9 Things at the Dutch Design Week

I'm planning to visit the Dutch Design Week, at the end of the week. As a seven-time participant, I know the festival and the structure of the city of Eindhoven well. Visiting the Dutch Design Week needs preparation... There are around 1500 designers and organizations who want to show you their latest designs or innovations. To prepare for my visit I went through the listing and selected nine venues/shows I want to see. I've ordered them by area.

When you go to Eindhoven, rent a bike, it will give you extreme flexibility and the possibility to see multiple locations in one day. Know that there isn't really an evening program, but there are a lot of late-night parties. Ask around. Have fun!
