Olson Kundig - Seattle Design Festival

Your gift powers design for all. As a volunteer-powered 501c(3) nonprofit, we rely on the generous giving of our supporters to bring free and affordable programs to 10,000+ people citywide every year.

The Seattle Design Festival is a platform for bold design conversations. We believe that design is for everyone and that inclusive co-design practices are essential to shaping an equitable Seattle. We are multidisciplinary, socially engaged and civic minded.

Align your business with our region’s largest multidisciplinary design event attracting design professionals, business innovators, students, and enthusiasts. Boost your visibility, invest in your team, and show care for your community by sponsoring the Festival!

Together we will reveal the power of design—how it transforms ideas, spaces, and communities. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a passionate enthusiast, everyone is invited to engage in the programs or installations.

We’re thrilled to announce the lineup for the 2026 Seattle Design Festival: IN[FLUX], exploring movement, instability, and possibility all at once. The Festival kicks off with the Block Party August 15-16, our keystone event at Lake Union Park.

Olson Kundig is a collaborative global design practice of integrated architecture, interiors, landscape & planning
whose work expands the context of built and natural landscapes.

Seattle Design Festival sponsors provide funding to ensure design is for everyone and keep the Festival accessible and 99% free to the public. Thanks to our generous sponsors like Olson Kundig, emerging designers and community organizations participate for free, and can receive funding to defray the expense of creating for the Festival.
