Perth Design Week 2025

Details

Perth Design Week (PDW) has quickly established itself as a leading platform for showcasing design excellence and thought-provoking discussions on issues shaping Western Australia and beyond since its launch in 2023.

Perth Design Week 2025 is a pivotal event for Perth’s creative community and beyond, offering a platform for innovative ideas and engaging with critical issues, such as sustainable design, emerging talent, and the role of design in social change.

Design is all around us—from the homes and suburbs we live in to the clothes we wear and the objects we use every day. Design shapes our lives in countless ways, say co-founders Sandy Anghie and David Smith.

Highlights:
Perth Design Week opening night celebration at the Western Australian Museum Boola Bardip with a runway show by Peter Farmer Designs and a panel conversation focusing on “what makes design from this place uniquely Western Australian?”
PDW’s inaugural “Western Australian Design Now” exhibition at Boola Bardip featuring recent and innovative work from 30 leading WA designers.
