Concluding the pop-up exhibition series The Close up of Design Processes, the Museum of Decorative Arts and Design, in cooperation with the association Design Export Alliance, presents the fourth exhibition, Winter, wich will be on view from 5 December 2024 to 2 February 2025.



This show serves as a grand finale to the museum’s 35th anniversary project, bringing together 14 Latvian companies. Exhibition visitors will view creations of national brands, including Kanttari, Studio Sarmīte, an&angel, Vaidava Ceramics, Livette’s Wallpaper, mammalampa, Madara Cosmetics, Mint, Stenders, Aretai, Nordi, Articul (Riga Chair Factory), PAA Baths, and Baiba Glass. Together, these works evoke the atmospheric feeling characteristic of Latvian winter. The charcoal-coloured wooden table designed by the Mint was chosen as the central object, on top and around of which the products manufactured by other companies are placed. Viewers will have the chance both to see previously assessed design works and to discover new creations.
