OSAKA DESIGN WEEK

What is OSAKA DESIGN WEEK?

Following the Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025, Osaka is entering a new phase as a creative city. In 2026, as the city marks 160 years since the opening of the Port of Osaka and 45 years of sister city ties with Milan, OSAKA DESIGN WEEK will explore lifestyle-driven design across architecture, products, food, and beyond. In collaboration with the cities of Osaka and Milan, the entire city will become a stage for a week of exhibitions and programs inspired by the spirit of Milan Design Week. At the intersection of business and culture, we aim to connect Japanese and Italian creativity and help shape the next generation of business.
