What if...? A simple question that opens doors to new ways of thinking and invites new perspectives. It helps us find different solutions when old answers no longer work.

The Labs

Labs are the experimental spaces of Dutch Design Foundation. Here, designers and companies work together using a creative approach to solve social problems. Dutch Design Foundation guides this collaboration through a custom-made process. This includes finding the right partners, design sessions, design research, and sharing the results. By thinking and innovating freely, creativity and expertise can strengthen each other. The labs lead to outcomes that the involved parties can further develop together in real-life practice. New products, services, or change processes, for instance. In this way, we shape the future together.
