Pre-Registration Now Open
At COEX from December 20
The ‘Seoul Design Festival 2023,’ now in its 22nd year, will be held over four days from December 20 to 23 in Hall C of COEX in Samseong-dong.
The Seoul Design Festival is a specialized design exhibition that first opened in 2002, built on the content of the monthly <Design> magazine, accumulated since 1976, and on its network across the domestic and international design fields. Under the motto of designer promotion, the festival is organized to showcase domestic and international design trends together with designers, design brands, and companies, and to strengthen Korea’s design competitiveness. It is a venue where designers’ ideas can become brands and be recognized as businesses, and where those possibilities are confirmed. This exhibition gathers this year’s key issues in the design industry to present a rich array of content, once again firmly establishing itself as a leading design exhibition at the forefront of Korea’s design industry.
This exhibition is composed of the following: ▲‘Young Designer Promotion,’ a self-branding exhibition featuring the 40 next-generation designers of the year selected by the monthly <Design> magazine and the Seoul Design Festival; ▲‘Communication Design,’ consisting of design brands that convey messages through visual content such as print, video, and new media; ▲‘Product Design,’ where visitors can view and directly experience design products across a wide range of categories including stationery, toys, household goods, and fashion; and ▲‘ESG Design,’ featuring leading Korean companies that operate their businesses while participating in solving Environmental, Social, and Governance issues.
