At our international RogDesignDays festival, we will be looking for answers to the challenges of sustainable design for the needs of modern society through three strands: the RogKreaton - a design sprint for creatives under 30, the RogForum - a two-day conference, and the RogExpo - an exhibition of products created in our production labs or by designers in residence.
RogDesignDays will take place at Center Rog from 10 to 14 November 2025.
This year’s theme "Boundaries & Frictions« explores the tensions, intersections, and creative possibilities that arise when constraints, limitations, and opposing forces meet. It invites creatives from all fields to examine how boundaries (physical, cultural, digital, or conceptual) shape creativity and how frictions (conflicts, resistances, or challenges) can lead to innovation in a world of polarization, climate crises, and rapid technological change.
We would like to spark dialogue on how design can navigate, disrupt, or transform the lines that divide us—turning friction into forward motion. What happens when we push limits and challenge norms? Are boundaries obstacles or opportunities that lead to better solutions?
Come to Ljubljana and be part of a week filled with hands-on creativity, stimulating discussions, and enjoyable networking.
Rog Creathon
Get ready for a 48-hour design sprint where 25 young creators (aged 18–30) will tackle five challenges based on the theme “Boundaries and Frictions.” Upon arrival, you’ll receive a box of materials and immediately dive into work under the guidance of top-notch mentors. With support from the team at Center Rog and its nine production labs, you’ll develop your solution in just two days. Connect with like-minded creators from around the world, have fun, compete for exciting prizes and take on the opportunity to exhibit at the RogExpo international exhibition!
RogCreathon will take place from 10 to 12 November 2025 at Center Rog, Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Applications are open until 6 October 2025!
