Madrid Design Festival 2026

Madrid Design Festival is Madrid’s annual design festival, held each February since its inaugural 2018 edition and organized by the creative agency La Fabrica, timed to overlap with the ARCO art fair and turn the city’s February calendar toward design as well as art.

The festival spans public, private and official exhibitions across venues such as the Centro Cultural Fernan Gomez, the Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas and the Museo ABC, alongside talks and workshops at institutions like the Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos de Madrid. Programming covers fashion, furniture, graphic design, household objects and architecture, mixing retrospectives of designers such as Jaime Hayon and Manolo Blahnik with contemporary installations. It frames design as a tool to rethink everyday systems and processes, rather than a showcase for luxury goods alone.
