Talks & Streams: 25 October

DDW TV

For starters…

We start off each day with ‘For starters...’, a programme in which design journalist and connoisseur Jeroen Junte (Editor in Chief DesignDigger) will talk with emerging talents and familiar faces from the design field.The physical DDW may not take place, but Jeroen ensures that all Design Areas still make an appearance. For example, Bernhard Lenger will join on behalf of Campina, Lucas de Man on behalf of Strijp-S, Piet Hein Eek on behalf of Strijp T+R and so on. Of course, there is also plenty of room for the virtual programme. As a committee member of Dutch Design Awards, Jeroen will also give a daily wake-up call to the DDA winner of the previous day. Furthermore, in this episode designer Tjeerd Veenhoven is interviewed about his participation in What if Lab: The Circular Station, for which he uses natural materials from the railway's surroundings as building material, and his collaboration with Welling Architects for Het Natuurlijke Station. In short, a dynamic start to your online DDW visit!

DAE: The Arena - Abandoning Nature?

Our relationship with nature and its resources has withered. Shaped by a self-centered social order, the language of legislature, consumer products and media have led us down a path towards indifference and panic. Through techniques of unveiling hidden values and storytelling, how can design help us gain vital knowledge of the complexities of nature, and rekindle a long lost bond?

Class of 2020

Dutch Design Week invited all Dutch design schools to put together an exhibition on the theme of The New Intimacy. Each school approached this in its own way. Some chose to curate a special new expo and others more a collection of graudates. All exhibitions together show the unique and high quality of Dutch design education. Each school has its own emphasis, its own signature, and that is reflected in the exhibition. When the physical DDW stopped, five of the participating schools decided to show their physical installation in the schools. In the upcoming videos you will see that work passes by, with explanations by students and curators.

DDW Talks: Sustainable Products

Design is partly to blame for an over-abundance of products in our lives, but it can also offer a solution. Can sustainable materials help us build a better future? And what makes a product sustainable? During this years edition of the Sustainable Products Talk we focus on glass: from both a material, product and consumer stand point, and invite you for a one hour TV show to delve into the life cycles of glass, its ever more scarce component sand, and our relationship to it. Widely advertised as a better choice than plastics, but really how sustainable is glass? A programme by DDW in collaboration with content partner New Material Award and media partner Elle Decoration.
