Flacon
A former glassworks that has now become a colourful urban space dedicated to the more creative ends of the business spectrum. One part of the former-factory area functions as office space for media groups, pr agencies, design bureaus and art workshops. The rest of the factory buildings are filled with attractive little boutiques selling unique clothes and accessories by local designers, cafes and bars and large temporary exhibition spaces and small private galleries.
Office and event platforms in loft style have been created here since 2009. Among its tenants there are advertising and event agencies, design studious and video productions, show-rooms and workshops of design goods and services. All this creates there are favourable conditions for implementation of innovation ideas in a sphere of creative industry: design and media industry, fashion and new crafts. There is a lot to explore here so you should definitely make a day of it. There are film festivals, big fairs, celebrations, balls and many other interesting events. One of them is a Planting Day organised by Seasons, a creative team who are famous for the unique format of festivals and other culture activities. You can plant a flower, sunbathe on a chaise-lounge, do some local shopping, enjoy watching a lovely film, rent a cool bike and have a tea ceremony. There are special parties devoted to countries or cities like Big English Dinner, Day of Italy, Day of Paris and Day of Madrid. There are hugely entertaining open air concerts with music and dances, national food dishes, films and even master classes. |
