About the event
What is Dubai Design Week?
Dubai Design Week is a six-day festival of architecture, interiors, product, furniture and graphic design, with more than 200 events. The programme includes the Abwab group exhibition, Urban Commissions, installations, talks, workshops and a weekend marketplace. Its anchor is Downtown Design, the Middle East's leading fair for contemporary and high-quality design, where furniture, lighting and surface brands show new collections to architects and designers.
Downtown Design reports that over 1,000 designers from more than 50 countries exhibited in 2025, and that more than 100,000 people visited d3 during the week. Design is a visual industry, so brands and studios need strong photography of stands and installations, short walk-through videos and designer interviews they can use long after the week ends.
