Think Forward is an interdisciplinary studio, founded in 2013, which practice exceeds architectural, interior and interactive design. The studio is focused on socio-ethical and ecological problems and their innovative solutions by the means of art.

Among their projects are: the first outdoor school in Bulgaria Out-of-School; “Demokratos” – a democratic space within a traditional school; “5 Rooms”, a multifunctional space that offers a solution to the problems associated with children’s hyperactivity; a school anti-stress space; the Salght research, presenting the qualities of salt as a material for locally-identical product design. These projects follow Think Forward’s overall philosophy of educational spaces breaking the traditional authoritarian education system.

DESIGN IS…a powerful tool for social change.
