Dare Your Dreams Collection - Tehetségek N°10

The centenary of the Bauhaus movement inspired Stéphanie Bourgeois, Balsan’s director of style and creation. She chose to turn over the 10^th opus of Dare Your Dreams to the young talents at a renowned Hungarian art school founded by the pioneers of Bauhaus, introducing them to the graphic design production process and to the expertise of our partner Timkett, Balsan’s Hungarian distributor and a specialist in floorings such as carpets, vinyls, laminates and wood. Timkett gave the students an excellent opportunity to learn about interior design trends and the demands relating to sales and regulations.

With its 3,000 students and decades of experience, the university of Pécs is one of Hungary’s most innovative technical higher education establishments, and one of the country’s leading technology hubs. Its architecture course aims to reforge the links between art, craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology, in a continuation of the Bauhaus philosophy.
