Design festival in Incheon this weekend
 |
"Design Korea 2009," a large-scale design festival, kicked off on Wednesday at the Songdo ConvensiA in Incheon, Gyeonggi Province.
The festival showcases more than 650 pieces of well-designed products from 19 countries. It also holds 12 separate exhibitions that introduce products with whimsical designs by up and rising Korean artists or eco-friendly designs.
Visitors can try out cool products at three experience zones. Touch screen computers and toy dogs with artificial intelligence greet kids at the "Living +" zone, mp3 players and game consoles can be found at the "Portable +" zone and the latest TV sets and digital frames are at the "Display +" zone.
A free shuttle bus runs from Songdo to Yeongjongdo, which is the location of the Trinale Incheon, a planned design museum and event venue modeled after the Triennale di Milano in the northern tip of Italy.
Trinale Incheon currently holds special exhibitions titled "What is Italian Design?" and "Nature, Art and Science."
The bus runs from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. until Monday.
"Design Korea 2009" runs through Tuesday. Tickets are 5,000 won for adults and 3,000 won for students. For more information, call (031) 780-2230 or visit www.designkorea.or.kr
