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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22446\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/pheddw007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/pheddw007.jpg 700w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/pheddw007-300x183.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Studios<br \/>\n <\/strong><br \/>\n &#8211; Lotty Lindeman<br \/>\n &#8211; Wouter Scheublin<br \/>\n &#8211; Dirk van der Kooij<br \/>\n &#8211; Steven Banken<br \/>\n &#8211; Ren\u00e9 Siebum<br \/>\n &#8211; Sander Kunst<br \/>\n &#8211; Guus Alders<br \/>\n &#8211; Jean Paul Marsman<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-22448\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/DSC_1307.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"351\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/DSC_1307.jpg 700w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/DSC_1307-239x300.jpg 239w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 351px) 100vw, 351px\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-22450\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/DSC_1289.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"335\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/DSC_1289.jpg 700w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/DSC_1289-228x300.jpg 228w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 335px) 100vw, 335px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Presentations (in brief)<\/strong><br \/>\n <strong><br \/>\n &#8211; Young designers:<\/strong>\u00a0Sannenjacobs, Floris Hovers, Wieland Vogel, Tom Frencken, Stephan Sieperman<br \/>\n <strong>&#8211; TO SIT<\/strong>:<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>20 years of Piet Hein Eek chairs show the successes but also the more telling failures<br \/>\n <strong>&#8211; Roberto Polo&#8217;s Choise<\/strong>:\u00a0interesting but forgotten?<br \/>\n <strong>&#8211; Wehkamp.nl<\/strong>: the simplicity may have very well required 20 years of daily practice<br \/>\n <strong>&#8211; Cabinets\u00a0voor Kewlox<\/strong>:\u00a0as though they were slotted retroactively into history<br \/>\n <strong>&#8211; Freitag<\/strong>:\u00a0presents their latest series of bags and makes canvas critters with tyre marks<br \/>\n <strong>&#8211; Jan des Bouvrie<\/strong>:\u00a0will be telling his story on Thursday, 25 October as part of the series of lectures<br \/>\n <strong>&#8211; Miller Goodman<\/strong>:\u00a0shows their games, objects and newest idea.
