DDW17

“Designers are, by nature, off-centered. They lean forward, like athletes at the start of a race. They are stubborn and optimistic.

They run against the wind with their chin held high. (A chin that's strong, because leaning forward requires them to endure.) But they're also viable and flexible. They dodge, duck, fall and get up.

They continually find their way - a new way.”

– Martijn Paulen (director Dutch Design Foundation)

Foreword

Foreword Stretch Dutch Design Week (DDW) stretched the world in October 2017, during its sixteenth edition. The successful week saw 335,000 visitors inspired by the work of over 2,600 national and international designers. This year’s theme is STRETCH, a theme we believe is crucial to what designers do.

Designers are always stretching boundaries, constantly looking for opportunities in the most unlikely places, pushing things forward, and finding new collaborations, new materials and new techniques... The courageous spirit of these changemakers is the inspiration for DDW 2017.

like in the future. Marcus Fairs, Editor-In-Chief of Dezeen, woke people up with Good Design For A Bad World, a series of talks addressing design’s role in different global crises. Here, we are presented with challenging questions: Are we using design to create change for the good?

Or is design helping to cause these problems? Meanwhile, Lonny van Ryswyck and Nadine Sterk (Atelier NL) raised the bar high with To See a World in a Grain of Sand, an exhibition which literally brought the whole world to Eindhoven through sand samples. Their methodologies, profoundness, and detailed way of working is truly setting the standard for design research.

Ambassadors This year, we had three ambassadors who put a lot of enthusiasm and energy into making DDW a success.

Winy Maas (MVRDV) carried us along with his infectious energy and brilliant ideas. A perfect embodiment of the theme, MVRDV’s (W)ego Hotel – a futuristic hotel which can be moved into different configurations according to each situations’ needs – stretched the idea of what buildings will look

Internationalization DDW is always about looking forward instead of looking back; this is in our DNA. Our ambition is to become even more international, with a strong focus on the future of design.

The latest edition saw more participants, visitors, media and professionals coming from all over the world. Furthermore, we made a big step towards reaching our internationalization goals through the very first World Design Event (WDE).

DDW17

One of the highlights of WDE was the People’s Pavilion by Bureau SLA & Overtreders W (which is a gem in itself, being one of the pioneers of circular building), a meeting place for discussions about the future of design and societal issues.

Giving designers a boost This link is very important to us, as it is our main role to con­nect designers with the industry, and to open up possibilities for them.

We are very proud of What If Lab – a successful initiative in which companies and service providers got the opportunity to work closely together with design professionals. We are also very happy that we were able to place designers in the mainstream Dutch media. The TV programme De toekomstbouwers (VPRO) increased the visibility and reach of these creatives’ works.

Similarly, this book you have in your hands right now will tell you that the future is looking quite good. Many great things are possible if we dare to stretch and go beyond our fears and limitations. I hope you find something in here that will trigger you, energize you, and inspire you to take that extra step.

See you at DDW 2018!

Foreword

If we want to lean towards to future, we need to give the stage to the future. This is the credo of Antenna, a high-quality international conference where young talent (under 30 years old) from top design schools around the world presented their work and ideas to professionals, companies and experts.

Stretching towards the future Another reason to celebrate is the 15th anniversary of the Dutch Design Awards (DDA).

The exhibition and book entitled Be The Future – showcasing this year’s winners – and Back To The Future – a look back at DDA’s fifteen years – illustrates the limitless possibilities of the creative spirit.

Stretch

Stretch Dutch Design Week 2017 The world is manufacturable. The future stretchable. Designers have revolutionary ideas and innovative solutions for the future. We present mind expanders, horizon extenders and boundary pushers. Warm-ups and stretch exercises for people who want to stay agile. Move with the times and stay supple. It all starts at DDW: do the #stretch.

During the 16th edition of DDW, 2,600 national and international thinkers and doers presented their work. Designers that made the event bigger and the world just that little bit better, smarter, handier and more beautiful. By the end of October, 335,000 visitors had made their way to Eindhoven to see the latest work and the best of what design has to offer. They took a peek behind the scenes with the designers, and saw the future with their own eyes.

About DDW In October of each year, Dutch Design Week (DDW) takes place in Eindhoven. In 2017, the biggest design event in Northern Europe presented work and ideas of more than 2,600 designers to more than 335,000 visitors from home and abroad. At more than 100 locations across the city, DDW organises and facilitates exhibitions, lectures, prize ceremonies, networking events, debates and festivities.

