From December 11 to 14, Moscow will host the 7th Moscow Interior and Design Week — the largest industry exhibition in Russia. The event will bring together industry representatives from around the world. The program will feature over 200 Russian and international speakers. The highlight will be a session on the “Formula of Good Taste,” where experts will discuss key industry trends and challenges. They will discuss how professional designers create harmonious interiors by combining styles, shapes, textures, ornaments, and prints, as well as which methodologies and practices help develop a sense of style and build thoughtful, aesthetically pleasing spaces. As part of the business program, Her Excellency Reem Bin Karam, Director General of the Irthi Contemporary Crafts Council, and Aisha Al Harmoudi, Head of Marketing and Events at the council, will speak. Forty-six international companies from 15 countries — including Hungary, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, China, and Algeria — will participate in the exhibition. Among the participants are Zhu Xiaojie, designer and founder of the collectible furniture brand Opal; Lex ter Lau (Netherlands), an architect, urbanist, artist, and author of conceptual research projects and exhibition installations; and Carol Byings (Netherlands), co-founder and creative voice of a leading Dutch design company. For small brands, the Moscow Interior and Design Week is an opportunity to build a bridge to major markets, establish themselves within the professional community, and adopt best practices for their regions. In previous years, in addition to China, the UAE has also presented its national pavilion. Since 2022, more than four thousand Russian brands have showcased their products both online and offline, and the exhibition has welcomed over 730,000 visitors.
