Design Week Lagos (DWL) is not just a festival—it is a movement. As Africa’s premier design week, DWL is a citywide celebration of creativity and innovation that transforms Lagos into a living, breathing canvas of design excellence. Inspired by global models such as the Milan Design Week and London Design Festival, DWL activates the entire city—from showrooms and schools to galleries and restaurants—with a dynamic programme of exhibitions, talks, tours, installations, and product launches.

Founded to champion African design, DWL serves as a critical platform that supports regional creatives, promotes local industries, and positions Lagos as a global design capital. It unites architects, interior designers, product designers, innovators, and thought leaders across disciplines to engage, inspire, and build an inclusive design future.

DWL not only highlights the richness of Africa’s cultural heritage, but also fosters forward-thinking innovation, driving design-led economic growth and industry transformation across the continent.
