Venice Design Week 2025

Every year, Venice transforms into an international stage where art, architecture, and design dialogue with the city’s millenary history. Venice Design Week 2025, scheduled from October 11 to 19, 2025, will once again bring designers, companies, and enthusiasts from all over the world to the Lagoon, confirming itself as one of the most anticipated events in the international creative scene.

A meeting between past and future

This year’s central theme puts Venetian tradition in dialogue with new technologies. Venice, a city that has inspired architects and artists for centuries, becomes the ideal place to reflect on the role of design in contemporary society. Handcrafted objects, sustainability projects, digital design solutions, and innovative prototypes will find space in the calli, palaces, and museums, creating a widespread itinerary involving the entire city.

Exhibitions and widespread installations

As tradition dictates, Venice Design Week does not have a single exhibition venue but unfolds through a network of events and exhibitions throughout the historic center. Galleries, workshops, showrooms, and historic palaces will host installations, workshops, and meetings with the protagonists of contemporary design.
One of the most fascinating aspects of the event is precisely this integration with the urban fabric: visiting the Design Week means discovering Venice in a new way, entering spaces often not accessible to the public and experiencing design immersed in the city’s architectural beauty.

Design as a universal language

Venice Design Week addresses a wide audience: not only industry professionals but also tourists and curious visitors eager to be inspired. During the 2025 edition, projects that combine aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability will be presented, with particular attention to innovative materials and circular economy solutions.
A large space will also be given to digital and interactive design, with installations that allow visitors to enjoy immersive experiences, highlighting the increasingly central role of technology in contemporary creativity.

Venice as an exclusive setting

Attending the Venice Design Week means living an experience that goes beyond a simple exhibition. The city itself becomes the protagonist: St. Mark’s Square, the canals, and the historic palaces set the stage for a journey that combines art, history, and innovation.
Walking through Venice during Design Week, you can feel a cosmopolitan atmosphere where different cultures and languages meet. It is no coincidence that both emerging and established designers choose this setting to present their works and engage with an international audience.

An event not to be missed

With over ten years of history, the Venice Design Week has become a reference point in the international design calendar. The 2025 edition promises to be even richer and more stimulating, with a program combining exhibitions, conferences, workshops, and awards dedicated to emerging talents.

For those visiting Venice in October, the Design Week represents a unique opportunity to discover the city in a new light: not only as a treasure chest of historical wonders but as a creative and innovative hub capable of looking to the future without forgetting its roots.
