With many new products, the latest design trends and developments, and great attention to research and experiment. Below the latest developments and program tips. For more information and backgrounds, go to the event website www.ddw.nl.

Three areas

With an expected number of 1,800 designers and more than 300 events in nine days, DDW is the largest design event in Northern Europe. Even though during the week Eindhoven is inundated with design, most programme events are clustered in three areas, each with their own character.

Area Strijp, to begin with, hosts talented and renowned designers, the manufacturing industry and the business sector, and numerous educational institutions in an industrial setting with a strong open-studio character.

Area Inner City is situated in the warm and welcoming environment of the Eindhoven inner city and presents vibrant collectives, cultural institutions, crafts and workshops - mostly under curatorship – that are focused on concept, innovation and fashion. Last but not least, Area East surprises with up-and-coming designers and dynamic designer collectives whose hands-on mentality fits perfectly into the experimental area of design enclave Section C on the outskirts of the city. The latter two areas offer an evening programme.
