Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven is the largest design event in Northern Europe and presents work and concepts from more than 2,600 designers
“If not us, then who?” was the theme of Dutch Design Week 2018, a phrase that says a great deal about the current state of the world, but also about the progressive, responsible spirit that lies at the core of the Dutch design scene.
The energy in Eindhoven this year was palpable as ceramics were removed from kiln shelves straight onto display plinths. Experimental prototypes, finished on the day before the show, were placed in their final positions.
Often, products had a purpose beyond aesthetics, such as addressing environmental issues, restoring and maintaining a cultural heritage, or requiring longevity and adaptability.
