A celebration of all areas of design, all types of designers, all industries, all across the North East.
North East England's Design Week
Design in Everything is about recognising, celebrating and investing in the power of design across the North East. Our vision is simple: design works here. We exist to make great design accessible for all, creating opportunities for designers, commissioners and the wider region, and helping the North East realise the full potential of design. Design is not an optional extra, but a vital force shaping better places, stronger businesses, richer culture and more inclusive communities.
Design in Everything connects across all types of design, creating space for collaboration. It champions the people, studios and ideas already making a difference, while opening up ways to meet, develop, win work and deliver meaningful impact. When design is embedded in everything we do, everyone benefits.
Design in Everything builds on the success of Tyne Design Week in 2025.
