Dutch Design Week each year invites three designers to join our ranks as beacons. These trailblazers are considered pioneers in their field and in the turbulent world of design. This year, we welcome three new names: Bas van de Poel (Modem), Julia Watson (Lo-TEK Institute) and André Doxey (LEGO).
Beacons
As beacons, these leading designers are seen as guiding lights for fellow designers, partners, and Dutch Design Week visitors. In the first year, the involvement of joining beacons consists of a deep dive into DDW and sharing their vision of the profession and the world they work in. That exploration leads to the development of projects and/or a presentation at Dutch Design Week.
