On September 16-25, Tallinn is overtaken by the innovative design, when design festival “Design Night” is taking place already for the sixth time in Estonian capital. This year’s festival bears the title “People’s needs as the catalyst for change”.

The Design Night 2011 takes place in the framework of the European innovation festival IF and focuses on intangible design. This high-calibre design festival serves as a demonstration of the nature of design and an introduction to the work of Estonian designers.

Discussions will centre on social engagement, while conferences will introduce innovation achievements and service design. "Tallinn For All" workshops will involve groups of people with special needs. An exhibition on the history of Estonian design and innovation, Pecha Kucha,
a design auction, competitions, exciting events in city galleries and grand weekend fashion shows will be magnets for everyone interested in design.
