Dundee Design Festival 2021

Dundee Design Festival 2021 took place from 23 September – 3 October across four physical locations and online.

Produced by returning Design Studio, Agency of None, the theme for Dundee Design Festival 2021 was Every Where Design, exploring the hidden and unusual design that exists all around us. The festival was centred around five ‘Design Houses’ which were each created in collaboration with local communities and organisations to profile the value of design within our everyday lives.

The locations of the Design Houses were Hilltown Park situated in the neighbourhood of Hilltown to the north of the city-centre, a retail unit in the main shopping area of Stobswell, a former pump station in Finlathen Park, the waterfront plaza surrounding V&A Dundee, and a Digital Design House online for audiences anywhere in the world to experience.

From Saturday 18th December 2021 – Sunday 16th January 2022, you can visit Every Where Design at V&A Dundee’s Weston Studio.

Pick up a waterfront design trail or family-friendly activity sheet, take a seat in the studio and enjoy some of the videos created for this year’s festival, which explore the surprising and interesting ways design exists in our everyday lives.
