Design Week 2022 is now open!

This year’s Lithuanian Design Week, organised by the association Lithuanian Design Forum, will take place from 23 to 29 May, and invites you to join us in highlighting the achievements, progress and innovations of recent years. The aim is to broaden the concept of design, to give space not only to aesthetics and performativity, but also to insightful functionality and future-oriented solutions – all while maintaining quality.

The association announces that the colour of this year’s design festival is bright orange and the theme is #Insights. The word is insight, the ability to notice different things that may not be obvious to everyone. Just like the colour itself – a combination of yellow and red – conveys excitement, warmth and enthusiasm, this year’s theme invites people to reveal the ideas they have with the joy of discovering something new and the opportunity to enthusiastically share their insights and goals.

The Lithuanian Design Forum, which unites the country’s design and business communities and has been responsible for the Design Week festival for 17 years, invites you to look around and take a closer look at design this year.

“The idea of organising a design week in Lithuania started back in 2005. During the process, we consulted with the organisers of design weeks in Milan (Italy) and Eindhoven (Netherlands). We differ from them in that the Lithuanian festival covers as many as 6 cities, so it is open to both world-famous manufacturers and individual creators working in the local market. Every year the events and expositions surprise and introduce the public to the latest works of Lithuanian and foreign designers.We have had guests from all over Europe, we cooperate with embassies and design associations in other countries, we are members of the European Design Association BEDA, so

 the most famous brands participate in Design Week and present their products at the events.We hope that the good design virus will overcome the bad one COVID-19, and that designers will come up with a number of interesting solutions for the fast-changing lifestyle,” says Vytautas Gurevičius, one of the founders of the Lithuanian Design Forum and one of the organisers of Lithuanian Design Week.More about the festival – https://dizainosavaite.lt/apie/
