A Design Market returns to Ghent on September 19 & 20, 2026, for its second Ghent edition and sixth edition overall. After five successful markets and thousands of visitors, A Design Market has grown into one of Belgium’s most distinctive vintage and collectible design events. What started in Antwerp has evolved into a carefully curated platform bringing together dealers, collectors, interior professionals and design enthusiasts from across Europe. Hosted once again at The Arsenaal in Gentbrugge, this edition embraces everything that made the first Ghent market so special: a relaxed atmosphere, a human scale, and a strong focus on quality over quantity. Spread across approximately 3,000 m², visitors can discover around 40 carefully selected exhibitors presenting an inspiring mix of vintage and collectible design from the 1920s through the 1980s and beyond. Expect mid-century modern, Scandinavian design, Italian classics, art deco, brutalism, lighting, seating, ceramics, artwork, rare objects and unexpected finds. More than a market, A Design Market is a weekend dedicated to discovery, craftsmanship and conversation. A place where collectors find hidden gems, where dealers reconnect with old friends, and where visitors can take their time to explore thoughtfully curated stands in a welcoming environment. Ghent offers the perfect setting for this approach. Creative, vibrant and approachable, the city mirrors the character of the market itself. Less about crowds. More about quality. Less about transactions. More about stories. Join us for a weekend of design, atmosphere and inspiration in the heart of Ghent.
