Tallinn Design Festival 2026 Returns for 21st Edition with Focus on the Future of Product Design

The Tallinn Design Festival / Disainiöö will hold its 21st edition from 28 September to 4 October 2026, bringing together contemporary Estonian design and international designers through exhibitions, talks, installations, workshops and events across the city. The main venue is the Põhjala Factory, a former industrial complex in northern Tallinn. This year's edition centres on the theme "The Future of Product Design." The programme poses a fundamental question: in a world already saturated with products, what should designers create next? The festival was announced on 25 September 2026, with the original version of the announcement published in English. The event spans a full week of programming distributed throughout Tallinn rather than confined to a single site, combining a local design scene with international participants.
