Kenmare will host the inaugural Design Kenmare Festival, celebrating creativity and design across disciplines — from architecture and interiors to fashion, graphics, photography and product design. The focus will be 'Experiencing Design Differently'.
Taking place over three days, from November 14th – 16th, as an official curtain raiser to Irish Design Week, the festival will feature a world-class line-up of Irish and international designers, architects, photographers and creative thinkers in an intimate programme of talks, panels and special events.
Design Kenmare brings together leading voices from the global design community alongside Ireland’s most accomplished practitioners.
Across 12 keynote panels and discussions, speakers will explore themes such as:
• The harmony of form and function in contemporary design
• Storytelling and narrative in visual practice
• Cultural heritage and what makes design timeless
• Collaboration, retail experience, and the evolving marketplace
