The European Design Festival starts tomorrow in Tallinn

 

The European Design Festival is a renowned event that brings together hundreds of designers from all over Europe and around the world. This year, the ED Festival will be held from June 17 to 19 at Kultuurikatel in Tallinn.

The program of the event is intended for all creative people as well as the general public. The three-day festival program consists of an international design conference “Beyond Design”, workshops, exhibitions, guided tours of designs, discussions, and the European Design Awards (ED-Awards).

This year’s ED Festival program has been produced by the Estonian Design Center. The program is available on the websites of both the Estonian Design Center and the European Design Awards.

This year, 50 works from Estonia entered the ED-Awards competition, which is a record number.

“In total, more than 1,400 entries were received for the ED-Awards 2022 competition from 34 countries, from Liechtenstein to Germany and from Iceland to Turkey. The official announcement of the winners will take place on June 18 at 7 pm at the ED-Awards 2022 awards ceremony at Kultuurikatel, Tallinn,” said Demetrios Fakinos, Director of the ED Festival.
