The call for entries is now live!

01 April 2026

From 17 to 25 October, Eindhoven transforms into a city of experimentation and new perspectives, where designers present their work to a global audience. Dutch Design Week (DDW) invites designers to set the course of the future. Projects can be submitted by 16 June.

The Full Spectrum

With this Call for Entries we call on the full spectrum of the field—from the speculative to the industrial, the research-driven to the hands-on. Beyond designers, DDW welcomes cultural institutions, brands, and entrepreneurs whose projects are driven by the power of design. We are convinced that design thrives on collaboration; we invite designers, the public and professionals to make that future visible together.

 

A Global Stage for Design

From early experiments to breakthrough work, DDW provides a platform for every stage of the creative process. Having welcomed names such as Maarten Baas, Studio Drift, and Formafantasma, the week continues to champion the next generation. We converge a wide range of perspectives, presenting urgent, societal, and unexpected ideas to a global audience.

The Call for Entries is open. Submit your project before 16 June!

β€œIn a time of social tension, climate crisis and growing inequality, old patterns no longer fit. Sometimes they even hold us back. Design shapes new ways forward. Dutch Design Week is the moment where ideas meet opportunity: a platform for designers, makers and entrepreneurs to show how they shape the future. This call is to help them connect with people who can turn that future into reality.”

Miriam van der Lubbe, Creative Head Dutch Design Week
