The largest design festival in the Baltics opens its doors in the industrially infused Krulli Quarter (Kopli 70a, 10412 Tallinn). Attracting over 10,000 visitors from Estonia and abroad, the week-long Tallinn Design Festival showcases the achievements of Estonian and international designers and initiates discussions on design’s position in today’s society. For the first time, the main programme reaches beyond the borders of the capital to the village of Joaveski.

The aim this year is to demonstrate how creativity can be employed to create a better physical and social environment. The focus is on small places that have been revitalised via creative design thinking. A dedicated international design forum will bring together architects, urban planners, designers and enthusiasts who share a common interest in creating sustainable, liveable and aesthetically pleasing environments. Inspiring presentations will be given by Cameron Sinclair (USA), Stephan Clambaneva (USA), Spyros Bofylatos (Greece) and Kitti Butter (Hungary).