DDW is different from other design events, be­ cause it concentrates on designs of the future.

Although during the event every imaginable

DDW17

discipline and aspect of design is on offer, the emphasis is on experiment, innovation and cross-overs. Special attention each year goes to work and development of young talent.

Mission DDW is optimistic and believes in the problem solving capabilities of designers. They have demon­strated that they dispose of the inventiveness and flexibility of mind that can lead to innovations that our rapidly changing world so craves.

Our ambition has three pillars: 1. Offering a platform to designers, irrespective of origin or nationality, with a Dutch design men­tality: our organisation reinforces Dutch design through offering a leading international stage.

2. Offering designers opportunities: helping them move forward by introducing media, commerce and other sectors to designers and their work - in the form of publicity, network expan­sion and assignments.

3. Talent development: our future-oriented vision is not limited to tomorrow. Which is why one of our organisation’s spearheads is the stimulation and support of the new generation.

History DDW all began back in 1998. In that year the Vormgeversoverleg (a designers collaborative) organised the first Day of Design. Objective: introducing entrepreneurs to designers.

The event, which took place annually in Eindhoven, attracted more interest each year and grew exponentially. The Day of Design became the Week of Design in 2002 and ultimately in 2005 it was renamed Dutch Design Week.

To reinforce the international accent of the ambassadorship in 2017, DDW selected three, in stead of two, ambassadors who are well-known for their international vision and impact: architect Winy Maas (MVRDV), designers Lonny van Ryswyck and Nadine Sterk (Atelier NL) and journalist Marcus Fairs (Dezeen).

“During DDW the world meets in Eindhoven and connects with the place for a moment. Design can be felt and seen everywhere, everyone can touch it. Sometimes literally, personally and intimately, in other places on a bigger scale with the help of the latest technology.

We believe this is wonderful and important, it gives us the opportunity to reappreciate all sorts of things: nature, the city, each other.� www.ateliernl.com

Atelier NL Lonny van Ryswyck and Nadine Sterk from Atelier NL are unique innovators. In reality, they have been literally and figuratively standing in the middle of their working field for ten years: up to their ankles in mud. But it is their pure, sincere and fine-tuned approach to work that guides them in everything they do.

This typical Atelier NL method can now be considered as the measure for research in design. Atelier NL was on show during DDW17, with their exhibition To See a World in a Grain of Sand, a (film) installation of their extensive research project in the

that of others, often through laying multidisciplinary links. The projects that agency MVRDV is involved in are the best proof of this. During DDW17, Winy Maas presented developments in architecture and future urban plans with the projects (W)ego, The Why Factory and ici Eindhoven.

Marcus Fairs As well as being a journalist and design critic Marcus Fairs is a gifted debater. He is unsurpassed in his ability to draw global attention to developments in and to evaluate Dutch design from an international perspective. The founder and editorin-chief of the online magazine Dezeen gave DDW17 more depth and impact: during the week Marcus Fairs presented the online magazine

Ambassadors

“I experienced an incredibly fascinating energy during this edition of DDW. The ambassadorship is something that doesn’t grind to a halt at the end of the week, it is a long-term connection and it carries obligations. As an ambassador I was given homework: following up designers, organisations, government departments and foundations, on all sorts of matters that were discussed during DDW. I loved it.”

Art directors

Art directors Since 2009, DDW has appointed an external party for the design and presentation in the Klokgebouw. This year, for the second time, professionals were also approached as art directors for VEEM and the centrally located Ketelhuisplein. Overtreders W, Raw Color and La Bolleur accepted the challenge.

Overtreders W This year, once again, Overtreders W were the art directors for the Klokgebouw. It was their ambition to lay out the entire venue without creating waste. Designers Reinder Bakker and Hester van Dijk used cutting waste from FaberExposize and borrowed material from Greenpanel for a spectacular exhibition. www.overtreders-w.nl

Raw Color Movement and colour are the visual ingredients that gave visibility to VEEM. The visitor walked into an experience of textiles. An intervention between man and spatial elements of the location. www.rawcolor.nl

DDW17

La Bolleur La Bolleur was this year’s art director for the Ketelhuisplein. The multidisciplinary design studio transformed the centrally located square into a not-to-be-missed corridor between various venues and exhibitions at Strijp-S. A mix of design & pleasure, the Inwisselbar under a yellow parasol, and a new programme every day.

