design week

Annual creative showcase

Design week is an annual event, typically spanning several days, when a city showcases exhibitions, installations, talks, and open studios celebrating design in its various forms—furniture, architecture, fashion, graphics, industrial products.

Major cities host their own: Milan Design Week draws hundreds of thousands of visitors each April.

These events function as industry gatherings where trends emerge and professionals network, while also opening design culture to the public.
