GENERAL INFO

Dutch Design Week

From October 23 through October 31 2010, Eindhoven presents the 9th edition of Dutch Design Week, the largest design event in the Netherlands. Around 1500 designers from home and abroad will show their work all over the city of Eindhoven from design disciplines such as industrial design, concept design, graphic design, textile & fashion, spatial design, fooddesign and design management & trends. Visitors will be given insight into the entire development process from concept to product in various disciplines ranging from industrial design to applied arts. The participants include established bureaus, high-profile designers, talented newcomers, and recently graduated designers, one of the reasons why this Dutch Design Week is the perfect meeting place for designers, companies, and public.

Besides Klokgebouw op Strijp-S, there are dozens of locations in the city centre, such as deWitteDame, TU/e, Stadhuisplein, Designhuis or the Kanaalstraat. But there are also projects worth seeing and experiencing outside the centre of Eindhoven.