“The evolution and sprawl of DDW can be neatly dovetailed to this year’s theme – ‘Stretch’. This design festival stretches the boundaries of physical interaction, with design increasingly delving into Eindhoven’s environs, it stretches the imagination and it stretches the leg muscles.”

– Robert Urquhart (ARTS THREAD)

Campaign ‘Stretch’ is the essence of design.

By stretching your mind, you create space to innovate. To change your direction, the way you work, your environment and how you see the world. To transcend boundaries and define a new standard. In cooperation with creative agency Fabrique, a public campaign was developed to support the theme. www.fabrique.nl

DDW concentrates on designs for the future. Smart solutions and inventive designs offer many new perspectives and boy, did they look promising this year! This all took place in curated and group exhibitions, and in open studio presentations with, traditionally, extra attention and space for young talent.

There was more on offer than ever before, and – since DDW opened its doors to other countries in 2013 – it’s developing an increasingly more international character.

Designer Close-Up: Nina van Bart Interview by Corine Spaans for E52

During Dutch Design Week, E52 introduced visitors to the event’s Hidden Gems. Ten special designers who E52 feel are the stand-outs of the 2017 edition.

During DDW, Nina van Bart showed a series of wall and floor cloths made with a new 3D tufting technique. She let you experience what this new application does with the acoustics in the room, how they visually give an identity to the space and how they stimulate your sense of touch.

The cloths are part of ‘Zooming in and out’, a long-term research into refined structures applied on a monumental scale, made with machines from the industry. "Aspects such as light, reflection, hard or soft materials and acoustics in a room are all related to how people perceive the space", Nina says. “It makes it a pleasant space or just the opposite.

In fact, material is a carrier of the appearance of that space”.

Her search for a new material or application begins by experimenting with material or drawing new structures, after which she seeks the technique that can make it. “Handmade drawings and a material study work refreshingly in a design world

dominated by 3D printing and digital production. And I think it’s a good exercise so you can also can push the limits of existing techniques.”

She graduated at the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2013 and has since been working as a freelance designer for, amongst others, Christiane Muller of the industrial and interior design studio MüllerVanTol in Amsterdam. There she specialized in the structures of wall covering for the interior products company Vescom.

This specialization brought her to the company Carpet Sign in Asten, where she experienced a by them designed new technique for tufting carpet, Nina says. “A 3D tufting technique which allows you to play with differences in depth and volume more, which has an acoustic effect on the space and visually does a lot with light and shadow.” She first drew the structures for the carpets, perfected them with the computer and with those digital drawings, the tufting machine was fine-tuned. For every design, she selected the yarns and colours from the library of Carpet Sign.

“Because so much is digitalized these days, our senses need to be more stimulated," Nina thinks. The

Her exhibition was shown in Studio van der Zandt. “My studio is in Den Bosch and I was looking for a room where I can show that series of carpets. It is an industrial space of 100 square meters and the carpets are getting enough space to experience them. In a busier location, you get too many other incentives.” She shared the space with three other designers and with her exhibition, she hoped to get in touch with people from other industries or architects, so that she could look with them for new materials and applications.

She’s curious. “I like to look for different ways of doing things,” she says. She already showed that with her graduation film the Alchemist. In that, the bathroom became a laboratory in which you make your own care products. “We have been taking care of ourselves according to the same habits and rituals for decades. There’s a double meaning: the care products we buy in the store contain toxins that aren’t good for our body. With that film, I wanted to criticize the wellness industry, but also inspire people to look for other possibilities.”

"Zooming in and out is an ongoing research. I always keep searching for materials and broaden my knowledge. Now I have focused on the materials themselves, but in the future, I could also make a film for the materials industry to visualize a future vision or concept.” ninavanbart.nl www.e52.nl

Interview

structures of her carpets make for that extra stimulation: “My work invites people to touch." She develops the materials for public spaces such as a town hall, theatre of a restaurant, so that a larger public can experience the effect of the materials. “On a larger surface, those carpets have a larger impact.”

in the chances of survival for people with cancer. If you have faith in the information you receive, you often take better decisions.

Renee Scheepers is actually doing too much to capture in this story.

She’s a designer who once graduated with honors at the Design Academy Eindhoven. In addition, she’s a researcher, founder of Nul Zes, city ambassador and closely involved in the development of the NRE-area.

