Festival identity design for Dutch Design Week (DDW) 2019.

Festival Branding

Campaign concept and design for the Dutch Design Week 2019. With the chosen theme If not now, then when? for Dutch Design Week 2019, Dutch Design Foundation (DDF) literally put out a call to action to everybody to wait no longer but to take action NOW and design the future.

DDW concentrates on the design of the future and the future of design.

 

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 our objective to show how designers from around the world shape a positive future and to strengthen the position and meaning of Dutch designers.
