WHY IT RATES: Jerusalem Design Week 2026, themed "Match Point," explores the intersection of design and sport, featuring over 100 designers and interactive installations, with events open to the public from July 9. —Janeen Christoff, TravelPulse Executive Editor


Founded in 2011, Jerusalem Design Week has become one of Israel’s leading design events, a platform for original work, international collaboration, and innovative projects.

This year's edition brings together 100+ designers and creators from Israel and around the world.

The 2026 theme, "Match Point", explores the intersection of design and sport. It examines how ideas of competition, identity, belonging, and achievement translate into visual and cultural language, against the backdrop of a summer packed with major international sporting events.

The program features interactive installations, works exploring fan culture, and projects developed in collaboration with leading institutions, including Bezalel Academy and the Maccabiah Games.

Opening Night on July 9 will include a festive launch of the exhibitions, alongside performances and a live concert by Nunu.

All events are free and open to the public.
