The full programme will be unveiled shortly.
The organiser of the event, Design Luxembourg, is the representative federation of designers in the Grand Duchy. It works to promote, recognise and develop the sector. Its reported mission is to enhance the design professions and their specificities with public and private bodies, while raising awareness of their impact on the economy, culture and society. Founded in 1995 and under agreement since 2024 with Luxembourg’s Ministry of Culture, the association is preparing to celebrate three decades of existence.
In 2023, it organised the European Design Festival, a reference event at European level. The upcoming first edition of the Luxembourg Design Festival is part of this continuity and aims to establish itself sustainably in the national cultural landscape, while reaching beyond borders.
