About the Exhibition
The annual exhibition of the ULUPUDS Design Section is a traditional showcase of contemporary production in the fields of graphic and product design. The display features works across a wide range of disciplines, from visual identities, packaging, and publication design to everyday product design, highlighting both the artistic and functional value of contemporary design.
DESIGN 25
This edition of the exhibition presents works produced during 2025. Through 49 selected pieces, 40 prominent local designers offer insight into current trends and diverse approaches within contemporary design. Through their ideas, visual language, and distinct authorial positions, these creators actively shape contemporary tendencies and influence today’s visual and cultural landscape.
A common thread among all participants lies in their thoughtful approach to product creation in response to user needs, as well as in the authenticity and professional integrity embedded in each exhibited work. The exhibition is further enriched by a significant number of realized projects—books, publications, packaging, and various promotional materials—that demonstrate the practical application and relevance of design in everyday life.
Alongside the most represented works in graphic design, visitors will also encounter projects from the fields of product design, as well as visual and electronic media. The exhibition also includes members of other ULUPUDS sections, presenting works that bridge multiple disciplines closely related to design, such as architecture, interior design, fashion and textile design, and jewelry design.
Through the ideas and innovative solutions of the featured authors, it is possible to trace the development and directions of the local design scene, as well as its connection to contemporary global trends. The language of design functions as a universal form of communication, while the space for creativity and boundary-pushing remains limitless.
