Dutch Design Week 2022 has begun!

So much to see, and only nine days! We'll help you find your way in each newsletter. This time in the spotlight:

• What if you saw people's growth as revenue for your furniture line instead of money? That's Skôn! (Piet Hein Eek)
• Designers with the power to change! On the Secrid Talent Podium you will find eleven designers with a sustainable and holistic view of product design. Also sign up for the Secrid Talent Podium LIVE Talk.
• Heat batteries, the development of an artificial womb. You can see this and much more at the exhibition of Technical University Eindhoven: Drivers of Change (Ketelhuisplein).
• On the TU Eindhoven site itself, Pakhuis de Zwijger and TU/e join forces to create programs on designing cities: Designing Cities for All.
• DDW Young: children and teenagers are the makers of the future. We compiled a list of tips for children from 6 to 11 and teenagers from 12 to 17.
• Going to Dutch Design Week for the first time? Thisiseindhoven.com made the mini-guide 'Dutch Design Week for beginners', full of handy tips and hotspots like Klokgebouw (Strijp-S), the DAE Graduation Show (Microtuin) and Piet Hein Eek (Strijp-R)!

This year, Catawiki, together with Dutch Design Week, is again organizing an auction of contemporary and iconic work by various prominent and emerging DDW designers. With work by VANTOT, Teun Zwets, THE EMPTY DINNER, Michela Castagnaro, Alice Pandolfo, Ontwerpduo, Dae Uk Kim, Rive Shohan and Leo Maher. The DDW x Catawiki auction runs from October 17-30. Place your bids now on Catawiki.com!

For the past three years, we have organised an extensive DDW Talks programme, curated in collaboration with our partners. During the DDW Talks, we investigate the many facets of design through eight different themes. Find the theme that fits your line of work and buy a ticket for one of the DDW Talks!

Lessons Learned is a podcast by Dutch Design Week and ArchDaily. In each episode we pair young design talents with seasoned designers to further their practice and help them learn from the mistakes of the past.

• Listen to the podcast with Marjan van Aubel and Fides Lapidaire.
• Listen to the podcast with Formafantasma and Alisha Phichitsingh.
