Auckland Design Week 2026 has officially launched. From 2–10 March, the week-long celebration will centre on Shed 10 — the newly appointed Design Depot — with a rich programme of exhibitions, workshops, and the flagship Design Conference. This year’s theme, People + Place, explores the dynamic relationship between individuals, communities, and the environments we shape and share. With Lexus returning as Presenting Partner, and global voices such as Briar Hickling - co-founder of Linehouse (Shanghai, Hong Kong & Auckland) - and former Global Creative Director for Nike Running, Vincent Lowe, confirmed to speak, ADW 2026 promises to be its most compelling edition yet. Early bird tickets are on sale now.
