About the festival

Gdynia Design Days is a festival about finding solutions to current challenges through design. It culminates in events and exhibitions held during the summer, but we are active in the field of design all year round, including organizing meetings, discussions, lectures, and exhibitions.

At Gdynia Design Days, we believe that design is a tool for change, allowing us to create solutions that are good for people and the planet. Design is not elitist, it is for everyone, democratic. That's why we want to include as many people as possible from different backgrounds in the design processes and discussions about them. We show both bold projects from the area of speculative design, as well as real solutions and processes, proving that design concerns each of us. We want to build individual responsibility and social solidarity, and we focus on locality in our activities.

As the Gdynia Design Days team, we are not afraid of self-reflection and change. The values we talk about during the festival, we try to implement in our daily work. We are constantly learning, making mistakes and learning from them. We want everyone to feel comfortable and invited to build together the reality we live in during Gdynia Design Days.

theme of next year's festival soon!

We believe that design can be an instrument of change. We want to inspire business, designers and our audiences to act, using design as a tool for efficient and sustainable growth. We are convinced that an open mind and a mindful approach may lead us to new solutions, which are so desperately needed today.
