This year, Kyiv Design Week takes place for the first time and is held under the slogan "Kyiv: City of Changes". Due to the Russian aggression against Ukraine, many Ukrainian designers are forced to work far from their home. The city of Zurich provided support and a platform for our designers.

Kyiv Design Week takes place simultaneously at different locations in Zurich and Kyiv and presents graphic, subject, industrial and collectible design, cyber fashion, art and various crafts. For three weeks, the Swiss have the opportunity to immerse themselves in modern Ukrainian design in all its manifestations.

Today, Galerie Thomas Kurer presents Ukrainian brands UFEG, watch company ZAVOD, Donna Factory, Solomia RCS, Save Kyiv Modernism+Aspichi, OdesaCityLetters, S.Lab+Natura Ceramica, Katerina Kuznetsova & Valerii Kuznetsov, special Project Kyiv Posters.

We are grateful to the city of Zurich, the organizers of Zurich Design Weeks, the Thomas Kurer gallery, GIZ, USAID and project curator Anastasia Biletskya and the Design4Ukraine team for supporting our designers and implementing this large-scale professional project.
