Dutch Design Week 2020; The largest virtual design event ever.

Festival Branding

It has been quite a ride but in the end, we did it again; an all-new identity design for the 2020 Dutch Design Week. We started the assignment in January, thinking we would be working towards another gigantic physical design festival in October. Alas, the Coronavirus messed up everything. It made this edition one of the most challenging thus far, for us and everyone involved.

The Dutch Design Foundation is an amazing organisation, that acts and adapts like no other organisation can. So they made it happen! The DDW20 edition is truly groundbreaking, it is the largest virtual design event ever, showcasing awesome projects from designers around the globe. Visitors can enjoy over 500 unique digital exhibitions online, explore 3D viewing rooms, watch live streams and chat with designers worldwide.

Check it all out on DDW.NL. 17-25 October 2020. #DDW20 #THENEWINTIMACY

About DDW:
Normally in October of each year, Dutch Design Week (DDW) takes place in Eindhoven. The biggest design event in Northern Europe presents work and ideas of more than 2600 designers to more than 350,000 visitors from home and abroad. In more than 110 locations across the city, DDW organizes and facilitates exhibitions, lectures, prize ceremonies, networking events, debates and festivities.

Although during the event every imaginable discipline and aspect of design is on offer, the emphasis is on experiment, innovation and cross-overs. Exceptional attention each year goes to work and development of young talent.

DDW concentrates on the design of the future and the future of design. It is their objective to show how designers from around the world shape a positive future and to strengthen the position and meaning of Dutch designers.

This year Dutch Design Week goes completely virtual. You can join livestreams, explore 3D Viewing Rooms and get in touch with designers from all over the world.
