Each October, Dutch Design Week transforms Eindhoven into a citywide showcase of bold ideas and creative problem-solving. Over nine days, exhibitions, installations, talks, and workshops explore how design can respond to social, technological, and environmental challenges.
Designers, students, researchers, and companies from the Netherlands and around the world present their work across more than 100 venues, from former industrial spaces and studios to museums and public areas.
Visitors can follow neighborhood routes to discover projects across the city. Highlights often include the Design Academy Eindhoven Graduation Show and the Dutch Design Awards, which spotlight standout work created in the Netherlands.
Some exhibitions are free, while others require a ticket. Most venues are easy to reach on foot or by public transit from Eindhoven Central Station.
