DCCI Irish Design Week 2025 will be held from 17th to 21st November and is themed ‘Bonds that bind and links that connect’.
This year’s program looks back at the past, present and future of Irish design and challenges us to collaborate, connect and shape what comes next.
Alongside events across Ireland, the Royal Academy of Music of Ireland is running a five-part keynote series, featuring leading voices from architecture, fashion, sound, storytelling and systems design, with each keynote offering a unique perspective on how design connects people, ideas and possibilities.
