DUTCH DESIGN WEEK 2022

Miriam van der Lubbe - Creative Head DDW22

All set! Dutch Design Week 2022 (DDW) was all about getting ready for everything that is coming at us as a society and forging smart coalitions to deal with it.
Get Set... We're on a mission! was the theme of DDW22. A strong sense of urgency was clearly evident among the designers and studios participating in DDW22. Concrete action, solutions and meaningful collaborations characterized this edition of Dutch Design Week.

The appeal of DDW22 was great, also for international visitors, policy makers and organizations that recognize the power of design. A successful edition, in which participants and visitors inspired each other with positive stories that feed confidence and optimism. Together we can shape a better future.

Miriam van der Lubbe, Creative Head of Dutch Design Week:
"We see that a new generation of designers has emerged. They reflect on the many complex and urgent issues of our time. Dutch Design Week is a unique platform where the design community shares their innovative ideas and interacts with visitors, businesses, governments and knowledge institutions. While DDW is back to the level of top year 2019 in terms of visitor numbers, we continue to focus on quality and putting this indispensable design force in position. The ambition and need to grow into the best platform is greater than ever."

Andrea Trimarchi & Simone Farresin (Formafantasma) ambassadors of DDW22:
"Dutch Design Week over the years has always managed to shine its light on new voices and talents. These need to be protected and nurtured and need a place where they can bring their ideas to the limelight. DDW offers just that: a flurry of energy and good venues. DDW is a celebration of ideas."

Marjan van Aubel, solar designer and ambassador of DDW22:
"Dutch Design Foundation is also a partner of the Solar Biennial and that is such a clear support of the mission to design for the future. We very much share that cathedral thinking and it's actually always about revising systems. To do that you have to look bigger and collaborate with other industries and parties."
