Brera Design District 2026


17th edition of Design Week in the most important design promotion district on an international scale.

Brera Design District presents the 17th edition of Brera Design Week, which this year revolves around the theme "Essere Progetto".
An invitation to look at design not only as a formal result or final product, but as a cultural process, attitude and responsibility in building relationships between people, places and communities.
In this context, Brera takes the form of a widespread urban laboratory, where design, creativity and business interact on a daily basis, transforming the neighbourhood into an open space for experimentation and research. During design week, showrooms, companies, designers and cultural institutions interpret the theme through installations, exhibitions and events, giving life to a widespread programme that reinforces Brera's role as one of the main reference points of Fuorisalone.
Brera Design Week returns with the professionals and brands already present in the area: 217 permanent showrooms, including 9 new openings. As every year, these are joined by investors, sponsors and temporary exhibitors - over 190 already confirmed - who enrich the programme, bringing the total number of initiatives to over 300.

Among the new features of the 2026 edition is Fuorisalone Passport, the new digital platform promoted by Fuorisalone and developed by Studiolabo to simplify access to Design Week events. Through a single registration, visitors will be able to obtain a personal QR Code to use to access a selection of events, avoiding the need to fill out different registration forms each time. The service will be active for access to a selection of Brera Design Week events, with the aim of making the visitor experience for the next edition more fluid and encouraging interaction between the public, brands and spaces in the district.
