Design Nation accelerates international growth with new editions in Paris and Germany 

Design Nation confirms its international position as a leading B2B platform for design professionals, with a strong presence in four prime European locations. What started in 2023 as a completely new concept in Kortrijk is today evolving into a cross-border meeting place for design professionals and decision-makers from the project and contract segment, with a strongly growing presence of top international brands. 

The concept remains unchanged each time: a serene and unique setting with a strong focus on high-end design innovations, latest collections, and emerging trends. Visitors get the opportunity to discover forward-thinking objects, furniture, and design that will define the future of the sector, further enhanced by talks and collaborations with key industry players.

Design Nation therefore acts as a catalyst for innovation, inspiration and knowledge sharing in every location. 

Curated selection of design objects with a strong focus on the contract and project market

Design Nation positions itself as a showcase for high-end design and furniture brands targeting project-based applications. From office environments and hospitality concepts to healthcare infrastructure and public spaces – the offering seamlessly aligns with the needs of the contemporary design professional.

For the upcoming editions in Kortrijk, Düsseldorf and Paris, numerous international high-end brands will be present, making a difference within this project context. From established names to progressive players, including Kewlox, Vitra, Pastoe, Polywave, MDF Italia, USM, Ondaretta, Gessi, DCW Editions and Bomma. Together, they represent a broad offering, ranging from indoor and outdoor furniture to kitchen and bathroom solutions, lighting, textiles and decorative objects.

The power of the concept remains the same everywhere: a serene, neutral setting where design is central and collections are displayed without visual clutter. Only products with a pronounced innovative character are admitted, judged by a jury of design professionals.

Thanks to the plug-and-play formula, exhibitors can fully concentrate on their presentation, while visitors – from interior designers to facility managers – are offered a clear and high-quality overall experience.

International growth at iconic design locations

The international ambition translates into a strong presence at four high-end locations, each with a distinct reputation within the creative sector:

• Kortrijk Xpo (België) – de solide basis waar het concept zich ontwikkelde en jarenlang de thuisbasis
  van de toonaangevende Biënnale Interieur.
• Areal Böhler, Düsseldorf (Duitsland) – een iconische site, bekend van Art Düsseldorf en geroemd om
  zijn industriële, high-end uitstraling.
• La Grande Halle de La Villette, Parijs (Frankrijk) – een toonaangevende hub voor interieurarchitecten en designers in een van de meest dynamische creatieve wijken van de stad.
• Station Berlin (DE) – een gevestigde waarde binnen de internationale design- en eventscene.

By choosing locations with international appeal and a strong network within architecture and design, Design Nation strengthens its position as a cross-border platform.
