Venice Design Week is the festival dedicated to design held in the city of Venice, every October since 2010. For a week, the lagoon of Venice comes alive with exhibitions, conferences and meetings, competitions, workshops and guided tours that take place in a unique setting, full of history and contemporaneity, in a continuous exchange between cultures meeting and mutual comparison. VDW is a widespread event, in symbiosis with the city that hosts it, and that winds its way through calli and campielli, private galleries and museums, homes and artists’ studios, stores and workshops.

Venice Design Week is also an unmissable opportunity for connection and dialogue between established and emerging designers, international companies, artisans, architects and a curious and passionate public.

Your visit starts here: let us guide you by our VDW Map to the nearest vaporetto stop, and cross the threshold of a historic Venetian building that for the occasion welcomes the projects of established designers and young talents. Visit the points of interest – workshops and stores, artisans’ laboratories, artists’ studios – or if you prefer, get lost in the Venetian streets and discover some beauties hidden to the eyes of the less attentive.

Or if you’re a designer, enjoy the same priceless scenery while participating in round tables and talks, expanding your network and showcasing your project in a lively international setting.

Every year, Venice Design Week chooses a new theme for the current edition to be invastigated in the design field.