During DDW, she gave an insight into her versatile work world. Here’s a preview – on the basis of four defining moments.

Designing is investigating "During my time at the DAE, we were sent to the estate ‘De Grote Beek’, the terrain of the GGzE (Mental Healthcare Eindhoven) for an assignment. The assignment was short: go there and see what you can contribute as a designer. That is interesting, I thought.

We normally work with clear projects, with a beginning and an end. With an assignment that reads: make this or that. Now we were only given a context. You had to come up with the question yourself. It was a turning point. I realized I had to act like a researcher. How do visitors get here?

What are the underlying interests?

What ideas are there?

For my graduation, I used that view to look at an irradiation institute for cancer patients. What is coming at you? How do you process that as a patient? Research shows that good provision of information plays a part

The result is the handbook Revealing maps of cancer care. It has changed several things in this institute. The way in which you are welcomed, the information about the journey you’re entering, the way of talking to patients. It is more empathic, without it becoming childish.

An own place After graduating, I started Nul Zes. I have wanted to have my own place in Eindhoven for a long time. A nice work space with different people under one roof. Where we can just do nice things. Work, party, organize cabaret evenings. In 2013, we started on the NRE-area. Nul Zes is a collective of designers with different backgrounds.

We make a lot of use out of each other’s qualities.

My latest project? A project together with the water authorities and Woonbedrijf. The water authorities wondered how they could raise awareness around water. Residents play an important part in that. If you look at, for example, the number of medicines with which we pollute our water, there is still a lot we can improve. Through Woonbedrijf we came into contact to the residents of the district Geestenberg.

In such a process, I am aware of my role as a designer. I’m not a scientist, but I design ways to talk to people.

Preferably a little playful and funny.

From those conversations, I collect the building blocks for the research.

For example, we found out that the district residents would want some more social contact. Even though, in the survey of Woonbedrijf, they invariably filled in they didn’t.

Apparently, they did want contact, but not through the activities that were currently being offered.

In Geestenberg, several things have been put in motion. Awareness, in this case around water, can’t be imposed. You have to discover it together. For example, we have gone on a water safari with a number of residents from the district who are in a mobility scooter." www.reneescheepers.nl www.e52.nl

Strengthen research skills I still see myself as a researcher. When the DAE asked me to be a research associate, it was a nice opportunity for me to strenghten my research skills. As an associate, I contribute to

Interview

As a patient, you have to wait a lot.

In the waiting room, you’re looking at doors that are all closed. You start to imagine what is happening behind them. I have tried to break the ‘institute’. To make it more transparent. Also the radiation itself.

What is that exactly? People often wonder whether it hurts. And whether they can keep their clothes on.

research questions submitted by third parties. What we learn from that, also flows back into education.

Designer Close-Up: In4nite Interview by Renske Mehra for E52

Interview

During Dutch Design Week, E52 introduced visitors to the event’s Hidden Gems. Ten special designers who E52 feel are the stand-outs of the 2017 edition.

In4nite was worth visiting, even if it’s only for the location. On the top floor of the usually closed TQ building on Strijp-T, ten designers from Arnhem organised a special programme in collaboration with Low & Bonar.

During DDW, it is all about smart materials, and Colback® in particular.

That probably doesn’t ring any bells, and yet you can find the material everywhere. In roofs, car mats and at the back of carpets. “Colback especially shines in the background,” Rick Tegelaar jokes, one of the designers of in4nite.

Tegelaar explains what Colback is exactly. A special material developed in The Netherlands, made up of composite yarns with a core of PET (plastic). Strong and very solid. Low

& Bonar, producer of Colback, was curious to find out what else could be done with the material and invited ten young designers from Arnhem to give their vision. It resulted in ten special projects.

Tegelaar took on the challenge by not just thinking about applications, but also about ways of producing.

His course of industrial design, which he did before the art academy, came in handy. He built a 3D printer with which the Colback yarn could be printed onto something. That way it is possible to apply a reinforcing layer on desired places.

Useful for example the interior of cars (which involves a lot of Colback): by only applying an additional solid layer where necessary, you save material thus also weight. Another designer that could be seen is Mieke van den Hout.

Large, open spaces where sounds are hollow are more and more often used to build in. That is why Van den

49 49

Hout researched the acoustic features of Colback and designed beautiful panels with the material.

