ZLIN
DESIGN
WEEK
6.—12. 5. 2026
LOVE
Zlin Design Week, a weeklong design festival where everyone can find inspiration. We create a platform for young designers and professionals to meet, present, express themselves, share, and make unexpected connections. We support young talent and bring a breath of fresh air to the field of design.
What do we look like?
Zlin
Design inherently belongs to Zlin. Design influences the life of every citizen, often unnoticed. We will give it a space to shine and to be understood by people, to be appreciated and to inspire.
LOVE
The 12th edition of the festival focuses on the values of design and designers themselves. Love as the foundation of our relationship with others, our work, and ourselves. Through the programme, we open topics exploring how to set boundaries, where to find the courage to persist, how to work within communities, and how to create design that makes sense and helps others.
A week of experiences
Zlín will come alive with design day and night. Exhibitions, cultural experiences, installations in modules, lectures, workshops, fashion shows, excursions and unbeatable parties. The atmosphere cannot be described, you have to experience it!

What do they say about us?
“The event, connected to Tomáš Bata University, regularly presents the best of the local design scene. During the accompanying programme, you have the chance to listen to the visions of international leaders in the field, which have often not been seen in Prague before. No wonder. The event is produced at an excellent level.”

“The city of Zlín was originally built on a vision of inclusion, social belonging and sustainability and has been a great inspiration for us. We can’t stop talking about how much of an inspiration Zlin Design Week was for us participants, the students involved, the speakers and the exhibitors from Norway. We are convinced that Zlin Design Week is unique and deserves national recognition and support.”

“Design Week can open your eyes. How interesting design is all around us. What all falls into that box. How advanced design is all over the Czech Republic. And that a student event can be professional and well done.”
