Jamaica Observer Design Week Ja 2025 launched on Sunday, October 5, 2025, at the S Hotel, Kingston.
Anchored by The Pinnacle, National Housing Trust, Rapid True Value, ARC Manufacturing Limited, ATL, Ashley Furniture Homestore, and Spaces, Jamaica Observer Design Week Ja — now in its eighth year — is a highly anticipated calendar event. And, with Jamaicans readying for the island’s biggest home décor and renovation season, and the who’s who of interior design and real estate arming themselves for an onslaught of jobs this Christmas, there’s always a decidedly captive audience to draw in during its usual one-week run.
This year, the launch, held under the theme ‘Creative Resilience’ attracted a capacity audience eager to learn from the expertise of presenters Dwayne Berbick, Peter Clarke, Heather Pinnock, Peta-Gaye Simpson, Cecil Foster, and Steven Livingston.
