Taking place 8-12 November 2021, Downtown Design, the Middle East’s leading design fair for original and high-quality design, will offer exhibitors a unique platform to access creative and commercial opportunities in the MENA region and beyond.
A key commercial highlight of Dubai Design Week, the region’s largest creative festival, the fair attracts top-tier industry audience – architects, interior designers, specifiers, hoteliers and developers, as well as HNWIs and public visitors from the Middle East, Africa, South Asia and beyond.
New to 2021, will be dedicated sections across the key industry sectors, each with tailor-made promotional campaigns to enhance the market profile of the participating brands. Alongside an extensive collateral programme that will include conceptual showcases by regional architects and interior designers, Downtown Design’s talks programme and onsite networking events, Connect Programme, the fair’s B2B platform will offer brands direct access to key design professionals with relevant project pipelines.
Attracting over 19,000 visitors including the region's top design firms, industry decision-makers and influencers (a 20% year-on-year growth in visitor numbers), Downtown Design 2019 showcased over 200 international and regional brands from over 30 countries, alongside country pavilions, an insightful talks programme and large-scale installations. Supporting the objectives of the design industry in a challenging climate, in 2020, Downtown Design presented a hybrid programme with digital and onsite activations during Dubai Design Week.
In 2021, Downtown Design continues to consolidate its leadership in the regional market, connecting brands from around the world with potential clients and commercial opportunities in the Middle East and beyond.
