3 Weeks of Design returns this July with the theme ‘The Culture of Objects’. From July 5–26, 2025, Gallery Medium transforms into a space for imagination and dialogue, where objects go beyond function to tell stories—shaped by memory, culture, and the designer’s lens.

This year gathers 44 emerging designers and 15 ceramic artists, alongside local furniture brands and international names. From industrial design to material experiments, the program celebrates Vietnam’s evolving design language.

For the first time, an international design competition joins the event. Centered on the humble object - “Hook,” it attracted 200+ submissions, from professional designers to self-taught creatives.From these, 44 finalists were selected — not only professional designers but also independent artists and self-taught creatives. These works will be exhibited throughout the three-week event at Gallery Medium. Awards will be presented in five categories: Best Design, Best Concept, Best Fabrication, Best Sustainable Practice, and People’s Favourite, all voted by the public. Results will be announced at the closing ceremony on July 26, 2025.

Running parallel is a ceramic showcase, highlighting the expressive power of clay, and a furniture exhibition featuring Vietnamese brands such as Oho Studios, NOM, Laita, Exutoire in dialogue with icons like Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Gio Ponti and Frank Lloyd Wright, thanks to a partnership with Eurasia Concept.

Beyond exhibitions, 3 Weeks of Design 2025 is a space of connection and dialogue. A series of Design Talks and special sessions will be held throughout the event, fostering multi-perspective discussions led by experts, researchers, and practitioners from various disciplines.
