Design Season Cologne is about to begin.
From October 26–31, 2026, Design Season Cologne celebrates its first edition, bringing a new international design festival to Cologne.
With over 140 participating brands, 32 exhibitions across 23 locations and seven Design Districts, the festival presents a diverse programme that brings contemporary design to life across the city.
From international design brands and established showrooms to independent studios, emerging talents, curated exhibitions, installations and new creative formats, the first Design Season Cologne reflects the diversity of a city entering a new chapter as an international design destination.
Taking place alongside ORGATEC and in connection with idd cologne, the festival turns Cologne into a meeting point for designers, architects, brands, creatives and everyone passionate about design.
This is just the beginning.
The first Design Season Cologne marks the start of a new chapter for Cologne as an international design city. We look forward to celebrating this moment together with you.
See you in Cologne!
