Downtown Design, the Middle East's platform for original design, will open its doors for the third time from 27 - 30 October 2015 to give quality-driven brands access to the rapidly growing market of the gulf region. The Fair will take place at Dubai Design District (d3) as a key element of Dubai Design Week. Registering for the Fair early is encouraged, to allow you to skip queues and plan your agenda.
Not to be missed, this year’s fair will host over 90 brands from 25 countries and 12 design talks that will provide insight and inspiration for the region’s architecture and interior design community. The panels and presentations this year are open to the public and will explore colour trends, spatial experience, product innovation and the evolution of Dubai’s architectural landscape.
This year’s exhibitors will showcase the best in furniture, lighting, bathrooms, kitchens, textiles and accessories. 35 brands this year are new to the region, and over 20 will display products that are making their global debut at Downtown Design. This year will also mark the first time that Italy will officially participate in Downtown Design, with the fair’s largest pavilion to date, at over 700sqm, which will showcase a selection of 15 luxury artisanal brands, coordinated by the Italian Trade Agency. The brands will promote the craft, techniques, materials and products that champion the ‘Made In Italy’ marque. For a full list of exhibitors, click here.
Downtown Design has also launched an exclusive Buyers Programme this year, that aims to provide a dynamic platform for pre-qualified trade professionals to discover new brands alongside some of the world’s most established, while offering the opportunity for industry learning and peer-to-peer networking. A dedicated Buyer Team will ensure all participants can efficiently meet the brands of their choice and enjoy a raft of benefits that include exclusive access to the Buyers Lounge, B2B matching service, VIP entry to social events and talks by industry leaders.

The expansion of Downtown Design, along with the establishment of Dubai Design District (d3) where the fair will be held as part of Dubai Design Week, will make Dubai a hub for industry and design enthusiasts this October. Register now for free and easy access to the show.
