What awaits you
Nobody rushes you. You take your time choosing, you talk to the people who made the products, and between two stands you sit down for a coffee or a seasonal cocktail. Shopping as it should be: with time and with people.
Who's coming
Here, gifts don't come from a factory, they come from someone's hands. Designers, artisans, illustrators, jewellers and producers bring to every edition pieces made with care, in small series or one of a kind.
A special moment
The installation reinterprets a familiar space, transforming its aesthetics and the way it is perceived and experienced.
Textiles have always been with us, closely tied to our experiences and to the spaces we live in. This familiar relationship, together with the flexibility of the material, lets textiles interact with architecture in a way of their own. Brought to architectural scale, they can radically change the atmosphere of a place and the way we relate to it.
Visitors are invited to walk through, discover and look at the space from unexpected angles, becoming an active part of the experience.
More than a visual intervention, the installation is an invitation to experience a familiar place in a completely new way.
Vision: Tina Chiriță. Production: IARMAROC.com & Events Asylum.
Where it happens
Edition venue
Str. Universității 8, Cluj-Napoca

The salons of a Baroque palace, a hundred metres from the centre of Cluj
The building on Strada Universității was raised between 1750 and 1753 by a count who asked that his name be written nowhere. From 1791 it became the residence of the Esterházy family, and it has had its present form since 1843, when it became known as the Esterházy Palace; the count's initials can still be read on the stone above the gate. Today the upstairs salons belong to Da Pino.
The fair takes place in the upstairs salons, above the Da Pino restaurant. The entrance is at Strada Universității 8, through the inner courtyard, where the textile installation welcomes you.

A place with a history of local business, right in the centre of Cluj
The building in Piața Unirii was completed in 1860, and in 1884 the Association of Merchants, Industrialists and Craftsmen of Cluj was founded here: a meeting place for people who made things, well ahead of its time. Renovated and brought back into the life of the city, CASA NUMAÀ now brings together art, gastronomy and architecture: a restaurant and coffee shop on the ground floor, a wine cellar in the basement and an events hall upstairs.
The fair takes place in the upstairs events hall. The entrance is at Piața Unirii 24; on the ground floor you will find the house's restaurant and coffee shop.
