ddp design fair

The passionate and playful collaboration between makers and designers has resulted in the creation of new, one-of-a-kind design products that will make many people's lives richer and more beautiful.

The DDP Design Fair, now in its fourth year, introduced products and lifestyles that makers and designers have been preparing and developing since early spring under the theme of
“Beautiful Life”.

In particular, the DDP Design Fair, which was held at DDP Art Hall 2 for 10 days from October 18-29 during Seoul Design 2022, welcomed visitors to the Collaboration Hall, where 120 outstanding teams of makers and designers were launched, and the Launchpad Hall, where 21 companies and 69 brands launched new design products.

The results of passionate and playful collaborations between makers and designers

The Collaboration Pavilion, which adds practicality and aesthetics through the collaboration of makers and designers, showcased 120 outstanding makers and designer teams. In line with the theme of the 2022 DDP Design Fair, "Beautiful Life," we were able to see products made for a beautiful life that coexists between people and the environment, such as "Square Candle" (Drawing Candle, Minwoo Jeon), a flame-resistant package that transforms into a candlestick, and "Erosion Project" (Yuxa Studio, COCS), a bath mat from natural materials that resembles natural objects.

Suggesting a new lifestyle with a touch of fun, Launchpad Hall introduces K-design through new product launches with quirky ideas and global sensibilities. “Design for all” - A space where you can quickly and stylishly meet various design products that present a beautiful life for everyone, the Launchpad Hall features 19 design studios, the Seoul Design Startup Center, and the 2022 Young Designer DDP brand, each with their own story to tell.
