SUMMARY:Amman Design Week 2026: Accumulations Marks the Comeback
DESCRIPTION:After almost seven years of silence\, Amman Design Week 2026 is back with the fourth edition. From 2 to 17 October\, the Jordanian capital opens up its studios\, galleries and old stone houses to designers\, students and the public once again. The fourth edition picks up where the 2019 one left off\, and its theme\, Accumulations\, speaks directly to everything that has been building up in the meantime.\n \nAmman Design Week\, October 2-17\, 2026\nSize: over 220 designers\, more than 60 spaces\nLocations: Various venues across five districts: Ras El Ain\, Jabal Al Lweibdeh\, Jabal Amma\, Iraq Al Amir\, Aqaba\nTickets: Free admission\, registration required for some specific events\nOpening hours: Opening hours vary by specific venue\, exhibition\, and event\, with most main installations and open houses operating daily between 10:00 AM and 10:00 PM \nMore info at Amman Design Week 2026  website \nDiscover Dubai Design Week 2025 \nThe Hangar Exhibition\, 2019. Photo: Edmund Sumner\, courtesy Amman Design Week \nA Look Back at Amman Design Week\nHer Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah founded Amman Design Week in 2016. Three editions followed\, in 2016\, 2017 and 2019\, the last one running from 4 to 12 October 2019. Together they drew 89\,000 visitors\, more than 160 exhibitors and 52 participating spaces\, figures that turned the event into a reference point for design in the region. \nThose editions brought local\, regional and international designers to Amman and kept everything free and open to all: large curated exhibitions\, student and community programs\, workshops\, talks and cultural events across the city. \nWhat sets Amman apart is how the team sees itself. It describes the project less as an event and more as a curatorial platform\, with learning programs\, commissions and mentorship running all year round. The design week is the moment when all this work goes public\, and from now on it will take place every two years. \nThe choice of the “Design Week” name was deliberate as well. It links Amman to the global network of design weeks\, while the focus stays on building a creative movement with a clear social value. \nThe Hangar Exhibition\, 2016 \nAccumulations: The Theme of Amman Design Week 2026\nDesign themes often stay vague. Accumulations does not. The organizers see accumulation not as a pile of things\, but as the slow coming together of experience\, material and history\, a process that people shape together rather than alone. \nIn Jordan\, they argue\, the line between tradition and innovation is thin. Accumulating therefore means negotiating: between past and future\, between scarcity and possibility\, between what people inherit and what they make. \nThe theme also ties back to the long pause. In the organizers’ words\, the six years since the last edition were years in which creative energy\, social change and untapped resources kept stacking up. From here\, Accumulations questions the usual idea of wealth and points instead to human ingenuity\, cooperation\, heritage\, the vision of a new generation and the land itself\, with its layered ecologies where human\, animal and plant life meet. \nFor those working in architecture and interiors\, this is a theme about process and materials rather than polished finished objects.\n \nThe Crafts District\, Amman Design Week 2019 \nFifty Venues Across Amman and Jordan\nAmman Design Week takes place in over 50 venues spread across Ras El Ain\, Jabal Al Lweibdeh\, Jabal Amman\, Iraq al Amir and Aqaba\, with most events in the capital and fringe activities in other Jordanian cities. \nAmong the new entries\, Darat Abu Adnan stands out. It joins the design week for the first time this year and opens one of the few heritage homes still standing in Jabal Al Lweibdeh. Contemporary design set inside historic architecture is one of the strongest draws of this edition. \nOver the years\, the program has grown around a few main pillars: the Hangar Exhibition\, the Crafts District\, the Student Exhibition\, children’s programs\, urban interventions\, workshops and talks\, and a strand on culture and food.