Milan design week Dezeen Dispatch

About Dezeen Dispatch

Dezeen Dispatch is a print publication featuring our pick of the best events, exhibitions and hotspots to visit at key design weeks around the world.

In 2026, Dezeen will produce three editions of Dezeen Dispatch to be distributed at key international design events: Milan design week (20-26 April); London Design Festival (12-20 September); Dubai Design Week (November).

The publication provides readers with a succinct snapshot of the top events, exhibitions, talks and hotspots worth visiting during these design festivals, plotted onto a centre-spread map of the city.

Written by the Dezeen editorial team, each newspaper will also include interviews with key protagonists at the event, as well as feature new talents and brands showcasing their work during the week. Additionally, local architects and designers will highlight their favourite spots to visit around their home city, including restaurants, bars, museums and more.

Dezeen Dispatch debuted at the annual Stockholm Design Week (SDW) in 2025 with a 40-page, newspaper-style publication, the first of its kind to be published by Dezeen.

"Dezeen's content usually lives within our digital ecosystem; creating this print product gives readers a new interaction with Dezeen's event-specific content during acute moments in the year," said Dezeen editorial director Max Fraser.

"Produced in a handy 'grab-and-go' format, design-hungry readers will hopefully enjoy Dezeen's editorial perspective on these key design weeks. The 'here today, gone tomorrow' nature of a newspaper lends itself perfectly to the short period of the event."

Co-CEO Wai Shin Li added: "we like to do things a bit differently at Dezeen and so producing a print newspaper in an increasingly digital world is exactly the kind of move we love! Dezeen Dispatch gives us a physical presence at major design events and the opportunity to connect even more deeply with the architecture and design community and our wider audience."

For those attending the design weeks, free copies of the newspaper will be available at select venues that are part of the official event programme. A digital version will be available to read online.
