EXHIBIT
as a Young Creative at Antwerp Design Week 2025

A fresh breeze is blowing through the design landscape, slowing down during Antwerp Design Week.

The essence of this design event is being a boutique event, bringing our best B2B customers to Antwerp for a slow design experience paired with great hospitality and the vibrant life of Antwerp. The focus is on quality, not quantity, ensuring that each interaction is valuable and impactful.

Young Creatives (YC) play an important role in Antwerp Design Week (ADW) by bringing fresh perspectives and new collections with different styles, materials, and approaches, ensuring ADW remains exciting and relevant to a broad audience.

We strive to build a community of qualitative design brands that engage in cross-pollination at every level. As an organization, we provide YC with a platform they might not easily access elsewhere, along with opportunities to network and collaborate within the design world. This support helps them grow and connect with others in the industry.

Our next edition spans Sunday to Thursday, 1-5 June 2025.

Several locations in the city will be available where young creatives can establish themselves with 3 to 4 other young creatives.

As ADW is a curated event, young creatives will need to fill in a request form to introduce themselves. We aim to attract young creatives who settle in 'mid- to high segment' areas.
