2026 DDP Design Book Fair
A book is born through countless choices and creative steps, from planning and editing to design and printing. The 2026 DDP Design Book Fair goes beyond the finished volume, inviting visitors to discover the design language and the stories behind how books are made.
Twenty-six design teams, publishers and creators showcase their books and works, alongside an exhibition exploring the bookmaking process and curated shelves of titles handpicked by various publishers.
