Discover Points form the heart of the Design Lover Walk and the event program during Antwerp Design Week. These locations serve as key destinations for both B2C design lovers and B2B professionals, offering a curated map and agenda highlighting the must-visit design hotspots.

 

At these points, visitors can:

1) Explore innovative design brands, creative exhibitions, and installations.

2) Connect with the stories behind the designs and the brands.

3) Attend open event

4) Purchase one-of-a-kind design pieces.

 

The Discover Points showcase:

1) Design showcases and brand stories by premium brands.

2) YC Hubs, where emerging designers collaborate

3) Unique installations, bringing bold creativity to the forefront.

Design lovers make up our B2C audience, and we aim to connect with them through a variety of channels—including partnerships with the City of Antwerp, Flanders DC, and others—alongside our own database and the networks of our participants..

 

Design lovers are warmly welcomed in District Downtown, where they can explore the Discover Points on the Design Lover Walk. This walk gives an opportunity to connect with the brands behind the designs, and even have the opportunity to purchase a unique piece from a collection and attend events hosted at various locations.

The Businesspoints are specifically designed for B2B-visitors to facilitate networking, foster new supplier connections, and provide a platform for business-oriented interactions. These locations also host events tailored exclusively for B2B visitors.

 

The Business Points showcase:

1) premium brands in temporary showrooms

2) young creatives in YC HUBS

Professionals form the core of our B2B audience. We actively engage them through our extensive database of approximately 50,000 email contacts and encourage our participants to invite their own B2B clients, ensuring a broad and impactful reach.

 

Professionals are invited to explore both the Businesspoints and Discoverpoints.
