About the Festival
A Platform for Design, Industry & Culture
Design Week Lagos (DWL) is Africa’s leading annual design festival, established to celebrate creativity, innovation, and design-led manufacturing.
Operating at the intersection of culture, industry, and economic development, the festival positions design as a strategic tool for national and continental progress.
Each year, Lagos becomes a living platform for exhibitions, talks, workshops, installations, trade showcases, and partner-led activations — connecting creative practice with manufacturing, commerce, education, and policy.
