For over twenty years, Dutch Design Awards (DDA) has celebrated and awarded the best, most interesting, and most innovative design, providing designers with a platform to showcase their work and facilitating matchmaking.
Design makes the world smarter, more innovative, more beautiful and humane.
Both the design field and DDA are constantly evolving. Therefore, in 2024, we have chosen a year of reflection. In this âyear of connectionâ, we will focus on the rich history of DDA, highlighting young designers from the past and present.
This means working with ten former winners or nominees in the Young Designers category. Interviews with these designers provide insight into their processes in recent years, where they are now, how they got here and how they are shaping the future. We also ask each of them to introduce one new young, talented designer.
The Young Designers 2024 are:
Thriving Planet:
Christien Meindertsma introduces Yuta Ikeya
Bob Hendrikx introduces Auke Bleij
