Rietveld Academie (Public & Projects) collaborates with Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven to present Rietveld graduates.
Dutch Design Week (DDW) is all about the design of the future and the future of design. DDW opens up, inspires, shares and connects. During the nine-day event, Eindhoven is completely dedicated to design and covers all possible disciplines and aspects of design. The emphasis is on expertise and talent, experiment, innovation and crossovers. Dutch Design Week is also the platform where we analyse and discuss the design profession as a whole.
The Rietveld Academie is part of a group exhibition. In this exhibition graduation projects are presented from various Dutch and international academies within design related courses as a whole. The exhibition's goal is to emphasise the importance of education and to give the next generation of designers centre stage to a bigger audience during Dutch Design Week.
