Bratislava Design Week

Bratislava Design Week is the largest international event in Slovakia dedicated to contemporary design. Established in 2011, it presents the best of the domestic design scene every year alongside selected projects by intriguing international creatives. It provides a platform for established designers, design students, independent brands, and experimental design and fashion, connecting them with visitors of all ages. The festival features a special curatorial section and much of the program is generated through an open call. The festival’s headquarters are selected to showcase them to the public in a different context through design and live events. Since 2016, the civic association Aparát has been the main organizer of the festival.
