The event is turned to generation of business in design and innovation and will happen from Tuesday, September 9 to Sunday, September 14, at the Modern Art Museum (MAM) of Rio de Janeiro.
Named Design Trade Show, the space should cover an area of 1,500 square meters (16,145 sq. feet) and should bring together 40 companies, each day, from 12 noon to 8 pm, at Espaço Pilotis. On Sunday, operation is from 10 am to 6 pm.

Those turning up to the Brazil Design Week may see exhibition "Design in the XXI Century - Innovation in Brazilian Industry", to include around 80 works by designers renowned in Brazil and worldwide. In the schedule there are seminars with presentation of national and international success stories in the furniture, high technology, vehicle and transport, food and beverage, plastic and household appliance, and hygiene and beauty sectors.
