After a virtual edition, Dutch Design Week is back for 2021 with a physical showcase of creative talent across the city of Eindhoven celebrating the design event’s 20th anniversary
Dutch Design Week returns to Eindhoven , with a city-wide programme of events, exhibitions and initiatives that mark its 20th anniversary. This edition’s theme, ‘The Great Number’, responds to humanity’s addiction to growth. Divided into four sub-themes, projects explore the topic through ideas, research products and proposals. The event’s 2021 theme is inspired by Italian architect and designer Giancarlo De Carlo, who coined the phrase for the 1968 Milan Triennale, which he curated.
The subject is still very current in 2021: ‘With this theme, on the one hand [we] call for less,’ reads a statement introducing Dutch Design Week 2021. ‘Less consumption, less production, and therefore less waste. On the other hand, we know less isn’t always possible and that when it comes to more, it should be better.’
With this premise, designers and creatives were invited to think about the current state of the world, and consider the pandemic as well as themes such as the climate crisis, inclusivity and wellbeing. ‘Designers want to make a difference: thinking about fully circular products, introducing new forms of local production, or designing products that make consumers think about the product’s use and true value,’ continues the statement.
Piet Hein Eek’s creative destination is a must-visit in Eindhoven. His studio-factory is open to visit, with a restaurant, shop and showroom that allow guests to delve deeper into the Dutch designer’s universe.
