Design Decade Summit by Warsaw Home
10 years of design. Many visions for the future.

Design Decade Summit by Warsaw Home is a special anniversary event created to celebrate the 10th edition of Warsaw Home. It will bring together architects, interior designers, design studios, premium brands, media representatives and key leaders of the interiors and design industry.

The Summit will be a space for conversation about how interiors, architecture, design and the home furnishings market have changed over the past decade — and, most importantly, about how we will design the future. 

Today, design is no longer only about aesthetics. It shapes the way we live, work, rest, build brands, create experiences and develop business. That is why Design Decade Summit will present design as a multidimensional force connecting creativity, technology, responsibility, business, media and lifestyle. 


What will we talk about? 

 The programme is divided into three thematic days, taking participants from a reflection on the past decade, through current market challenges, to the future of design.


Why attend?

Design Decade Summit is not a typical interiors conference. It is a meeting point for those who want to understand where the industry is heading and which trends will shape the way we design spaces in the years to come.

Participants will gain access to inspiring talks, expert perspectives, current market insights and networking opportunities with representatives of architecture, design, premium brands, media and business. It is a space for everyone who sees design not only as aesthetics, but as a tool for creating value, experiences and the future.

Day 1: Design Leaders Day

The opening day will focus on the people, studios and ideas that have shaped the Polish design scene over the last 10 years. The discussions will explore changes in the interiors market, the development of Polish brands and designers, the role of design studios and the question of whether Polish design has its own recognizable language on the international stage.

Key topics:  

  • 10 years of change in Polish interiors, 
  • Polish design on the international market, 
  • design studios as creators of a new lifestyle, 
  • the designer as a brand and the product as a statement.

Keynote: A Culture-Driven Brand: The Evolution from Production to Experience

“How to Survive in an Economy of Rising Costs by Building a Brand Rooted in Culture” – the presentation explores the shift away from low-cost production and price-based competition towards building a strong and distinctive brand identity. It introduces the Culture-Driven Brand strategy, in which a brand becomes an active creator and participant in culture. The presentation demonstrates how involving artists and designers can give a product a compelling story, meaningful values and emotional depth, transforming it into an object of narrative and experience.

  • how we will live in the next decade, 
  • wellbeing, light, acoustics and emotional design,

Keynote: Props in the Theatre of Everyday Life

The lecture takes the audience through a slightly surreal world of conceptual design, from which emerges a story - at times unsettling, at times ironic-about people and their relationship with objects. The cube becomes both the beginning and the end of a narrative about everyday functional objects: companions that can be viewed as props in the theatre of constantly unfolding scenes.

The programme will focus on technology, AI, ESG, circular design, media, social media and the changing role of architects and designers. It will ask who — and what — will shape tastes, needs and directions in design over the next decade.

Key topics:  

  • what will design the next decade, 
  • AI, ESG and circular design in creative work, 
  • material responsibility and designing “less, but better”, 
  • the role of media and the internet in popularizing design, 
  • a manifesto for the next decade of design.

POLAND AS A GROWING TEXTILE HUB IN EUROPE

CONFERENCE: "POLAND AS A GROWING TEXTILE HUB IN EUROPE"

During Warsaw Home Textile 2026

Heritage, innovation, and international cooperation are shaping a new future for the textile industry, in which Poland is playing an increasingly important role as a European business hub.

For centuries, textiles have served as a bridge between cultures, economies, and generations. Today, they are defining the direction of the future by bringing together design, advanced technologies, sustainable solutions, industry, and international economic cooperation.

Warsaw Home Textile 2026 will become a unique platform for dialogue between representatives of diplomacy, business, industry, design, and institutions supporting economic development. The conference, "Poland as a Growing Textile Hub in Europe," will bring together experts, industry leaders, and representatives of international markets, creating an environment for discussions on the future of the textile sector, new investments, international partnerships, and the global expansion of Polish companies.

From the centuries-old weaving traditions of Asia—China's silk, Persian carpets, Anatolian kilims, and the unique textile craftsmanship of Uzbekistan and Indonesia—to Europe's leading fashion and design centers, the history of textiles demonstrates that the greatest ideas emerge where cultures, experience, and diverse perspectives come together.

Thanks to its strategic location, strong manufacturing capabilities, creativity, and growing importance within European supply chains, Poland continues to strengthen its position as one of the key destinations on Europe's textile map.

We invite you to PTAK WARSAW EXPO in Nadarzyn—a meeting place for ambassadors, business leaders, and the visionaries shaping the future of the textile industry.

Warsaw Home Textile 2026 is an event that brings together tradition, innovation, and global opportunities for collaboration.
