Library

The Estonian Design Centre has published several books on design, which you can order here. The Design Centre also lends out nearly 300 books on design.

The website of the Estonian Design Centre received support from the creative industries programme for the development of support structures, joint projects and export capacity. The project “Creating added value with design” received 300,000 euros of support from Enterprise Estonia through the European Regional Development Fund. The project lasted from May 2015 to May 2017 and its aim was to increase the use of design among Estonian enterprises as well as boost the export volume and added value of design agencies. The project was used to carry out several activities, such as the Design Bulldozer programme, seminars, training sessions and study trips to match the needs of entrepreneurs and design agencies so as to meet the goals of the project.
