DCCI Irish Design Week 2025 takes place from 17–21 November, exploring the theme “The Ties that Tie and the Links that Link.”
This year’s programme reflects on the past, present and future of Irish design, and challenges us to collaborate, connect, and shape what comes next.
Alongside events across Ireland, we have a five-part keynote series at the Royal Irish Academy of Music, featuring leading voices from architecture, fashion, sound, storytelling and systems design, each offering a unique perspective on how design links people, ideas and possibilities.
