Tallinn Design Week 2020

The 15th Tallinn Design Festival (14 to 20 September 2020)
Design For Need

Design Night will take place this year from September 14 to 20. The main theme of the festival celebrating its 15th anniversary is Design for Need. Traditionally, the festival looks for its venue among little-known settlements. This time the center of the festival will be in the hangars of the former Põhjala rubber products factory on the Kopli Peninsula, adding value-based content to the emerging new cultural environment. 

At a time when a new product that could potentially pollute the planet could not be made, designers should focus primarily on objects and services that help solve a problem, a crisis; which would make our lives safer, more comfortable, and more enjoyable. For products that are functional and services that protect our health and help save valuable time. Design is too much associated only with aesthetics and glamor. Good form and beauty should definitely be an integral part of a well-functioning and smart products. But above all, the design and production of a product should be based on people's needs or social order.