Colback also has porous features.

It inspired Robbin Baas to design ‘hanging gardens’. He uses the material in a smart way, which allows excess water to easily flow off and to be collected. The hanging gardens are entirely made out of recycled PET, known as Colback Green.

In the TQ building, it wasn’t only about the innovative designs with Colback. The collective made a broad, substantive programme about smart materials and the use of technical textile. Designers and guest speakers gave lectures in the specially designed theatre and videos of the designers and their projects were on display.

Besides content, there was a pop-up restaurant. And of course, one of the most beautiful views over Eindhoven. www.in4nite.com www.e52.nl

Designer Close-Up: Studio Thier&vanDaalen Interview by Milan Lenters for E52

Interview

During Dutch Design Week, E52 introduced visitors to the event’s Hidden Gems. Ten special designers who E52 feel are the stand-outs of the 2017 edition.

Not in a studio or in a shed, but simply in the surroundings where the objects belong. A house. No Ikea imitation, but a house where real people live, that is where the exhibition put together by Thier&vanDaalen was on display. “We didn't want to place the objects on a pedestal, but rather show them in an environment where they speak for themselves," so explains Iris van Daalen.

For friends, they designed a new kitchen that formed the heart of this exhibition, for which the residents of the house moved to the attic for a week. “They are a bit of a guest in their own house yes, it's a crazy idea. But when we proposed it, they said: 'you have to do it, good idea'. They were so enthusiastic about the work we had chosen, they put up with it.” Because besides the kitchen, Thier&vanDaalen chose a lot of other work to dress up

the house. “We had the ground floor and the first floor. There was something for everyone. It's just what you are interested in, from lamps to textiles, glass and art, we’ve had it all. It was a whole process, but everything was there to strengthen each other. You were looking for a kind of tension, a new way of looking at things. It's a bit crazy to say, but we put so much energy into it, that it almost felt like our own home.”

The idea for the kitchen came about after a long series of experiments with Himacs, a durable material that is easy to keep clean. The material can be glued invisibly and is used in all kinds of applications. Thier&vanDaalen already showed some examples last year during DDW. “It is a material you can use in al lot of different ways,” says Van Daalen.

“We've experimented a lot, we looked at what happened when you let the glue run freely. Tried different colours, shapes and lines. A nice playground where we learned a lot from.”

The kitchen was a next step in this process. Friends of the designer

53 53

duo were so enthusiastic about this material that they wanted a kitchen.

“We have been given carte blanche to explore the possibilities of the material,” Van Daalen laughs. “Well, not total freedom of course, we have been given guidelines, where to hang the cupboards, for example.” The kitchen has a typical Thier&vanDaalen style, in which they look for contrast: everything looks very tight, but by a colourful line they try to break through that. “On Instagram we already started to tease. We want to invite as many people as possible to come and see.”

During the exhibition, the duo, like several other designers, were present to talk about their work. “We took visitors with us to tell them about our working methods. I found it quite exciting to see how the audience would react. Of course, it doesn’t happen every day that someone opens their house to prying eyes.” www.thiervandaalen.com www.e52.nl

The clients, in any case, are really enthusiastic, they want to work together, they have nice ideas and are very happy with this work.”

with that. Here at Kunst and Ko we made a start on the collection. All the artists here have determined the style of the collection.”

Combine design with sheltered workshops and you get The New Handwriters. A collection of products inspired by the unique handwriting of the artists. In four social workshops, twenty clients(artists) of Lunet zorg worked on a new collection for the social design label Luuxx.

This collection consists of different products that have to do with water, for example towels, swimming trunks, and shower curtains.

In the atelier it is a nice kind of busy.

The clients have a lot of fun, like Ramon: “I think this is a great project.

We have made nice drawings and after a lot of attempts we now have a result.” Ramon shows the pattern he designed. “I made a pattern from ice cubes.” De Raadt explains the project: “They drew patterns around the theme of water during the three workshops that I organized. We began with images and afterwards the clients made associations with those.”

The products are made with the handwriting of the artists as inspiration. Lotte de Raadt: “When I came here for the second time, a client had a box full of small drawings.

