Brussels is set to become the epicenter of design innovation this September, with the 18th edition of Brussels Design September 2024. This year’s event will once again celebrate Belgian excellence in design, featuring limited-edition works that blend aesthetics and functionality. With a focus on addressing contemporary issues, the event calls for collaboration and creative solutions to the challenges cities face today.
The event will explore the intersection of art and design, showcasing how Belgian designers balance form and function in their unique creations. By pushing the boundaries of traditional techniques and materials, designers in Belgium continue to surprise and provoke thought through their bold experimentation. This year’s theme, “Art + Design,” brings attention to how creativity can transcend mere utility to become something that sparks reflection and interaction.

One of the highlights of the event is Renewal, a collaboration between Duplex Studio, MAD.brussels, and Reset, which will showcase how eco-design can drive a circular economy. Using sustainable and recycled materials, this initiative will inspire more responsible and lasting approaches to design.
Another key feature is the Commerce Design Brussels competition, which celebrates innovative retail spaces that redefine customer experiences. Visitors can also explore numerous exhibitions across the city, DIY workshops, and a showcase of vintage and contemporary design.
