The BERLIN DESIGN WEEK
in a nutshell
Berlin Design Week presents new approaches and trends in a design culture focused on innovation and sustainability. As an international platform, it connects Berlin’s strong creative landscape with design professionals from all over Europe – from established studios and next generation designers to research institutions and specialist networks.
Here, architecture, interior design, strategic branding, digital transformation and cutting-edge research merge into a vibrant ecosystem. Design is embraced in its entirety – not just as an aesthetic discipline, but as a means for social, technological and ecological transformation. Design creates realities and offers actionable strategies to navigate uncertainties.
In 2026 we celebrate 10 years of festival evolution. In curated Berlin locations with welcoming atmosphere, urban innovators and hidden champions come together and form a vibrant design community. The diverse festival program includes talks, workshops and networking events where new business models, platforms and ecosystems are created and optimistic perspectives for the future of design are developed.
