What is Antwerp Design Week?
Antwerp Design Week is a collaboration of reputable brands that welcome B2B guests in their own showrooms in their HQs, pop-ups or flagship stores to celebrate quality Belgian design. It showcases Antwerp as the global design capital that it is.
What is unique about this?
ADW is the solution to the growing demand for highlighting Belgian design, offering a complete experience to the B2B community:
-
Convenience of many brands together - one visit and one trip to discover a lot of new brands in their own Headquarters is the perfect way to save time.
-
Personal guidance in the showrooms gives a feeling of trust.
-
A wonderful way to get to know Antwerp: the hidden gem of Europe.
Antwerp is the place to be when it comes to design, architecture, food, art and culture. This is what we want to present to our guests during these six days.
Why does this event take place at several locations?
To give the visitor the full experience of discovering Belgian design, we find it more than necessary to invite buyers, architects and design professionals to the heart of the brands themselves, to their headquarters or shops. This is what makes this event unique.
How do I plan my tour?
Antwerp Design Week is an event where you move in and around Antwerp to visit companies in their own Headquarters, pop-ups or flagship stores. We recommend planning district by district, travelling by car, district shuttles, taxis, or Uber.
Find more information about the districts and driving time between showrooms on the district page.
How to book my showrooms?
Exhibitions are open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Since ADW is a B2B event, registration is required to gain access to the various locations you want to visit. After registration, you will recieve a personal QR code that you can use at the entrance of the different showrooms.
