BCN Design Week
By Yvonne Mannix
Design enthusiasts have plenty to look forward to this month with the return of Barcelona Design Week. This year sees the 14th edition of an event that brings together an international design, innovation and business crowd to network, learn and celebrate. The program is packed with over a hundred activities including workshops, conferences, presentations, exhibitions and more.
Highlights this year include the Design Week Summit (now sold out), Creating Caring Transitions for Social Good exhibition at Disseny Hub, screening of the documentary Rams (€5) on influential designer Dieter Rams on June 17th and talk series Good Design Is… (€30) the following day, and the FAD’s annual Best Design of the Year exhibition.
New this year, the Design in Diagonal section brings venues Casa de les Punxes, Palau Robert as well as hotels, shops and restaurants around the avenue into the fold. Check the full program online where you can register for both paid and free events.