\n \nThe Student Exhibition\, 2019. Photo Edward Summer\, courtesy Amman Design Week \nWorkshops Ahead of Amman Design Week 2026\nMuch of the hands-on work happens in the run-up to the event. Francisco Regalado of LAAA (Laboratorio de Arte\, Arquitectura y Arqueología) is leading a two-week intensive workshop on the studio’s approach to rebuilding heritage\, which brings together close research\, digital technology and experimental fabrication. In a city with so many historical layers\, the fit with the theme is clear. \nTracing Amman takes a different path: an analogue photowalk and image-making workshop led by Leen Alfatafta and Lina Khalid of Darkroom Amman\, together with Hannin Alnimri of makāna. Participants have also met at CPF Makerspace to try out the digital fabrication tools available for their projects. \nA Strong Program for Young Designers\nThe student mentorship program is one of the most interesting parts of this edition. It received 203 applications from more than 88 universities\, institutions and high schools across Jordan. The team selected 37 projects by 47 students\, who will now design\, develop and produce a new original piece that may go on show at Amman Design Week 2026. \nFor anyone travelling to the Middle East this autumn\, or simply following the international design calendar\, Amman is well worth keeping in mind. After years of quiet accumulation\, the city has a lot to show. \nWhy visit\n\nAmman Design Week offers something rare on the international calendar: contemporary design shown inside heritage homes and historic neighbourhoods\, free and open to all. It is also a chance to discover new voices from Jordan and the Middle East\, well before they reach the major European design fairs.  \n\nAmman Design Week\, October 2-17\, 2026\nSize: over 220 designers\, more than 60 spaces\nLocations: Various venues across five districts: Ras El Ain\, Jabal Al Lweibdeh\, Jabal Amma\, Iraq Al Amir\, Aqaba\nTickets: Free admission\, registration required for some specific events\nOpening hours: Opening hours vary by specific venue\, exhibition\, and event\, with most main installations and open houses operating daily between 10:00 AM and 10:00 PM \nMore info on Amman Design Week 2026  website \nSome images from the past editions \n\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n\n\n  \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Design Week Mexico 2026: the program of Mexico City's design week
DESCRIPTION:Design Week Mexico 2026  takes  place in Mexico City from 5 to 11 October\, although most of its exhibitions stay open well into November\, and one runs until January 2027. Founded in 2009 by Emilio Cabrero\, Andrea Cesarman\, Marco Coello and Jaime Hernández\, it’s now in its 18th year. Over the years\, DWM has built a wide program of exhibitions\, talks\, installations and documentaries that brings professionals\, students and the general public together. \nDesign House\, Design Week Mexico 2025 \nSince 2013\, each edition also welcomed a guest country\, which brings its own design scene into the program. Brazil opened the series in 2013\, followed by the United Kingdom in 2014 and Italy in 2015. DWM26 brings together design\, architecture\, craft and art-object\, with Chile as guest country and a shared curatorial line\, “Perspectives from the Global South“. Almost all venues sit within the Miguel Hidalgo borough\, between Polanco\, Chapultepec and Lomas\, so the week can be covered on foot and by short rides.\n \nChile\, guest country of Design Week Mexico 2026\nChile’s presence builds on an open call for Chilean designers living in Chile or elsewhere in Latin America. Five of them were picked to work side by side with Mexican artisans: Camilo Huinca (Onlyjoke)\, ceramist Catalina Zarhi\, Paula Corrales\, Raúl Hernández Tralma of Trufquen\, known for combining Pomaire clay with mouth-blown glass\, and Rodrigo Bravo Ferretti of Bravo Estudio in Santiago. The project is backed by Chile’s Ministry of Cultures\, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Chilean Embassy in Mexico. \nDiscover more on São Paulo Design Week 2026 \nVisión y Tradición at the Museo Nacional de Antropología\nThe results of these residencies go on show in the half-moon gallery of the Museo Nacional de Antropología\, from 8 October to 1 November\, with free entry. Each Chilean designer teamed up with a workshop in a different state: Rodrigo Bravo with a stone workshop in Yucatán that carves local limestones\, Raúl Hernández Tralma with a potter from Amatenango del Valle in Chiapas\, Camilo Huinca with a family studio in Uruapan working with maque inlay lacquer\, Paula Corrales with a horsehair workshop in Jalisco\, and Catalina Zarhi with a young Mata Ortiz potter from Chihuahua. \nA Mexican section pairs local designers with artisans too\, among them Aura Carpio with a family of coppersmiths from Santa Clara del Cobre and Gustavo Pacheco\, already seen at SaloneSatellite in Milan\, with a collective of Rarámuri textile makers. \nDesign Week Mexico 2026 runs 5-11 October in Mexico City with Chile as guest country. Full guide to the DWM26 program\, venues\, dates and tickets. \nVision & Tradition\, Design Week Mexico 2025 \nInmersiones Creativas México-Francia at Casa Ortega\nCasa