From 18 to 26 October, Eindhoven will host the 25 edition of Dutch Design Week. This week, Dutch Design Daily presents a number of highlights, today Building TT at Strijp T.
During Dutch Design Week, Building TT opens as an industrial exhibition space hosting designers and artists. Among the shows is Can it Hook, where the building’s original crane is used to literally “hook” and present works in a playful yet powerful way.
Building TT
Building TT has recently become the creative home of designers Dirk Duif, Tiddo Jordan Kirev, and Filip Pista. For Dutch Design Week, the building transforms into a dynamic exhibition space with multiple rooms, where a wide range of makers showcase their projects – from experimental research and installations to product and furniture design.

Can it Hook
One of the exhibitions in Building TT is Can it Hook. For this show, the original round crane – still present from the building’s Philips era – is put back into use. This time, not for lifting materials, but for literally “hooking” and presenting the works of designers and artists.
The crane acts as a playful yet powerful stage that highlights the industrial history of the site. The exhibition brings together diverse disciplines: product and furniture design, art, and experimental work. Can it Hook demonstrates the many ways makers engage with space, context, and presentation.
Hosted by Dirk Duif
The event at Building TT is organized by Dirk Duif (26), a maker and designer from Eindhoven. Working from his studio in Building TT, he initiates projects and exhibitions that highlight collaboration and the role of space and context in design.
