2025 APPLICATION
This is an OPEN CALL for all designers reinventing a more sustainable future.
We are creating Design Week Tulum 2025 for the first time in Tulum, which will become an emblematic event of sustainable design worldwide.
In 2024 we are planting the seed and playing with depth, creativity, format, content and production. All invited guests are carefully selected and within our communities to keep the opening conversations deep and meaningful with aligned minds and open hearts to reinvent, redesign and act for a better future.
The theme of Design Week Tulum is WATER OF THE FUTURE. Water is a central area of focus in the area, as rapid development can and will impact the environment, the sensitive underground cenote system, lagoons, rivers and the ocean.
If we can create a water protection program for the area, we can build a new system for other areas to use as a model for all of us.
The main hub of DWT will be Casa Ki Design House, which is the exhibition space for all designers and the experience center for guests during the theme launch week in December.
This is an open call for artists, artisans, biomaterials designers and designers using raw materials to showcase their vision, story and work at Casa Ki Design House.
Submit your application before October 30, 2025 to be selected as a featured designer during Design Week Tulum 2025 event.
Your contribution could be: product presentation, talk, exhibition, installation, pop-up store, performance, workshop or demonstration.
