Barcelona has emerged as one of Europe’s most exciting design hotspots, making this event a must for anyone interested in the cutting edge of creativity. Barcelona Design Week is one of the city’s main annual creative events. As usual, it brings together an international design, innovation and business crowd to network, learn and enjoy.
So, what’s in store? Across the week, there’ll be exhibitions, installations and interactive experiences that explore themes from sustainability to social change. What’s more, you’ll be able to engage with workshops, lectures and panel discussions led by leading designers and thinkers, which offer insights into current trends and future directions in design.
Highlights include the “Creative Optimism” workshop and exhibition, exploring strategic design for regenerative futures, and the “Inspired in Barcelona: Luce” installation, which celebrates light and craftsmanship. Other showcases feature work from IED Design students and collaborations with studios like Orac and Cosentino.
