The popular Design Diplomacy programme returns this year for its tenth edition, taking place from 2–4 September. ⭐️

Once again, it opens the doors to ambassadors’ residences — remarkable spaces that are rarely accessible to the public.
Design Diplomacy is built around the idea of open dialogue. Designers from different countries meet as equals, sharing their experiences, perspectives, and ideas in an informal conversation guided by a card game created specifically for the event. 🪀

🪄To mark this anniversary year, the programme will feature an especially engaging lineup of guests and conversations.
