Dubai Design Week

Dubai Design Week is the region's largest creative festival, reflecting Dubai's position as the design capital of the Middle East. The six-day varied programme of design-related events, exhibitions, performances, awards, talks and workshops and experiences is made up of events covering design across a range of disciplines including architecture, product, furniture, interior and graphic design. An accessible meeting point for the global design community, Dubai Design Week, staged in strategic partnership with Dubai Design District (d3), is a platform for regional design as well as a catalyst for the growth of the creative scene in Dubai. Key events include the region's leading design fair Downtown Design and its showcase dedicated to limited-edition design, Downtown Editions; the MENA Grad Show that brings together works from the most innovative universities from across the region; and Abwab, the curated and interactive project containing original design from the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia.