Ortega hosts a look back at three years of residencies between French designers and Mexican craftspeople\, carried out with the French Embassy\, IFAL\, Institut Français and Mobilier National in the year France and Mexico mark two centuries of diplomatic relations. More than thirty French creatives have travelled across the country since 2023. The 2026 pairings include Matali Crasset with the brand and Jacob\, working on marble and blown glass\, Wendy Andreu with a Guadalajara stone company\, Théophile Blandet with Toro Manifesto on a kinetic lamp inspired by the Voladores de Papantla ritual\, and Fanny Serouart with Taller Maya on henequen fibre and leather. The show opens on 5 October and runs until 25 October\, free until 11 October.\n \nPabellon Audi\, Design Week Mexico 2025 \nDesign House 2026\nDesign House\, the flagship project of Design Week Mexico\, reaches its 17th edition inside a 1970s house by architect Fernando Jackson\, on Paseo de las Palmas in Lomas de Chapultepec. Leading Mexican architecture and interior studios fit out each room\, among them Ezequiel Farca\, C Cúbica Arquitectos\, Uribe Krayer and Toro Manifesto. Italian brands also show up through two pairings\, Arditti with Molteni&C and Colectivo ERRA with La Marzocco. Furniture\, lighting and finishes come from the Dealers de Diseño\, which share the same venue and dates. Open daily from 9 October to 1 November\, tickets on Eventbrite.\n \nDesign House\, Design Week Mexico 2025 \nInédito at Espacio CDMX\nInédito turns twelve and remains the main platform for utilitarian design and art-object in Mexico. At Espacio CDMX\, in Chapultepec forest\, it gathers more than seventy professional studios\, design schools and emerging makers\, all showing pieces never seen before. Biomaterials\, reuse of resources\, new manufacturing methods and fair dealings with traditional crafts are the recurring topics. Free entry from 10 October to 10 January.\n \nInedito\, Design Week Mexico 2025 \nPRINT\, graphic design and illustration\nThe third edition of PRINT takes over the White Box of G.56 Hub Creativo in San Miguel Chapultepec. It picks up the same Global South theme through graphic design\, illustration\, typography and printed media selected by an international jury\, which hands out a 20\,000-peso PRINT Prize. Free\, from 8 to 31 October.\n \nPRINT\, Design Week Mexico 2025 \nTours de Diseño\, the parallel agenda\nFrom 1 October to 1 November\, the Tours de Diseño link up showrooms\, workshops and design shops across Mexico City\, covering both contemporary and craft-based Mexican design. The circuit gives dozens of local makers a chance to open their doors during the busiest month of the year for design in the city. The full calendar of events and openings is published on the Design Week Mexico website\, alongside the DWM26 map. \nWhy visit\nDesign Week Mexico offers a rare chance to see contemporary design and traditional craft side by side\, in residencies that pair designers with artisans from all over the country. The venues are part of the experience too\, from the Museo Nacional de Antropología to a 1970s house in Lomas de Chapultepec\, and most exhibitions are free. With Chile as guest country and a strong focus on Latin America\, DWM26 is a good way to catch up with the design scenes of the Global South. Since many shows stay open well into November\, there is plenty of time to take everything in. \nDesign Week Mexico 2026: key dates\n\n\n\n\nEvent \n\n\nVenue \n\n\nDates \n\n\nEntry fee \n\n\n\n\nInmersiones Creativas \n\n\nCasa Ortega \n\n\n6-25 October (opening 5 October) \n\n\nFree until 11 October\, then 50 MXN \n\n\n\n\nVisión y Tradición \n\n\nMuseo Nacional de Antropología \n\n\n8 October-1 November (opening 7 Oct) \n\n\nFree \n\n\n\n\nPRINT \n\n\nG.56 Hub Creativo \n\n\n8-31 October (opening 7 October) \n\n\nFree \n\n\n\n\nDesign House +\nDealers de Diseño \n\n\nPaseo de las Palmas 1305 \n\n\n9 October-1 November \n\n\n250-300 MXN \n\n\n\n\nInédito \n\n\nEspacio CDMX \n\n\n10 October 2026-10 January 2027 (opening 9 October) \n\n\nFree \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nTours de Diseño \n\n\nAcross the city \n\n\n1 October-1 November \n\n\nFree \n\n\n\n\nSize: more than 200 events\, over 100 activities; 200\,000+ visitors\nMany events are free\, other require an entry fee\nOpening hours: October 5 – 11\, 2026\, 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM\nDiseño Contenido (Lincoln Park): October 10 and 11\, from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM\nMain Exhibitions (Design House\, Vision & Tradition\, Inédito\, etc.):\nRun on individual schedules through October and November 2026\nVisit Designmexico.com website for info  \n \n\n  \n\n  \n
