The main exhibition of the Festival will be ‘La línea sueña’, at the Teatro Fernán Gómez, curated by Javier Riera. An exploration between light and space that brings together 45 artists with 70 different pieces, with outstanding creators such as Davide Groppi, Michael Anastassiades, Marre Moerel, Jana Toothill, Draga & Aurel, Mayice, Studio Élémentaires, Héctor Serrano, Antoni Arola, We+ Amarist and Massimiliano Moro.

Through the initiative ‘Tejiendo Redes’ (Weaving Networks), the festival highlights and makes visible the importance of wool analyzing both its current situation and its future.

In collaboration with Amazon and within ‘Tejiendo Redes’ comes ‘Oro Blanco’, an exhibition that will vindicate the importance of wool and its contribution to the world of design through the eyes of designers Inés Sistiaga and Regina Dejiménez and in collaboration with the WoolDreamers project and its brand Wood4Life.

The MINI Design Award celebrates its fifth anniversary, which will be commemorated with a retrospective exhibition. From 12 to 23 February a new edition of Fiesta Design will be held; a place where people will experience design in an experiential and immersive way thanks to installations, pop-ups, workshops, meetings, talks and presentations.

Madrid, 12 December 2024. The new edition of Madrid Design Festival, the international design festival organized by La Fábrica, will once again turn the city into the sector’s major event during the month of February and until 15 March 2025. It will be a meeting point where design displays its transforming power, showing practices, initiatives and projects that reveal that design can be an essential tool for tackling the multiple challenges of a society in constant evolution. A discipline capable of anticipating, of being the starting point for any structural change and the answer to the most complex problems.

Through its extensive program, and under the slogan ‘Redesigning the world’, the festival publicizes creative agents, showing inspiring examples of creativity and responsibility towards the environment, society and the environment.

‘Design is much more than a sign of Madrid’s identity. It is part of its nature. Throughout these years, at Madrid Design Festival we have been committed to showcasing the best of international design, to vindicating the place of our city and our country on the map, and to projecting the richness of a unique creative ecosystem that is permanently redesigning, from multiple perspectives, a formidable city’, explained Álvaro Matías, director of Madrid Design Festival.

The next edition of 2025 will turn Madrid into the epicenter of connected design, with an extensive program that includes more than 200 events including exhibitions, activities, installations, conferences, space openings, open studios and showrooms. A meeting where design, in all its disciplines -graphic, digital, fashion, product, industrial, lighting, architecture and more- is presented as a driving force for change in industry, crafts, urban planning and services.
