Large-scale design events began to pop up in Taipei only about a decade ago but have been flourishing.

In 2005, CAMPO Life Art Carnival, an artsy cultural fair, was first founded, and a year later, the Simple Life Festival was put together by Taiwanese musicians — connecting music and creative markets. Then in 2007, Taiwan Designers’ Week became the center of attention for the city’s creative scene. These events not only give space for local Taiwanese to interact with designers but also initiate conversations around Taipei’s design philosophies and aesthetics.

“Good Eye Taipei,” a new bilingual Taipei city guide, recommends four unique design events in Taipei.
