Strijp-T + R is one of the central locations of Dutch Design Week 2024, fully dedicated to innovation, textiles, and design.
Explore Piet Hein Eek and discover the project ‘Product Design for Dummies.’ This project offers an accessible view of how children use practical techniques in crafts, revealing valuable insights along the way. It’s a brilliant exploration of the boundary between crafting and designing. Also worth seeing is the playful ‘Roetsj Marble Run’ – a 360 cm tall marble run that creates a mesmerizing sound as the marbles descend. For a vibrant, colourful design, check out ‘Raw Color X Ikea’, a collaboration that brings their design philosophy of light and colour to life.
The experience wraps up with ‘Indo Future Talks,’ an inspiring reflection on the Netherlands’ colonial past, and ‘Baarmoedergeheimen,’ a project that opens dialogue around issues and discomforts tied to having a womb. Both works spotlight societal themes deserving of greater awareness.
