Amman Design Week (Arabic: أسبوع عمّان للتصميم)[1] is a design biennale held in Amman, Jordan, co-founded in 2016 by Rana Beiruti and Abeer Seikaly through an initiative of Queen Rania Al Abdullah.[2] It serves as a platform for learning and exchange, highlighting the works of local and regional designers across various disciplines such as architectural installations, furniture, fashion, product, and graphic design.[3]

Editions

2016 Edition: Huna Al Tasmeem (This is Design)

In its inaugural year in 2016, under the theme "Huna Al Tasmeem", (English: This is Design; Arabic: هنا التصميم) Amman Design Week showcased the profound impact of design on everyday life and introduced design to Amman and vice versa.[3] The event featured the Hangar Exhibition and the Crafts District, each highlighting different facets of design's role in society. The Hangar Exhibition, curated by Jordanian architect Sahel Al Hiyari, displayed experimental works by new-generation designers, emphasising the integration of traditional craftsmanship with contemporary techniques.[3][4]

2017 Edition: Design Moves Life Moves Design
