New edition
Downtown Design is yet again transforming Dubai’s role in the global design conversation.
After six successful years of showcasing collectible design, Design Days Dubai will be reformed and moved to November to evolve into a key element within the Downtown Design trade fair (13 – 16 November), uniting the region’s two leading design exhibitions, as an integral part of Dubai Design Week (12-17 November), the region’s largest creative festival.
Downtown Editions, held in partnership with Dubai Design District (d3) will build on the legacy of the city’s first collectible design fair, to be a curated exhibition of bespoke design, capsule collections, individual studios and designer collaborations. By joining forces with the commercial design and furniture showcase of Downtown Design, it will emphasize Dubai’s position as a thriving design destination and offer an enhanced platform for introducing the international industry to opportunities in the region, whilst presenting local and regional designers to the global scene.
