Design Park

Every year at the Belgrade Design Week DIZAJNPARK we witness a small but carefully curated selection of design exhibitions, which are strongly related to the famous BDW international conference’s content, presenting the latest global findings of “The Leading Creative Minds of the 21st Century”.

The BDW DIZAJNPARK exhibitions showcase the latest works from few countries. It is a striking display of creativity which surprises, educates and enriches the atmosphere of the event, in yet another “forgotten” iconic urban location, reclaimed by Belgrade Design Week from years of neglect and complete wipe out from the collective memory of the citizens of Belgrade. 

After finding and rejuvenating the at time empty Palace of Federation, the bombed Hotel Jugoslavija, the abandoned Kluz department store, the shut down Museum of Modern Art, along with marking numerous other iconic locations in past years, BDW in 2014 gave to the visitors another gem of Serbian industrial architectural heritage: the old STAKLOPAN factory, smack in the middle of Belgrade’s bustling “Silicon Valley” – the Strahinjica Bana Street - yet covered by a layer of invisibility – like the famous Phantom building in the movie The Shadow.
