Festival for aesthetic city life with exciting offers in Offenbach
For the fourth time, Into Design Capital invited visitors to rediscover aesthetic city life in Frankfurt and Offenbach from November 28 to 30, 2024. Over three days, industry-renowned designers, artists and restaurateurs led tours through their neighborhoods, introducing the public to a variety of design styles such as fashion design, architecture, cuisine or art.
This year's festival also focused on the city partnership between Tel Aviv and Frankfurt, which has existed since 1980. In particular, the station district in Frankfurt was highlighted and contrasted with an equally diverse district - the Montefiore district in the south of Tel Aviv. On the three days of the event, guided tours - the Expeditions - were organized around the theme of the station district and other Tel Aviv influences in Frankfurt in the areas of design, gastronomy and art.
The public format is a tribute to the aesthetic diversity of city life. The aim of the organizers is to bring the topic of design closer to specific places, people and stories and make it tangible.
The event was held in the spirit of the "World Design Capital 2026" title, which was awarded to the FrankfurtRhineMain metropolitan region in 2023.

Background
Into Design Capital took place for the fourth time and was presented on an expanded scale thanks to the support of the Frankfurt Economic Development Agency and the City of Offenbach. In addition, the City of Offenbach's economic development agency is also sponsoring the project. For the first time, the festival is an official partner of the World Design Capital 2026. "One-on-One FFM x TLV" is a partner project with the city of Tel Aviv. The festival is being conceived and realized by the design and communications agency Urban Media Project. The Offenbach-based agency had already created new points of contact and links to urbanity, city experiences and encounters with related formats. For example, numerous young talents and interested professionals come to the creative industry recruiting event INTO THE WILD in Offenbach every year. For the sixth time, the communication and design agency is organizing the official gallery weekend The Frankfurt Art Experience in September 2024.
