DDW brings MCD to The Netherlands

JoAnn Edwards, executive director and founder of MCD, will travel to Eindhoven, the Netherlands, to serve as a juror for the Dutch Design Awards at Dutch Design Week.  From October 17-25, DDW will offer today’s trends and unique insights into the future of design, hosting a dazzling array of boundless creativity and bold ingenuity from hundreds of renowned and talented designers.  Based on thirty finalists in different categories (Fashion, Product, Habitat, Design Research, Service&Systems and Communication), the international jury will select the winners which will be announced on October 24.

MCD’s summer exhibition Hands Off: New Dutch Design at the Confluence of Technology & Craft will soon be on view in the Netherlands during the popular nine-day Dutch Design Week event.  In addition to welcoming the Museum of Craft and Design’s exhibition to DDW, MCD is thrilled to announce two designers from Hands Off (Studio Drift, founded in 2006 by Ralph Nauta and Lonneke Gordijn) and Dirk van de Kooij, as finalists.
