There was a healthy dose of pragmatism on the agenda at this year's Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven, with organisers, exhibitors and visitors joining together towards a forward-looking, sustainability-driven common cause.

As we stagger from one global crisis to the next, DDW gives reason to face the future with optimism, not fear, with creative and technological solutions from the fields of architecture and design.

This year, Dutch Design Week (DDW) comes to you with fresh ideas for now for the relevant issues of tomorrow, from Saturday 22 until Sunday 30 October. DDW is a festival that shines a spotlight on the design of the future for the future of design.
