Design Signals is FABER’s program for design research and practice. We invite designers to use diverse media, skills, and languages to uncover hidden narratives and untapped resources within the industrial ecosystems of Timișoara and Romania. Our goal is to question how design can evolve its strategies, practices and visions to actively shape alternative futures.
Following our previous investigations into the automotive (2023), textile (2024), and chemical (2025) sectors, the 2026 edition turns its lens toward a vital pillar of our regional ecosystem: The Agri-food Industry.
