Together we can design a better future.
Driving zero emissions through innovation, technology, and behavior change.
Reimagining materials, re-using waste and creating a fair, circular economy.
Regenerating places by reviving biodiversity and building skills for people to care for their community and environment.
For the first time in over 50 years, the World Design Congress is coming back to London.
London hosted the sixth edition in 1969 at the Southbank Centre. It was attended by almost 1,000 participants from 39 countries and welcomed special guest of honour H.R.H. Princess Margaret. To celebrate, the Design Council's Design Centre in Haymarket London held an exhibition titled "Design '69" to showcase the best examples in design from 22 countries.
In 2025, we will be hosting the event at the iconic Barbican Centre, recognised worldwide for its brutalist architectural style and commitment to sustainable design.
