Revista Atelierul project

Since april 2010, Revista Atelierul is promoting Romanian and international creative and cultural industries.

I am the co-founder of the project. With over 9,5 millions visitors, Revista Atelierul is the most important creative magazine in Romania. The goal is to build an international community of product designers and creators which focuses on introducing the general public to new and upcoming artists, quality, supporting cultural expression.

Another important goal of our project is to challenge the belief that craft designer goods are inferior to an art piece. There is no competition between participating designers and creators. There is just a strong community of the best and brightest. www.revista-atelierul.ro

Revista Atelierul is a NICE member (Network for Innovation in Culture and Creativity in Europe)

In 2022, Revista Atelierul is financed by The Ministry of Culture, Romania.
