Bangkok Design Week 2026
Bangkok Design Week has officially announced its comeback date in 2026, scheduled to begin on January 29 and run until February 8.
For the 2026 edition, the festival will tackle the compelling new theme, “Design S/O/S.” This theme signifies the power of design art to help us survive—not just the universal code for asking for help that you might initially understand!
The host has broken down the meaning of the three letters:
- The first “S” (Secure Domestic) refers to the strategy of advocating for local design work and elevating it to international standards.
- The “O” (Outreach Opportunities) suggests design work that opens new avenues for local artists and connects them to global platforms.
- The final “S” (Sustainable Future) invites design enthusiasts to brainstorm and collaborate on finding innovative ways to navigate future challenges.
Bangkok Design Week 2026 will take over a total of eight major neighborhoods in the capital, including: Charoenkrung-Talad Noi, Phranakon, Pak Khlong Talat, Yaowarat, Bang Pho, Phrom Phong, Hua Lamphong, Bang Lamphu-Khaosan, and Phra Khanong-Bang Na. Even better, other new areas across the Thai capital will be added to the line-up this year for additional activities!
