YOUR FORMAT AT BERLIN DESIGN WEEK

Bookable now
Satellites · 22–27 April

What is shown at Berlin Design Week is freely chosen — as long as there is a link to design and news value, relevance, quality and ethical responsibility are evident. Contributions that engage with the theme “What’s Your Code_?” receive particular attention in our communication.

Typical participants include designers, brands, companies of all sizes, agencies, national representations, museums as well as educational and research institutions, presenting their own formats: exhibitions, talks, workshops, presentations and guided tours.

The programme usually takes place in participants’ own locations, which thereby become an integral part of Berlin Design Week. If needed, we help find suitable spaces. You decide the exact timing within the festival days.

Other BDW formats available for booking:

One evening, one design event across the city. Studios, galleries, agencies and universities open their doors, inviting audiences from Berlin and around the world to get to know their work and start a conversation. Visitors plan their tour using our online and offline maps, with routes by neighbourhood and opening hours. The kick-off of BDW. Berlin-based studios only, own location required. In 2027, the Berlin Design Nights take place on 22 April.

A hybrid of fair and market. Designers and producers are here to close deals — to take away, or for the order book. Two days, and present throughout, in conversation with shoppers and trend spotters. We are looking for small series, special editions, and products of exceptional craftsmanship or unique materiality from interior, furniture, fashion, jewellery and accessories. Participation includes stand space from €650, stand construction not included. In 2027, the DESIGN POOL takes place on 24 and 25 April.

Curated programme:
