Dutch Design Week 2018 shows vison of the future

The 17th edition of DDW was all about the theme 'If not us, then who?', a tribute to designers. They think up solutions, create innovations, are pioneers, make things tangible and functional. It is up to us all to embrace and stimulate these creative solutions. Together we decide how the world will look. 

Ambassadors

Ravi Naidoo (Design Indaba), Laurens van den Acker (Renault) and Wendy Plomp (Dutch Invertuals) were the ambassadors of the 17th Dutch Design Week (DDW). The ambassadors deployed their network to create links, function as a sounding board for participants and visitors, and initiated special activities during the week.
