From October 20 through October 28, the sixth edition of the largest design event in the Netherlands takes place in Eindhoven: Dutch Design Week. For nine days on end, Eindhoven will be the most prominent design platform in the Netherlands, introducing the public to all aspects of Dutch Design. No less than 50,000 people visited Dutch Design Week (DDW) last year.
Virtually all design disciplines ranging from product design, graphic design, and spatial design to design management, textile design, and fashion design are represented in more than 40 large and smaller venues all through the city. DDW presents alongside established bureaus and high-profile designers also upcoming talented designers and recently graduated designers, thus providing an overall view of the state of affairs in Dutch Design.
A low-threshold event, DDW is accessible to a large public. The participating designers are present in the exhibitions to explain their work and answer any questions the visitors may have. DDW offers designers, suppliers, and producers a meeting place to get acquainted with one another and to develop new ideas in an informal atmosphere.
The DDW programme comprises more than one hundred constituents including exhibitions, lectures, workshops, conferences, company visits, and a number of parties. This year, visitors can compose their own programme of the activities of their interest in advance.
Admission to the majority of the activities is free. The DDW locations can be reached with one of the DDW Design Shuttles.
