Dutch Design Week 2026: R.A.W.

Dutch Design Week (DDW) returns to the essence of design in 2026. Under the theme R.A.W. (Rebel Authentic Worth), DDW embraces the unpolished, exploratory and experimental. A place where designers challenge existing ideas, explore new possibilities and reveal how change takes shape. For nine days, DDW brings together the full breadth of design. Nine-days bursting with creativity, mind-blowing ideas, and celebrations.
