Hybridart Design Shop & Cafe – Feel the beat of the city!
Hybridart is basically the gift shop of Design Terminál but as the name already suggests, it’s not a typical shop. It’s kind of like a mixture of everything – it’s a design shop, it’s a high-fashion store, it’s a café and it’s also sort of like a bar. It really is like a hybrid of everything that is cool about Budapest. Not to mention the fact that it is situated literally in the heart of the city. There’s always a huge buzz around here, on Erzsébet tér, with all the skater, the fashion junkies, the groupies and the businesspeople. Drop in, get yourself a nice piece of designer accessory – let’s just say, a Judit Takács bag or a ducsaijudit iPhone case – and order a coffee if you’re already there.