I thought that was really beautiful and in that I saw that everyone had their own handwriting, that everyone is unique and I wanted to do something

In order to bring about change in these kinds of products, which were made in the social workshops, Lunet zorg worked with De Raadt. “In four workshops, this has been worked on for six months. The intention is to involve more and more workplaces. I hope to be able to continue this for a while. It would be cool if we could

Interview

A project in a social workspace is, of course, a different kettle of fish to making a collection in your own studio, but it pleases De Raadt: “It was a new experience for me. The workshops are low pressure, but they have worked hard to get everything finished on time. Products could take time here and that was a new insight for me. I have become very used to the fact that a product must be made as efficiently as possible. Day-to-day activities are about creating and not about time. That again offers new possibilities for the collection.”

Dutch Design Awards

Dutch Design Awards (DDA) celebrated the future in its anniversary year. With the dual theme Back to the Future / Be the Future there was lots of attention for both a fresh batch of designers, and the publication of the archives that tell the story of 15 years of the best of Dutch design in the Dutch Design Gallery. With the competition, the Awards Show, a retrospective exhibition and the publication of Dutch Design Today, DDA forms a unique platform for Dutch design.

What if Lab

Rapid developments create challenges for which we do not always have readymade solutions. Designers possess the inventiveness and creativity that form the basis for innovations, changes in modern society and future demands.

What if Lab, developed by Dutch Design Foundation, challenges industry and the design world to offer tangible answers to current issues. Companies and service providers get the opportunity to work closely with professionals in design.

Designers possess the inventiveness and creativity that form the basis for innovations, changes in modern society and future demands.

Trein van morgen

The challenge that NS had set was to design a social intervention for the (social) time spent travelling in the train. NS sought ideas/designs to facilitate passengers getting more out of their travelling time in relation to the other passengers. The designers Jan Pieter Kaptein and Waarmakers were given the opportunity to create their own NS train compartment during DDW to improve the experience of traveling by train. This mockup on the Ketelhuisplein provided a glimpse into the future, but also served to test the various innovations.

Design meets Local Government

If you link designers with the social issues that many municipalities are wrestling with, you may well end up with unorthodox solutions and exceptional cooperative ventures. In the What if Lab ‘local government meets design’ three designers/studios worked on various social themes: CabCommunity (Hannah van Luttervelt), Stack je Money (Studio Tast), GO! Serious game combating obesity (OOOH studio).

Solliance

In order to develop new applications for thin-film solar cells for the SolarSquare Challenge, design studios were asked to reflect on innovative applications for solar film. Studio Tour, Studio Bas Sala and VANTOT were selected to create a design concept for the use of solar power in the new Eindhoven park. The studio’s proposals were on show in the Town Hall. www.solliance.eu

World Design Event

DDW 2017 hosted the first edition of World Design Event (WDE). WDE is focussed on the future of our world and how we can shape this together. It kicked off DDW17 with Antenna - a collaboration with Design Indaba - bringing the world’s most inspiring design graduates to a single stage. WDE’s People’s Pavilion inspired visitors with its unusual approach: a 100% circular building from borrowed materials, to act as the event's main stage for discussion and talks. WDE featured a total of seven embassies for our future and two labsquares, zooming in on food, health, urban transformation, light, energy, data, climate action, intimacy and robots.

People’s Pavilion

The People's Pavilion was WDE’s central meeting place for creative thinkers and do-ers from around the world. The building was designed by bureau SLA & Overtreders W. The designers gave a radical boost to the notion of a circular economy: the pavilion was made with 100% borrowed materials. Materials from suppliers and producers, but also from Eindhoven residents. The People’s Pavilion served as a venue for gatherings, lectures, openings and performances.

Embassy of Intimacy

The Embassy of Intimacy brought together three spheres of influence: the Intimacy of Bodies, the Intimacy of Things, and the Intimacy of Spaces and the areas in which they overlap. The Embassy questioned new intimate connections and searched for an idiom to help design this shapeless but essential state of being.

What impact does digitalisation have on our society? What if we were to transform the virtual or immaterial into physical products? What if we made the intangible real? The innovations in the field of virtual reality and smart home applications are increasing rapidly. What better way to follow this technological progress than in a live experience? This year, we noticed that multiple participants aimed to make the digital more tangible.

MAD Emergent Art Center, Hyperspace Collective & ViolaVirus took you to a virtual fairy-tale desert in the exhibition ‘Manifestations – Will the future design us?’ in the VEEM building. Exhibitors taking part in this exhibition included: Zanne and Dick Janssen from www.ideeenlab.nl who lend Virtual Reality (VR) new meaning with the project Run Away? VR/AR. Their experience took you on a journey similar to that of a refugee, in which all your senses (you experience smells, vibrations and touch) were activated.

