About Jaipur Design Week
About Jaipur Design Week
Jaipur Design Week (JDW) is an immersive forum where students, practitioners, and educators gather to explore design through dialogue, experimentation, and practice. More than a festival, JDW operates as a living design laboratory where ideas are tested, processes are shared, and learning unfolds through making. Rooted in the cultural fabric of Jaipur yet oriented toward the future, JDW frames design as a dynamic force one that both responds to its context and quietly shapes what comes next.
Jaipur Design Week (JDW) is a hands-on design festival that brings together
students, professionals, and educators for an immersive week of making, dialogue,
and experimentation. More than an event, JDW functions as a live design
lab where ideas are tested, processes are shared openly, and conversations move beyond theory into practice. It prioritizes participation over
passive listening, encouraging learning through doing.
Rooted in Jaipur’s cultural context yet forward-looking in vision,
JDW positions design as an active, evolving force that both responds
to its surroundings and shapes what comes next.
