Dubai Design Week 2026

Dubai Design Week is the region's leading design festival, committed to amplifying talent from the region and showing what can be achieved through design. The festival 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 on amplifying voices from West and South Asia and the wider Global South. The programme features installations, new commissions, exhibitions, talks, workshops, a marketplace and Downtown Design, the leading fair for contemporary design in the Middle East. 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.
