The international festival returns for its 26th edition with an expanded programme that brings design, architecture and digital culture into closer dialogue.
From April 16 to 18, 2026, OFFF Barcelona returns to Disseny Hub Barcelona with an edition shaped by collaboration, experimentation and cross disciplinary exchange. Since its founding in 2001, the festival has operated as a meeting point for creative practices that move between art, design and post digital culture, privileging process over spectacle.
The 2026 programme brings together major studios, agencies and independent voices working across branding, motion, photography and immersive environments. Names such as Seth Epstein, Nils Leonard, Reuben Wu, Maggie West, Björn Kusoffsky and Noah Dillon reflect a lineup that spans different scales and professional contexts, reinforcing OFFF’s interest in plurality rather than a single creative narrative.
This edition also responds to Barcelona’s designation as UNESCO World Capital of Architecture 2026. Architecture gains a stronger presence within the programme through talks by studios including Foster+Partners and CODA, extending OFFF’s scope towards questions of space, infrastructure and the built environment.
The festival’s visual campaign, developed by Uncommon Creative Studio under the title ‘What We Make It’, frames creativity as a shared construction shaped through exchange and collective agency. That approach extends to public initiatives such as The Screen, which returns with large scale projections on the Disseny Hub façade, opening parts of the festival to the city.
OFFF 2026 continues to position itself as a living platform, where creativity is understood as something made together, continuously evolving and open to reinvention.
