At the same time, it has also become clear that the sector cannot go it alone. In order to make care truly inclusive, fitting the needs of all Dutch people, a joint effort is needed. How can we together ensure an inclusive and caring society?

Class of 2020: Willem de Kooning

DDW invited all Dutch design schools to put together an exhibition on the theme of The New Intimacy. Each school approached this in its own way. Some chose to curate a special new expo and others more a collection of graduates. All exhibitions together show the unique and high quality of Dutch design education. Each school has its own emphasis, its own signature, and that is reflected in the exhibition. When the physical DDW stopped, five of the participating schools decided to show their physical installation in the schools. In the upcoming videos you will see that work passes by, with explanations by students and curators.

TRANSITIONS: An Ongoing Operation on Change

The exhibition ‘Transitions’ proposes an exploration of design and its influence on the fundamental preoccupations of today’s increasingly fragmented society through the projects of five Brussels-based design practices. Some of the projects are holistic whilst others focus on small but significant details within the bigger whole. They question systems and structures from the bottom up, which allows them to interact in new ways with today’s needs: redefining waste by reusing wasted matter, creating systems for more democratic and environmentally friendly ways to design or new methods of production and interaction with heritage and craftsmanship. They use, conceive and define new tools, team up with scientists, researchers and craftsmen alike. Such approaches redefine the spheres in which design operates to a much broader spectrum. Design is not a one-man-show, not one object, not one solution.

FoodLab Pulses

Vegetable is booming. The supermarket is full of dairy and meat substitutes. Strangely enough, most flatulent burgers, stir fryers and breakfast drinks are made of soy beans from (far) foreign countries. While we can also grow our own protein-rich crops here.
So why aren't we massively growing soy, brown beans, chickpeas, lupins and field beans in the Netherlands? Simple: unknown makes unloved. There is still little demand for Dutch legumes, and that is a mortal sin. Because if we eat more legumes from our own country, it is a blessing for the environment, our soil and biodiversity. Time to think out of the box. FoodLab Pulses has brought producers of vegetable protein products together with designers to develop new concepts based on locally grown legumes. Concepts that are not only sustainable, but also add value to the crops. So that the Dutch legume will soon conquer the Dutch kitchen.

Aiki: Reading the cues
In collaboration with the Charlie Braveheart Foundation and Studio Bibi van der Velden, Dutch designer Josephine de Fijter has conceptualized a sensory object. That aims to prevent the child from enduring a traumatizing experience during medical care.
Medical encounters can leave a deep mark on the psyche of a child. They are often unnecessary frightening and stressful. The main aim is to bring autonomy back to the child by giving them a method of expression. The child receives the cuddle that will give them supported breathing throughout the examination. Rhythmic breathing exercises can have a long-term positive effect on our well-being. It stimulates brain regions that enable us to regulate our emotions.
For DDW 2020 they have assembled several panel talks with interdisciplinary speakers. Together, exploring how the design and health industry can collaborate to prevent and lower the stress-related symptoms linked to traumatic experiences.
