Łódź Design Festival 2026

Łódź Design Festival is Poland’s major design festival, held annually in Łódź since its founding in 2007, staged largely across the post-industrial halls of Art_Inkubator at Fabryka Sztuki alongside venues throughout the city.

The festival brings together industrial, graphic, service, fashion and architectural design under a shifting annual theme, presented through exhibitions, talks and installations. Its programme includes make me!, an international competition spotlighting emerging designers, and must have, a plebiscite recognizing standout Polish products, alongside Archiblok discussions on architecture and urban planning and Edukreacja, a family-oriented creative strand. An open call also lets independent projects join the programme, drawing a steadily growing number of participants each year.
