2011 Edition

Highlights

The 5th annual Design Montréal Open House, which took place on Saturday and Sunday, June 4 and 5 2011, was a great success. The 75 participating design offices, agencies and studios welcomed 17,300 visitors. The event took place as part of the celebrations surrounding Montréal’s 5th anniversary as a UNESCO City of Design.
Over these two days devoted to design, visitors were able to meet creators who have distinguished themselves in national and international design competitions and tour their workplaces to find out about their most recent accomplishments. The visitors learned about the profession in a friendly, festive atmosphere.

Once again, the designers brought their creativity to the fore: video screenings, models, 3D animations, exhibitions, interactive installations and fun activities were all on the menu.

Kids were welcome too: among others, they took part in a number of creation workshops, such as typography and illustration. As designers for a day, they made models, created clothing lines, designed a house and even gardened on a green roof.

Producers and Partners

Design Montréal Open House is an initiative of the Ville de Montréal with the support of various professional groups and in partnership with the Ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition féminine, pursuant to the Agreement on the Cultural Development of Montréal.
