About Design Week Dublin
SHOWCASING DUBLIN’S VIBRANT ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN COMMUNITY.
Design Week Dublin (DWD), in partnership with Range Rover, is back, taking place September 16-20 2026, and encompassing an exciting programme of events showcasing Dublin’s architecture and design community.
Founded by Jane and Sarah McDonnell, co-founders of THE GLOSS Magazine and THE GLOSS Interiors, DWD is a unifying gathering where designers, architects and fashion designers bring creativity to life in the city and a design-curious audience enjoys the engaging programme of events.
The work of exceptional Irish architects, interior designers and creators on the national and international stage is explored, along with the inspiring work of international guest speakers. There are talks by leading design champions, spaces to explore, design and fashion conversations and panel discussions, and plenty of opportunities to network with the design community over coffee or cocktails.
Some of the exciting participants include design icon Jasper Conran, award-winning architects O’Donnell + Tuomey and Níall McLaughlin, interior designers Róisín Lafferty, Brian Woulfe, Susan McGowan, Sara Cosgrove and Geri O’Toole, garden designer Diarmuid Gavin and fashion designer Maria Grachvogel.
DWD will take place at the anchor location of Anantara The Marker Dublin, and the historic Malt House building, both in Dublin’s Grand Canal Quay area, as well as in exciting satellite spaces, showrooms and studios throughout the capital. While light refreshments will be served at all events, you can book breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea or dinner at Anantara The Marker here and make a morning, afternoon or evening at Design Week Dublin even more enjoyable.
