On October 10th, Design Week Mexico 2023 opened its doors, inviting us to dive into a world filled with creativity, innovation, inspiration, passion, and cutting-edge design proposals. This year marked the 15th anniversary of achievements related to the positive impact that design has on our daily lives.
To celebrate this significant milestone, the event featured programs such as Expo Diseño Francés, Visión y Tradición, Design House, Dealers de Diseño, Inédito, Diseño Contenido, Tours de Diseño, and Parcours Francés. In this article, I’ll share some of the most remarkable experiences from this edition.

A Glimpse into Futuristic Trends
Since its inception, DWM has brought together key players in the world of design to showcase and disseminate fresh ideas, new talents, and trends, creating collaborative communities in a robust sector that plays an increasingly relevant role worldwide, positioning Mexico as a leading force on the international design scene.
Sustainability has taken center stage, and for Design Week Mexico, it was no exception. In each exhibition, we have seen various professionals integrating eco-friendly practices into their creations, from the use of recycled materials to techniques with low environmental impact. All of this is done without compromising aesthetics but as a response to the current environmental challenges.
Immersive Experiences
The world continually shows us the need to engage all our senses in daily practices, seeking to experience art and design in ways that challenge traditional expectations. Design Week proposed interactive installations that serve as inspiration to be creatively and functionally applied in any environment or space.
Regarding the series of conferences and talks, we had the opportunity to listen to renowned designers as well as emerging talents. They discussed the challenges and opportunities in the world of design and how they have leveraged these to create innovative projects.
