Published programme

Seoul Design Week is a design festival that showcases the cutting-edge tastes of Seoul, a global design city. This year marks the thirteenth edition of Seoul Design Week, which will run from October 14th to 25th for a total of 12 days. The event will showcase a diverse range of design content under the theme "The Design Recipe." The DDP Design Fair, with its concept of "a market filled with diverse tastes," is a space where visitors can discover brands based in Seoul and tailor their experience to their individual preferences. The space is designed around the concept of "personal preferences" rather than specific product categories, creating a platform where established brands and emerging designers can coexist and collaborate. The exhibition will be held at key locations in Seoul, centered around the DDP, and extending to areas like Seongsu and Hongdae. This event, featuring works from 100 designers currently active in Seoul, design process exhibitions from overseas studios, and a pop-up shop filled with merchandise under the theme "Seoul Next," will fill the entire city with diverse inspiration and serve as a platform showcasing the broad spectrum of the design industry. In addition to this, we plan to showcase a variety of supporting programs, including exhibitions and markets, that will enhance the global competitiveness and unique qualities of Seoul's design, and contribute to a better quality of life for Seoul citizens.
