Over its 7 years of existence, Design Act has welcomed over 300,000 visitors. It has hosted more than 100 solo exhibitions by Western and Russian designers, conducted over 70 lectures and sold over 10,000 unique design objects at the Design Market. The festival has been covered in over a hundred publications in leading media outlets, with reports on channels like "Channel One," stories on "NTV", "Dozhd TV", "Moscow 24", radio stations like City FM and Echo of Moscow, as well as in publications like Interier+Design, OK!, The Moscow Times and many others.

In 2022, after a 10-year hiatus, the festival returned to showcase to a wide audience how the world of industrial design has evolved in recent years.
