From 4 to 14 September 2025, Zurich will become a design hotspot. At over 40 locations, the festival will show how diverse and exciting design is today - from local to international, experimental to traditional.

The topic of the fourth Zurich Design Weeks is «Team Up». Switzerland's largest design event puts collaboration at the centre of attention - because without it, innovation in design would hardly be conceivable.

The key visual, designed by ALP Atelier Landolt Pfister, reinterprets the festival's iconic cube: it consists of many smaller cubes - a symbol that great things are only created through teamwork.

Why you should be there

What's on my list

The Newcomer format showcases five works by outstanding graduates from leading Swiss design universities. Fresh ideas, bold approaches - the future awaits. I shouldn't miss looking into this crystal ball.

Why do I want to go there? Because design can be experienced here as a living process. Last year's exhibition «Echoes» was already inspiring - the combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern design was impressive. «Trial and Error» promises the same: new impulses and fresh perspectives.

A festival for all design fans