Another impressive VR experience was Second Livestock; a project aimed to improve the life of chickens by stimulating an outdoor experience through tiny headsets with a VR application. Second Livestock was part of the exhibition Robotanica by Transnatural in the VDMA. Young talent from the Design Academy Eindhoven (DAE) also dived into the possibilities of the digital world. Unfortunately, Simon Dogger is experiencing for himself what loss of vision does to the perception of emotions.

'Materialising the Internet’ by MU Artspace is a great example of this development. In this exhibition you come to the realisation that the virtual is already completely integrated in our environment. Algorithms can link you to a new love, we can store gifs in our DNA, implant RFID chips in our hands to open the doors to our homes. But, how far do we want things to go?

Participant Lauren McCarthy arouses our awareness for a new reality, in which we casually allow all sorts of intelligent devices into our lives that register everything; for example Amazon’s Echo. What if it was a person that stood in the middle of the living room and experienced everything?

Would we still be as comfortable sharing everything then?

With his Emotion Whisperer application, an app and a visor with built-in camera, he can transform emotions into specific vibrations that the telephone transmits for people with impaired vision. This enables those with impaired vision to understand and receive the additional messages coming from non-verbal communication.

Trends

Trend: The Immaterial Materialized

With ‘Roam the Web: The Collective’ Ymkje Kamphuis is raising awareness among internet users on the way online activity influences our imaging and consequently also our behaviour.

By means of special algorithms, artificial conclusions can be made based on our online behaviour and the website we visit. For example, the advertorials you see on Facebook are based on this information.

During DDW17, visitors were able to experience the virtual world in real life at different locations. Besides that, various new technologies and innovations were being put to the test at the MU, in the VEEM and in the Design Academy Eindhoven.

DDW17

Trend: New Crafts

New colour pigments from ground water rich in iron oxide, new applications for the legacy of the Zuiderzeemuseum, glass samples made from sand from every corner of the world and non-woven construction materials being utilized for interior products; the DDW programme of 2017 included a wealth of innovations in the field of craft.

The exhibition HOW&WOW by the Crafts Council Nederland provided an in-depth insight into the craftsman’s approach to work. They noticed a revival of crafts this year; more appreciation and more innovation.

We noticed two different approaches: designers who focused on unlocking and maintaining old crafts and designers who added a layer of cross-pollination combining new technologies, biomaterials and crafts.

Dutch Design Awards finalist Das Leben Am Haverkamp is an example of the first group. They showed a new interpretation of Zeeland costumes and domestic objects that preserved traditional crafts while reclaiming attention.

Jetske Visser, Kirstie van Noort and Lotte de Raadt showed that manual filtering of ground water produces a deep red (sedimentary) substance called ‘Oer’. This substance gets a new application in the work of these three designers. For example, they used the substance as pigment for their porcelain objects. Another project that pays attention to natural materials is ‘To See a World in a Grain of Sand’ by Atelier NL. For this project, Atelier NL appealed to the citizens of the world to collect sand and send it to them, as it is their dream to map out the sands of the world by means of glass samples.

By doing so, they aim to emphasize the different qualities of the sand locally available for each area as opposed to the commonly used white sand that is getting scarcer by the day. There was more about glass in the exhibition ‘Discover the magic of glass’ curated by Het Nationaal Glasmuseum including work by Christien Meindertsma.

This exhibition aimed to visualize the process of glassblowing and explained how glassblowers and designers work together.

She used her knowledge of ceramics by creating a new approach and combining it with mycelium, a living organism. There are various similarities between the two materials; like clay, mycelium shrinks, is mouldable by hand and eventually baked in an oven to become a sturdy object.

Trends Interview

The Arnhem collective, including Atelier Rick Tegelaar, Klaas Kuiken, Studio Joris de Groot and Mieke van den Hout, got to work with the material Colback that is currently used exclusively in industry, as for example a reinforcement material.

With the exhibition In4nite they demonstrated the possibilities of the material for interior design. Rosalie Bak is living proof that there are more cross-disciplinary connections within craft. Within the project Myco paste she examines the integration of bioorganisms in ceramics.

