Beirut Design Week 2013

The MENA Design Research Center is bringing you the Second Annual Beirut Design Week. Unlike traditional fairs and exhibitions, this is an opportunity to enjoy seven days of exploring all aspects of local design throughout our city. As an annual event, all participating designers showcase their work by opening up their shops and studios and hosting various events.

Beirut Design Week 2013 is dedicated to promoting all Lebanese designers, who have been playing a vital role in the formation of the city’s contemporary design identity and culture. These include product designers, furniture designers, communication and graphic designers, fashion designers, interior designers, architects, design educators, service designers, design thinkers, social designers, design researchers, publishers, universities, schools, institutions, companies, boutiques, studios, communities, and galleries.

During Design Week 2013, a series of events including the Launching Opening Night, the main BDW13 Conference, the Poster Competition: Beirut 2090 Exhibition, as well as other exhibitions, talks, workshops, open studios and parties will be taking place in various parts of the city simultaneously.

This year the week will also be organized in such a way that each day will be dedicated to a certain part of the city with a program that allows the audience to explore every nook and cranny without missing out on any of the events. For more information please check out the Program.
