International Design Symposium Will be Held in Sofia in November

MELBA Festival reveals, nurtures and connects diverse perspectives on design and its implication for moving society forward, celebrating its provocative power to create beneficial sparks in our everyday life. The first edition of the festival takes place as an international symposium and as an exhibition-review of Bulgarian design.

The exhibition brings together the achievements and good ideas of Bulgarian designers, teams and agencies from the last year in the categories of product design and ceramics, graphic design, illustration, fashion and textiles, jewelry and social design.