DDW17

DDW17

Trend: Robotics vs. Mankind

Trends

This year, various exhibitions and designers provided a glimpse into the future of robots in our society. To what extent can technology be integrated in our lives? Will technology take over from people? What is the dividing line between a human and a robot?

There are countless speculations about how robotics could change society. The expectation is that within 30 years the majority of our jobs will have been taken by robots.

The secondment agency for humans and robots Hubot anticipates this development. The exhibition opened its doors under the guise of a secondment agency in the Eindhoven branch of MediaMarkt. Hubot was an initiative by Next Nature Network and it showed sixteen futuristic professions in which robots have not replaced humans, but emphasized that we can strengthen each other through cooperation.

The exhibition Robotanica by Transnatural included the project Tumbleweed by Shlomi Mir; an autonomous robot that collects data in

the most desolate places on earth. This object provides scientists with insights into desert forming and into how factors like climate change, and quickreturns agriculture contribute to this.

The Kickstarter projects Somnox world’s first sleep robot and Hugsy Home are two examples of technology that can improve our lives. Somnox is a cuddly toy to help you fall asleep and stay asleep that radiates sound, breathing rhythms and affection.

Hugsy Home helps to extend the presence of parents in the case of new-born children where the parent cannot be present. Through recording the temperature, heartbeat and breathing rhythm of the parent and playing it back again later, the newborn can be soothed.

The Mind The Step programme, in which projects from three Dutch Universities of Technology are brought together, also incorporated various Robotic projects. Matthijs Otten, a TU Delft graduate, designed an autonomous swarming robot

‘Zebro’, that can comb through areas in search of survivors in the case of (natural) disasters. More techno-logical and robotic innovations could be found in the Klokgebouw at the start-up valley ‘Radius’. Tumble was one of the projects that was showcased there. Tumbleweed strengthens the human-product interaction in a smart home environment. Tumble pulse is a good example of this; an object that facilitates smart lighting and other technology through responding to touch.

Trend: No Waste

Global and local recycling One of the methods for combatting plastic refuse is to empower consumers to recycle it themselves.

Dave Hakkens, a Design Academy graduate, presented the latest version of his Precious Plastic

machine during DDW. This recycling machine offers a solution that can be employed globally. An open source manual is available online, that takes into account universal materials.

Another project that drew a lot of attention was the People’s Pavilion; a 100% borrowed and circular pavilion made possible by loans from manufacturers, suppliers and residents of Eindhoven. The building was designed by Overtreders W and Bureau SLA. After DDW, all the construction materials were returned to the original owners.

(Re)cycling biomaterial To reduce the use of plastic, an increasing number of designers are studying the possibilities of replacing plastic with biomaterials. Guest lecturer Tjeerd Veenhoven guided various students at the Bauhaus Universität Weimar in developing alternative types of materials. Luzie Deubel experimented with biodegradable materials for waterproofing paper. This has resulted in a paper raincoat. Isaac Monté and Doreen Westphal utilised waste from the food industry. Isaac Monté developed organic paper, made from waste leaves from leeks that serves as packaging for vegetables. Doreen

Westphal gave oyster mushroom stubs a new life through producing a vegetarian sausage called Planti15.

Trends Interview

The plastic soup is regularly in the news. A recent report by the World Economic Forum announced that they believe there will likely be more plastic than fish swimming in the sea by 2050.

Now plastic bags are out of vogue and plastic is collected separately in the Netherlands. As well as consumers, designers need to make a difference.

Various Dutch Design Week 2017 participants presented solutions that extend further than just recycling plastic. Waste and reuse in general were important themes.

New perspectives on recycling A number of designers displayed surprising perspectives on recycling.

Simone Post, as part of the EcoOh project, developed new plastic samples from refuse. It was her aim to show the beauty of recycling plastic.

She feels a step forward would be if plastic was sorted by colour in the future, so that it does not just all end up a grey mass. Jessica Hartog has a similar idea. In an inspiring book she incorporated various shapes of colour-sorted recycled plastic. During DDW she presented various panels with her book, which accentuated the aesthetics and rich pallet of colours.

The winner of the HEMA design date competition, Mirjam de Bruijn, offered an alternative for the use of household products, like shampoo and cleaning agents. These products are on average 80% water. Her project Twenty is a proposal to sell the basic ingredients that are later diluted by the consumer.

This reduces the CO2-emission through more effective transport and less packaging waste.
