Belgrade Design Week 2010

The fifth edition of Belgrade Design Week will be held from May 29th to Jun 6th 2010 and it will again transform Belgrade into a true epicenter of creativity, where leading international design superstars will lecture at the BDW’s centerpiece, the international conference “SMART2”.
