Every two years, the World Design Organization awards the title of World Design Capital to a city or region. In 2026, Frankfurt RheinMain will become an international stage for design. Together with the region, we will realize pioneering projects and numerous events that show what design can achieve - for society and democracy, for our coexistence and our everyday lives.
Over the course of the year, the program focuses on various topics. They take up questions from everyday life, give the program a lively structure and make the different facets of design tangible.
