Tomorrow kicks off the 22nd edition of Dutch Design Week (DDW) in Eindhoven. One of the biggest design events in Europe presents work and ideas of more than 2600 designers to more than 350,000 visitors from home and abroad. In more than 110 locations across the city, DDW organizes and facilitates exhibitions, lectures, prize ceremonies, networking events, debates and festivities.
DDW concentrates on the design of the future and the future of design. It is our objective to show how designers from around the world shape a positive future and to strengthen the position and meaning of Dutch designers.
Theme DDW23 – Picture This The theme Picture This appeals to everyone’s imagination and celebrates the imaginative power of designers. We can all imagine where we are now heading as a society and as a planet, but how can or should things change? There is so much coming at us that it can be overwhelming. But we owe it to ourselves and to future generations to focus on what is needed, and to take action. The theme also appeals to designers themselves: aesthetics and beauty are incredibly powerful tools for opening the doors to meaning and to get people moving. Designers are experts in formulating and visualising different perspectives, which enables them to lead people through a process of change and break through paralysis.
