Staged in partnership with Dubai Design District (d3) and supported by Dubai Culture & Arts Authority (DCAA) and Audi Middle East, this yearâ€™s Dubai Design Week programme was the most comprehensive to date. With 250 events from over 120 participating companies, the festival encompassed exhibitions, commissioned installations, awards and competitions, talks and workshops as well as tours and experiences for design enthusiasts and public visitors alike.

Dubai Design Week is a lead catalyst in establishing Dubai as a creative capital of the region and over the years has given the vast potential of designers from across the region an international platform to display their work. With an ambitious and broad-ranging agenda, Dubai Design Week mirrors the identity of the city by bringing together creative talent, exploring the unexpected and encapsulating the balance of ambition and innovation that drives Dubai.

Dubai Design Week is held under the patronage of Her Highness Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-Chairman of Dubai Culture & Arts Authority.
