Design Exhibition Opens Minds in Riga

Latvian Design Award winners showcase innovative solutions.

An open-air exhibition in **Riga** offers residents and visitors an opportunity to explore the award-winning designs, highlighting design’s capacity to address current issues and foster societal change.

Design for Good

The exhibition’s description emphasizes its purpose: “The works on display at the Latvian Design Award 2025 open-air exhibition demonstrate design’s ability to solve contemporary problems, engage people, bring about positive change and inspire broader thinking — from the quality of children’s everyday spaces to charity campaigns that unite society, from housing choices to digital solutions for healthcare, from the transformation of public spaces to bold individual projects that break down social prejudices.”

Wide Variety Displayed

Both emerging designers’ experiments and projects commissioned by national and local governments are featured. According to the Design Management Institute, organizations that invest in design see returns as high as 225% (DMI 2018).
