GDYNIA DESIGN DAYS - stability

16th edition of the Festival - July 1-9, 2023

About the festival idea

Gdynia Design Days (GDD) is a Baltic design festival. Each edition of GDD serves as a pretext to discuss topics related to broadly-understood design in the context of changes taking place around us. The exhibitions, workshops, lectures and debates we offer concern topical subjects in the field of technology, process design, ecology, design, fashion, architecture, urban development and craft. Through what we do, we connect the design world with the world of business. Gdynia Design Days is an event addressed to professionals and to everyone who is fascinated by design and interested in finding out more about the changes taking place in dynamically developing societies.

STABILITY - the slogan of this year's GDD

For a long time, we have been told to be ready for constant, sudden change – an inherent part of the contemporary world. Recent years have shown us that nothing is certain. We need stability to plan our actions and gain a sense of comfort. During Gdynia Design Days 2023, we want to do just that and look for stability in our unstable world.

Festival program

Exhibitions, lectures, creative workshops, meetings and more

The main idea is that stability is a desirable and achievable goal in a world of constant and sudden change. Different aspects of stability:

Stability in the climate crisis, which requires balancing our economies and going circular.
Stability in our personal lives, which requires letting go of our possessions and finding a point of balance.
Stability in our mental health, which requires breathing and learning to let go.
Stability in the virtual world, which requires facing the inconvenient truths and not escaping from reality.

Design can be an instrument of change and a tool for efficient and sustainable growth. Join the festival and look for stability in our unstable world. Free entry.
