Downtown Design Riyadh returns for its second edition in February 2026
The fair will once again take place at JAX District – a cultural hub set amidst the historic surroundings of Diriyah
Design lovers and enthusiasts, Downtown Design Riyadh will return to JAX District for its second edition. Following a successful debut last May, the fair is scheduled to take place from Tuesday February 3 to Friday February 6, 2026.
As Saudi Arabia’s first high-quality design fair, Downtown Design Riyadh – organised in partnership with the Saudi Architecture and Design Commission of the Ministry of Culture – assembles leading international design brands and regional experts for a four-day event. It will also highlight Saudi creative talent, supporting the Kingdom’s growing design scene.

The fair will showcase original, high-quality design and limited-edition works from both international and regional studios.
Not much has been announced about its 2026 programme.
However, we expect the second edition to keep the fair’s format of showcasing some of the most renowned and established names alongside innovative design studios and artisans, providing visitors with a diverse and inspiring selection of design from around the world. Look forward to a curated exhibition of original brands, collectable works, and cutting-edge installations.
Last year, exhibitors ranged from established brands like Natuzzi and Iwan Maktabi to emerging local studios and internationally renowned platforms, including Collectional, Cosentino, and Maison Louis Drucker.
Downtown Design Riyadh will also feature talks and panel discussions at The Forum, which hosts a series of live presentations, active discussions, and industry masterclasses with regional and international thought leaders, promoting interaction and dialogue.
A customised lineup of creative installations, pop-up features, and bespoke concepts will be showcased throughout the fair, ranging from special commissions and cultural pop-up exhibitions to country-specific initiatives that collectively promote their local design industries across the Middle East.
We can’t wait. Stay tuned for further updates.
