Queen Rania Opens the Fourth Edition of Amman Design Week Under the Theme “Accretions”
Al-Taj News – Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah today opened Amman Design Week at the Ras Al Ain Hangar in Amman, ahead of the week’s events opening their doors to visitors for two weeks, from Friday, October 2, through October 17.
The fourth edition of Amman Design Week, launched in 2016 at the initiative of Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah, is being held at five main locations: Ras Al Ain, Jabal Al Lweibdeh, Jabal Amman, Iraq Al Amir, and Aqaba Governorate, as part of a free program featuring exhibitions, workshops, talks, and various cultural initiatives.
Her Majesty toured the hangar accompanied by Her Royal Highness Princess Iman bint Abdullah II, a number of members of the Royal Family, and guests. In the presence of Amman Design Week co-directors Sarah Hijazin and Bashar Al-Tabbaa, she viewed a selection of creative works and designs by designers and artists from Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Egypt, India, and Armenia.
Amman Design Week 2026 is organized in partnership with the Greater Amman Municipality under the theme “Accretions,” with the participation of 220 designers, makers, and innovators from Jordan, the region, and around the world, showcasing their creative collections and works across 59 participating spaces through 204 events.
This year’s edition draws its themes from the details of everyday life and from the impact of place, materials, and memory in shaping what surrounds us, exploring how design is formed and evolves over time, and how it is influenced by inherited knowledge and the material, social, and environmental processes within which it emerges.
