What is DESIGN WEEK?
DESIGN WEEK is the only design festival of this scale in Lithuania, taking place for the nineteenth year in a row. From 3 to 9 June 2024, seven Lithuanian cities – Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Panevėžys, Alytus, Telšiai and Anykščiai – will be immersed in a design fiesta, where guests will be invited to take part in workshops, visit exhibitions, and creators will be invited to showcase their latest works to a curious and creative festival audience.
Design combines art and function, improving the quality of life and providing new perspectives on everyday life. That is why, alongside interior, industrial, book, fashion and ceramics design, we invite you to join us in other kinds of design. This year we hope to surprise the audience with a broader and more varied programme!
THEME
The theme of Design Week ’24 is CHANGE. As it is more important than ever to promote sustainable consumption, to address the global challenges of an unstable world and everyday life, the organisers will encourage the search for positive answers and technological solutions, creating practical products, saving energy, using durable and recyclable materials.
