Downtown Design, the anchor event of Dubai Design Week, will open its doors on 5th November 2025 at the Waterfront Terrace in Dubai Design District (d3).
Running until 9th November, the fair will bring together a curated selection of international design brands and regional design studios—from emerging talents to established names—reinforcing its status as the Middle East’s premier platform for high-quality contemporary design.
The event is organised in strategic partnership with Dubai Design District (d3), a member of TECOM Group PJSC, and is supported by Dubai Culture. The 2025 edition will showcase an extensive range of categories, including furniture, lighting, surfaces, textiles, home accessories, and limited-edition designs from around the world.
“Through dedicated platforms like Downtown Design and Dubai Design Week, we nurture a rich and distinctly native design narrative that reflects the city’s ambitions. Most importantly, these stages give creatives from our region and global brands a vital and dynamic platform to exchange ideas and set new benchmarks for the industry,” said Khadija Al Bastaki, Senior Vice President of d3.
Mette Degn-Christensen, Director of Downtown Design, said, “Every year, the fair grows in layers, continuing to bridge the worlds of the design industry and contemporary culture, and this year we have put together the Downtown Design 2025 fair experience as a human-centric place to discover, to evolve, and to connect.”
