Romania’s Installation from the London Design Biennale 2025 arrives in Cluj Behind every pavilion lies a collective story – artists, architects, designers, and curators working together to ensure Romania’s presence at one of the world’s most important design events. From 3 to 10 October 2025, The Cosmic House Gallery hosts Romania’s Pavilion – an installation about sustainability, circular design, and inclusion. The project invites reflection: how can seemingly “worthless” materials be transformed into art, and how can a community come together to build a more responsible future? The installation brings together: - a sphere made of over 500 CDs; - “nests” of recycled paper; - suspended “wings”; - 10,000 recovered plastic elements; - 20 kg of copper transformed into art. Portraits of dozens of Romanian personalities, illustrated by more than 40 artists, enrich the narrative of collective memory and identity. Information is made accessible through QR codes and the Scripor tactile alphabet, designed for visually impaired visitors. The installation can be visited at The Cosmic House Gallery (General Eremia Grigorescu Street, no. 106, Cluj-Napoca) from 3–10 October 2025, daily between 5:00–7:00 PM (Monday to Thursday with prior reservation made one day in advance), with free access to the exhibition, recital, and workshop. The special program includes the opening and recital by Ada Morar on 3 October at 6:30 PM, and a cork recycling workshop for adults and children on 5 October, from 5:00–7:00 PM.
