Highlights from Irish Design Week 2025
See how last year’s events sparked creativity across Ireland — and imagine what you could bring to 2026!
Irish Design Week 2026
Irish Design Week returns for its fifth year with its most ambitious programme yet — a week-long, nationwide celebration of design in all its forms, from fashion and architecture to craft and graphic design.
With Ireland holding the EU Presidency, IDW 2026 takes the theme Fáilte Future Europe, pairing the warmth of Irish welcome with a forward-looking European agenda.
The centrepiece is the prestigious European Creative Industries Summit, hosted in partnership with the Federation of European Creative Industries, bringing creative leaders from across the continent to Ireland.
“IDW 2026 is an invitation for everyone to experience the power of design to inspire, solve problems and bring people together. Through a large number of events taking place across the country, we'll celebrate the work of Ireland's designers and makers while creating opportunities for new ideas and collaborations.”
