Ruffini Mercato - Creative Pop-up-Store

From June 30 to July 18, 2026, Kreativ München’s pop-up store will become a gathering place for Munich’s creative scene: The Ruffini Mercato will open its doors and, for three weeks, showcase original products, creative workshops, and community events.

Behind this collaborative project are 24 creatives from the RUFFINIHAUS Creative Hub, who work in the fields of architecture, photography, graphic design, illustration, fashion, furniture design, and textile design. 

At the pop-up store, visitors can discover one-of-a-kind items developed and produced locally, including hand-woven textiles, designer furniture, creative stationery, children’s clothing with a Munich theme, feminist accessories, and a new edition of an American Mahjong board game.

In addition to sales, the focus is above all on getting involved. In workshops, interested visitors can get creative themselves—for example, in classes on monotype printing, weaving on a mini loom, calligraphy, or textile design.

The program is rounded out by a pop-up café, a photo exhibition opening, an interactive design-build installation, and a panel discussion on sustainability communication.

Visitors will spot a special highlight from afar at the Rindermarkt: a larger-than-life cat by Munich-based 3D artist Vincent Schwenk makes the Mercato stand out.
 

Starts on June 30 

The official opening of the Ruffini Mercato will take place on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, from 6 to 10 p.m. Guests can meet the participating creatives, win special one-of-a-kind items in a raffle, and round out the evening with music from DJs at the Ruffinihaus.

Hours of operation 

The pop-up store (address: Am Rindermarkt 10) is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Please note the specific times for each event; registration is required for the BusinessCamp on July 11–12.
