The Architecture Center “Powder Tower” Opens a Call for Participants for a New Project in Lviv
ARTHAOS IV: A New Space for Dialogue Between Design, Architecture, and the Furniture Industry
Contemporary product design is increasingly moving beyond its purely functional purpose and becoming a powerful tool for cultural expression. It is precisely at the intersection of design, art, and architecture that ARTHAOS IV is emerging — an interdisciplinary exhibition that will take place in Lviv this summer, bringing together designers, architects, interior product manufacturers, artists, and representatives of the creative industries.
The exhibition will be hosted at the Powder Tower Center for Architecture, Design, and Urbanism. The organizers aim to create an immersive exhibition exploring themes of self-perception, identity, and the relationship between people and their material environment through design, light, and artistic objects.
Today, furniture, lighting fixtures, mirrors, and other interior objects are no longer just elements of a space. They have become carriers of emotions, meanings, and identity. This is why projects such as ARTHAOS IV provide furniture manufacturers with new opportunities to present their products within a broader cultural context.
The project is particularly relevant at a time of growing international interest in collectible design and author-driven product design. For Ukrainian brands, it offers an additional platform to showcase expertise, build partnerships, and create new value at the intersection of manufacturing, design, and culture.
A Space for Collaboration Between Designers, Architects, and Manufacturers
In addition to the exhibition itself, ARTHAOS IV will feature a rich parallel program including discussions, lectures, curator-led tours, and professional networking events. Among the planned activities is a business panel bringing together interior designers, architects, and project participants to discuss current trends in product design and contemporary spatial solutions.
For furniture companies, this is an opportunity to move beyond the traditional exhibition format and establish direct dialogue with the professional audience shaping today’s interior design market.
The Lviv Furniture Cluster continues to keep its finger on the pulse of the events shaping the future of the furniture and design industries. We believe that sustainable industry development is impossible without close cooperation between furniture manufacturers, architects, designers, and representatives of the creative sector.
That is why we encourage companies, design studios, architects, and everyone connected to the furniture industry to consider ARTHAOS IV as a platform for networking, professional dialogue, and the development of new collaborative projects. Initiatives like this not only promote Ukrainian design but also create new opportunities for business growth, brand development, and the integration of Ukrainian products into the contemporary cultural landscape.
The exhibition is scheduled to open in June in Lviv. Both independent designers and companies interested in supporting contemporary culture and advancing Ukrainian design are invited to participate.
