We Will Design is an extensive experimental lab that annually hosts and promotes projects from designers worldwide, including schools, universities, international institutions, and young students.

This ongoing journey includes residencies and international exchanges throughout the year, where design practices and experiences become tools for examining—and sometimes addressing—the many contradictions of our present. These projects come to life and meet the public at Design Week, offering a platform for fresh, innovative ideas.
