Inclusion is a deed – this opening show does not ask who you are, but shows that every person deserves to be seen, deserves dignity and equal treatment. The 20th anniversary of Tallinn Design Festival opens with a cultural-existential bang, where the possibility of being human takes on a new form on stage.
Led by Reet Aus, a collective consisting of Päär Pärenson aka J.O.C, Viljandi Culture Academy students and a surprise performer takes to the stage to bring the audience a spectacle that is not afraid to ask: Who are we when we are being watched? Who are we when we are not seen?
Mon opening at 18:00

Join design pioneers Patricia Moore and Rama Gheerawo to discover a new leadership model for everyone in this special free masterclass, led by two of the most compassionate and influential voices in design today.
Do you feel excluded from leadership conversations? Too quiet? Too loud? Too "creative"? Too young? Too old? This is the antidote.What if leadership wasn't about fighting for a corner office, but a creative mindset to enable your life? A new way to approach your work, your community, your humanity and your personal growth?
Together, Pattie and Rama will guide you through a personal transformation. This is more than a professional development session; it’s about unlocking your innate ability to influence, create change, and lead with empathy in every aspect of your life.
Ever been told you’re “not leadership material”? This workshop is for you.

It’s more than a fashion show – it’s a spectacle!
DOM is a modern clothing design show that embodies today’s aesthetic while thoughtfully engaging with the ideas and questions shaping the future. Can design be fashionable and remain relevant beyond countless seasons ahead? At DOM, we believe it can. True design holds its value for years to come.
DOM is a performance devoted to clothing design. Showcasing the vision of ambitious Estonian designers, it transforms fashion design into a location-specific experience – immersive, inspiring, and unique.
DOM x B.MOR Studio
bmostudio.com
#bmorstudio
Tallinn, 2018: the slow fashion brand B.MOR Studio is established by Anna Chirkova, a former engineer. Her sensitivity to synthetic fabrics led to a mission to create clothing that supports human well-being.
B.MOR Studio seeks clothing solutions through sustainability, timelessness, and functionality. The “ITTAI” collection grew out of a touching story. Her parents’ classic menswear store operated for almost three decades, until the pandemic brought it to an end. The remaining pieces like shirts, jackets, and pants have now reimagined into a new function as modern unisex items.
Many thanks to: Tallinna Ringmajanduskeskus and Lilleküla õmblusparandustöökoda, ContractOK, Ida Moeshow MTÜ, Marianna Gunja, Alesinka OÜ, Tatjana Jakovleva, Meie Rätsepp, SIBLA Music.
DOM x Franz Raver
#franzraver
Franz Raver designs apparel for companies – from teamwear and workwear to formal representation attire. The brand emphasizes the importance of clothing as an integral part of a company’s identity, whether worn in the office, at client meetings, or during corporate events. Every cut and detail is carefully considered to ensure both comfort for the wearer and a strong, visible brand presence.
In collaboration with each company, Franz Raver creates garments that meet specific requirements, are functional, and clearly communicate the story of the team.
DOM x LENTSIUS
#lentsius
At the DOM show, Lentsius presents a new clothing collection and the “Sunlit” jewelry series, bringing together the charm of used military textiles and innovative metal techniques. The garments are made from upcycled materials, valuing the natural aging of fabric and the traces left by sun, rain, and snow.
Designer Kairi Lentsius focuses on adding value through form and embroidery. The coats protect like tents, adorned with machine-stitched leaf patterns drawn from the forest.
Biggest thanks go to tailors Annika Lätt and Reet Vaga and craftsman Mart Lentsius!

It's Tallinn Design Festival anniversary, and of course there has to be a party – a DesignNIGHTParty!
Though they have performed only rarely in recent years, I Wear* Experiment remain as energetic and epic as ever. For Autumn Jazz, they take to the Tallinn Design Festival’s stage with an exclusive, ambitious programme, unveiling never-before-heard songs and premiering their new single Forest Fire.
The concert is conceived in two parts, beginning as an acoustic spectacle – where the trio is joined by the inviting sounds of backing vocals, viola da gamba, harp, and double bass – and building into a full-throttle electronic blaze.
