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.

Since 2016, the design community has gathered every year in curated Berlin venues: studios, showrooms, galleries and universities that open their doors during the festival. Exhibitions, talks and workshops connect emerging talent with established studios and research with practice. The result is an optimistic outlook on the future of design, carried by a community that reaches well beyond Berlin.
