Larnaka Plan B

Larnaka Plan B is a three-day design festival exploring the hidden potential of the city of Larnaka.

Kicking off with the exhibition launch party, the festival will host imaginative workshops, talks, a film screening and a debate at our innovative exhibition space - a creative cafe offering traditional and delicious food and drinks.

This exciting event has been created by a group of students from Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design (London) in partnership with Cypriot-based design collective, Schedia. Together, they have dreamt up a different Larnaka which celebrates its people and culture. The festival explores a new approach to human-centered design, the re-use of materials and spaces, and the treasures that can be found in unexpected places.

Larnaka Plan B cafe is located in the Kizi’s Arcade, corner of Ermou Avenue, Larnaka.
