OFFF Tallinn Announces First Speakers
OFFF Tallinn, the international festival celebrating creative excellence in design and digital culture, will make its Estonian debut on June 9–11, 2027. The festival has now revealed its first speakers, along with its visual identity and theme, “Attached”, created by Estonian creative agency Sweep.
Founded in Barcelona in 2001, OFFF has become an international meeting point for innovation, collaboration, and inspiration.

In the coming months, we’ll be announcing even more outstanding names from the international design scene. I encourage everyone to mark June 9–11, 2027 in their calendars. This is a world-class event you won’t want to miss.”
Attached: Part of Something Bigger Than Yourself
Three of Estonia’s top-performing design agencies at this year’s Golden Egg Awards were invited to compete to create the visual identity for OFFF Tallinn. The winning concept was created by Sweep, whose identity and festival theme share the name “Attached”.
“The theme explores what it means to come together and belong to a community here in the Baltics, and how that sense of belonging can resonate with and connect the wider international creative community,” explains Sweep.
“At its heart, the identity is about being part of something bigger than yourself: a vast creative community united by curiosity, collaboration, and the belief that creativity becomes stronger when we come together. The deeper story behind the concept will be revealed at OFFF Tallinn next year.”
To bring the concept to life, Sweep collaborated with Italian 3D artists Manfredi Grigolo and Philip Ulne Grigolo. Aimur Takk from Tüpokompanii developed an entirely new typeface inspired by the concept.
One important element of the identity remains under wraps. Alongside the visual world, Christopher Lilleorg has created a soundscape that visitors will only be able to experience at the festival itself.
