Dutch Design Week 2025
Nine Days of Design, Innovation, and Cross-Disciplinary Thinking in the Heart of the Netherlands
Dutch Design Week (DDW) is the leading design event in Northern Europe, spotlighting the design of the future and the future of design. Held annually in Eindhoven, DDW is all about opening up new ideas, sharing insights, and connecting people across disciplines and borders. This year’s edition will take place over nine days in October, transforming the city into a vibrant hub of creativity.
With over 2,600 designers participating across more than 110 locations, the event attracts over 300,000 visitors from all around the globe. DDW is a showcase of high-quality, forward-thinking design across every discipline—from product to fashion, from architecture to digital innovation.
The heart of DDW lies in its five missions: Thriving Planet, Living Environment, Digital Futures, Health & Wellbeing, and Equal Society. These themes highlight urgent societal challenges and reflect what our world needs now. Designers are increasingly stepping up to play a role beyond aesthetics—applying their skills to foster innovation, spark debate, and push boundaries.
Exhibitions, lectures, award ceremonies, debates, and creative gatherings will fill the city with fresh perspectives. The focus? Talent, experimentation, crossovers, and how design can shape a better tomorrow.
Dutch Design Week invites you to discover how the next generation of designers is thinking, making, and building the future—one idea at a time.
