Design Nation Düsseldorf 2026 - The premium B2B event for project and contract design descends on the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia

After a successful premiere in Berlin and rave reviews from exhibitors and visitors alike, Design Nation is further expanding its international network. On 25 and 26 November 2026, the iconic Schmiedehalle at the Areal Böhler will become the meeting place for design professionals looking to discover the latest innovations in project and contract design. The focus will be on the key sectors of healthcare, workspace & hospitality .

Why Düsseldorf?

North Rhine-Westphalia is one of Europe's economically strongest regions and a major hub for interior and design professionals. Thanks to the high concentration of interior designers, property developers and furniture brands, Düsseldorf is the ideal location for Design Nation - the brand new B2B event, which sets the tone for the future of the sector.

What makes Design Nation unique?

• A premium format for professionals
  Design Nation is aimed exclusively at a high-quality trade audience. Participation is by invitation only, which guarantees relevant contacts and quality conversations.
• Curated brand portfolio & innovation
  International brands present their latest developments in furniture, material and product design. The selection is carefully compiled with attention to quality, functionality and creative vision.
• Minimalist and elegant scenography
  The sober and thoughtful scenography creates a neutral but powerful setting in which products and concepts take centre stage.
• Efficient all-in concept
  Thanks to a clear plug-and-play concept, Design Nation offers budget transparency and logistical simplicity. This allows brands to focus on the essentials: their presentation and networking in a professional environment.
