BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 November 2026 – Bangkok will welcome creative communities from across Asia and beyond for Bangkok International Design Expo 2026, THE WORLD ENDS: taking place at Bangkok Kunsthalle from 25-29 November 2026. Organised by the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB), the event brings together designers, architects, artists, technologists, brands and design enthusiasts around one provocative question: “What if the world of design ends? What comes next?”
Rather than signalling the end of design, the question challenges familiar ideas and limitations, opening up new possibilities through creativity. The expo is guided by ‘HERE, BETWEEN, ELSEWHERE’, with ‘CREATE WHAT MATTERS‘ as its purpose: turning creative thinking into meaningful contributions to people, culture, society and the economy.
Visitors can explore work spanning traditional craftsmanship, sustainable materials, architecture and advanced technology, with exhibitors including Teenage Engineering, Qualy, KITT.TA.KHON, Charites Gems, Makkha Design Studio, Pariwat Studio, The Archivist and Wasoo. The programme combines curated exhibitions and showcases with keynote talks, panel discussions, hands-on workshops, performances and cross-disciplinary exchange.
International perspectives from Mexico City’s LANZA ATELIER and London’s OK-RM will meet ideas from Thailand’s creative community.
The journey begins with HERE, exploring identity, culture, communities and local materials; moves through BETWEEN, examining technology, artificial intelligence, climate challenges and changing cities; and reaches ELSEWHERE, imagining alternative futures. It culminates in CREATE WHAT MATTERS: creating things that bring value to people and the world.
Located in Bangkok’s Chinatown-Hua Lamphong cultural district, Bangkok Kunsthalle reflects the city’s meeting of heritage and contemporary creativity. A former printing house reborn as a contemporary art space, it provides an evocative setting for new encounters and ideas.
More than an exhibition, THE WORLD ENDS: is an international creative and design platform connecting practitioners, brands, entrepreneurs, buyers, investors and global networks through dialogue, collaboration, networking and business matching.
Bangkok International Design Expo 2026, THE WORLD ENDS: runs from 25-29 November 2026, 13:00-21:00, at Bangkok Kunsthalle. Visitors can register online at register.theworldends.org/consent?type=visitor.
