Dutch Design Week is not just about aesthetics, but above all about solutions for tomorrow. From sustainable materials and the circular economy to mobility, architecture and digital technology. The themes are urgent and socially relevant. Visitors get a glimpse of how designers are working on a better world with creative ideas, often with prototypes and experiments that you won't see anywhere else.
Many of the activities take place at iconic locations such as Strijp-S, the former Philips site that has become a hotspot for innovation. Old factory buildings provide the backdrop for installations, exhibitions and interactive projects. But you will also discover unique presentations in other neighbourhoods, galleries and studios throughout the city.
The strength of DDW lies in its accessible atmosphere: you don't just walk past designs, you engage with them. Designers talk about their work themselves, visitors can participate in workshops, and children discover the power of creativity through play. It's an event where you don't just look, you experience.
What makes Dutch Design Week unique is that it is more than just an exhibition: it is a platform for meeting, collaboration and innovation. It shows that design is not just a discipline, but a way of thinking that can be applied everywhere. For nine days, Dutch Design Week allows Eindhoven to shine as the creative capital of the Netherlands. For anyone who is curious about the future, this is the moment to see how ideas become reality.
