For the second year running, Santa Fe, New Mexico, is offering a week-long event focusing on community-inspired design, creativity, and innovation. Supported by the City’s Economic Development Plan and UNESCO’s Creative City Global Network, Santa Fe Design Week 2006, to take place October 22-29, will feature over 50 designer-created events.

The all-encompassing design event will cover architecture, interior design, design-build, eco-design, water conservation and renewable energy design, landscape design, furniture and product design, fashion design, graphic, and new media design. Highlights include the Design Tour of Northern New Mexico, sponsored by tour company Seven Directions. Focusing on New Mexico architectural structures and design concepts, the tour will be led by Italian architect and designer, Italo Lupi, editor in chief of Milan-based Abitare Magazine.

Organizers hope Santa Fe Design Week will cultivate new target sector business, provide new market opportunities, attract a local, regional, and national audience, and create a dialog among the city's design community and community-at-large.

More information on the event is available online. More information on the Design Tour of Northern New Mexico is available via email at p.antonicelli@sevendirections.net or via phone at 505-820-3305.
