20 until 28 October – Dutch Design Week 2012

12-07-2016

DDW’s strength lies in the fact that it emphasises the design process, i.e. the creativity aspect. An exhibition is usually a place where people come to buy and sell things. But during DDW, many young people will be presenting their ideas, prototypes and ‘firstlings’ and, in some cases, their first successful products. The highlight in this sense is the Design Academy, which will be showing its final exam projects and where you always leave feeling a little more cheerful. This is an exhibit where you can quench your thirst for positive creative energy.

During DDW, our factory will be operating in top gear, our studio tenants will be displaying their work and our building will showcase numerous presentations by young designers, all of whom have worked or interned with us at some point.
