Bucharest, May 21, 2026 — Therme Group has joined the inaugural edition of Bucharest Design Festival (BDF) as a presenting partner of BDF Highlights: Branding Romania Through Creativity and a partner of BDF Professional International Projects. The festival, organized by THE INSTITUTE Foundation under the High Patronage of the President of Romania, runs May 20 to June 21, 2026 across more than 150 locations in the city.
Therme's participation reflects a guiding belief at the company: that culture, art, and design are integral to the wellbeing of cities and the people who live in them. Therme's resorts are built around this idea, integrating architecture, water, nature, and contemporary art into spaces designed for human connection. Supporting BDF extends that conviction into the public realm of Bucharest itself.
Speaking on behalf of Therme Group at the festival's opening ceremony, Ramona Chiriac, VP of Global Impact, said:
