The leading design festival in the region
Committed to amplifying talent from the region, Dubai Design Week presents the possibilities of what can be achieved through design.
Dubai Design Week brings together designers and creative practitioners to exchange ideas, collaborate and explore the evolving role of design in shaping a better collective future. Over the past decade, it has grown into a global platform with a strong emphasis on cross-cultural exchange and amplifying voices from West and South Asia, as well as the wider Global South.
Offering a rich and varied programme that speaks to multiple audiences, the festival features installations, new commissions, exhibitions, talks, workshops, a marketplace, the leading fair for contemporary design, Downtown Design and the Middle East's first limited-edition art and design fair, Editions.
Dubai Design Week is held under the patronage of Her Highness Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairperson of Dubai Culture & Arts Authority, in strategic partnership with Dubai Design District (d3), a member of TECOM Group PJSC, and supported by Dubai Culture.
Dubai Design Week is returning for its 11th edition from 4 - 9 November 2025. #DXBDW25
