Design Odyssey
Chiang Mai

Prepare for seven days of eye-opening creativity as Chiang Mai Design Week (CMDW) lights up the Old Town in December. This year’s event transforms the city’s charming streets into a buzzing design playground, where local and foreign talents gather to showcase cutting-edge design, architecture, fashion and interior design. Setting this festival apart is its unique fusion of contemporary flair and traditional Lanna culture. Witness artisans seamlessly blending age-old techniques with modern aesthetics, offering a fresh perspective on heritage. Engage with designers through interactive workshops and thought-provoking talks that offer valuable insights into the creative process. Visitors can also explore the event’s vibrant markets and pop-up shops, filled with handcrafted items and innovative products. CMDW is more than just exhibitions, it’s an invitation to discover Chiang Mai’s neighbourhoods and immerse yourself in the city’s rich cultural heritage.

From December 7 to 15.
