Love for Love is a creative community project bringing together seven Slovenian and international designers to explore their personal experiences of love through textiles, design, and storytelling. Each designer presents the intimacy of emotion through her distinctive style, interpreting it in a unique design language.
Two parallel exhibitions will guide visitors through two creative hubs in Ljubljana:
- GT31LJ, a project space at Gornji trg
- STUDIO, a fashion and design studio on Dunajska cesta
The exhibition connects two locations, two design worlds, and multiple perspectives on one of the most powerful human emotions — love. It is a design manifestation of feeling, where space, material, and stories intertwine. The project concludes with a hands-on design workshop, where visitors will create alongside the designers and experience love through their own creative expression.
