Dutch Design Week and partners present HUBs: group exhibitions that bring designers and industry together around urgent developments within different domains. These themes are especially present and influential this year, making them a key factor in shaping future visions.
By bundling projects and perspectives, the HUBs spotlight these developments and brings them closer to the public. Each HUB creates a space where ideas, research, and design practice intersect—offering visitors a concentrated look at the questions and opportunities that define our time.
The 2026 HUBs include:
Textile & Material Innovation HUB — Klokgebouw
Industrial Design HUB — Klokgebouw
Signature & Collectible HUB — Building TX
Bouw aan Morgen, van materiaal tot sociaal HUB — De Melkfabriek
The Young Graduates HUB brings together +45 recent national and international graduates from around the world, offering a concentrated look at fresh ideas, experimental approaches, and critical perspectives from a new generation of talent.
Design Perron Young Graduates HUB will take place at Kennedyplein 300, on the other side of the railroadtrack from the regular Design Perron location (Fuutlaan 12).
