Creative & Design festival aims at sharing visions and achievements that revitalize the potentials of Bangkok
Bangkok Design Week (BKKDW) proposes the prominence of Bangkok’s design and creative works. Through these works, the festival presents ambitious ideas and new possibilities of Bangkok, now and in the future.
Celebrated in the creative districts, these creative works range from experimental pieces to the works with social and business impacts. With fun activities and memorable experiences, the festival is blended beautifully with the charm of Bangkok and attracts visitors from across the world to experience Bangkok’s latest happening.
BKKDW has long been a fixture on the Bangkok event calendar: it contributes to the growth of the creative industries and propels Bangkok to stand out as a UNESCO Creative City Network, Bangkok City of Design. The event is organized by Creative Economy Agency (Public Organization) or CEA, in collaboration with over 60 state agencies, public organizations, academia, and international institutions, as well as 2,000 designers and creative businesses, which draws an estimated number of 400,000 visitors at home and abroad.
With over 1,750,000 visitors and a total economic value of up to 1,368,000,000 baht generated in 5 times of the festival, BKKDW has been presenting new possibilities and significant potential of creators, entrepreneurs, public and private sectors, educational institutes, as well as various cooperation agencies, both domestic and international.
BKKDW is a growth engine for Thailand’s creative industries in a variety of ways, including showcasing creative businesses and designs, stimulating competitiveness, providing a local and international business networking opportunity, and generating economic momentum for downstream businesses such as marketing, printing, online media, galleries, cafes, restaurants, gifts & souvenirs, travel, hotels, and public transportation.

DESIGN TO LAST
Ever evolving, Everlasting
“All things in this world are all impermanent”—we all know it as fact. Yet, never has it felt more palpable than it does today.
Unexpected events catch us off guard, old formulas cease to serve us, businesses built over decades fall within months. Faced with constant uncertainty, we slip into survival mode—chasing trend after trend, solving one urgent problem at a time just to barely get by, only to end up exhausted, unsure where we are headed.
So we invite everyone to step beyond survival and look further ahead. How might we design our lives, careers, businesses, and the cities we live in to endure the test of time? How can we remain resilient through years of future crises without relying on daily fixes?
Marking its 10th anniversary, Bangkok Design Week 2027 (BKKDW2027) not only celebrates a decade-long journey but also marks a turning point, setting the course for the next decade of design. Under the theme “DESIGN TO LAST: Ever Evolving, Everlasting,” the festival champions the idea that things lasting long are not those clinging to past success nor to those adapting merely for short-term survival; instead, they are things designed to remain flexible—ready to branch out, build upon, and “evolve” with changing contexts while never losing sight of its core value.
Come evolve together. Discover the thinking behind timeless design, enduring businesses, and ideas that continue to grow because they are designed to change. Open yourself to fresh perspectives on meaningful design that reaches far beyond the present, while exploring fluid, cross-disciplinary ways of thinking and creating. Only then does design reveal its greatest strength: transforming limitations into possibilities, carrying us further, and making us stronger with every transformation.
BKKDW2027 returns for its 10th edition from February 18-28, 2027 across creative districts throughout Bangkok. Welcoming future-ready ideas that embrace change rather than resist it, the festival creates opportunities for creators, businesses, and communities of every generation and industry to connect, collaborate, and step confidently onto the global stage—driving Thai creativity to go further and last longer.
To live long, things must ever evolve; so must design, to ever last.
