Dropcity 2026

Dropcity presents a programme that brings together exhibition projects, research, and an extensive system of permanent laboratories dedicated to prototyping and manufacturing. More than ten facilities — ranging from ceramics and textile to woodworking, model making, and 3D production — will be open to the public during Design Week, making visible the tools, methods, and processes that usually remain internal to design practice.

Developed in collaboration with specialised technical partners, the laboratories form the operational core of Dropcity, defining it as a stable infrastructure for work and experimentation emerging from the interaction between research and laboratory practice.
