Tallinn Design Festival will take place already for the 20th time this year. For two decades, the focus has been on design culture, future materials, innovation, sustainability, artificial intelligence, green design and social spaces.The jubilee program will feature nearly a hundred diverse events, many exploring how design can enrich everyone's lives, creating a world where design based on caring and humanity is the norm, not the exception.
The Festival is based on four pillars: debates and exhibitions on the future of design for professionals and students; community-engaging events; a rich satellite programme; and design commerce.
Since 2006, NGO Disainiöö,
in cooperation with the Estonian Association of Designers, has organised The Tallinn Design Festival. The initiative, which started as a part of the Design cultural theme year at the time, soon grew into a week-long design event and now serves as the biggest design festival in the Baltics, concentrating each year on the most important themes in the design scene.
