DDW 2026 Participant: Holland Expat Center South & Spiekkleding | Praat Nederlands met me

A quick peek helps you speak

Internationals are often afraid of mispronouncing something, prompting Dutch people to quickly switch to English. Although learning Dutch is not easy, speaking the language is one of the best ways for newcomers to feel at home. So-called spiek (‘speak and cheat’) products lend a helping hand: wearable cheat sheets incorporated into umbrellas, board games, scarves and bags. Holland Expat Center South joined forces with design studio Spiekkleding to develop a series of these spiek products. Scarves and umbrellas feature commonly used phrases in different languages, written out phonetically. At key moments, they remind users of useful Dutch words and phrases, lowering the threshold for actually speaking the language.

Holland Expat Center South (HECS), which provides information and advice to internationals, is based in the province of Noord-Brabant. This non-
profit government organisation supports internationals, their families and employers before, during and after their arrival in the Netherlands, helping them quickly and easily find their way in Brabant. Spiekkleding is a design studio that helps newcomers learn to speak Dutch through clothing and accessories that provide a timely ‘language nudge’ in just the right place.

DDW 2026 Participants: Taiwan Design Research Institute | Island Under Pressure

A vulnerable island grows resilient

Island Under Pressure explores how materials in Taiwan adapt, transform and endure under the pressures of climate change, resource scarcity, industry and geopolitical conditions. The exhibition emerged in response to the limited availability of raw materials and the island’s vulnerability to environmental and climate-related challenges. It brings together designers, researchers, manufacturers and local communities who transform agricultural residues, sediment from areas affected by natural disasters and industrial by-products into new materials and objects. Sustainability is presented not as an ideal for the future, but as a response to the challenges of today. The next step is to make better use of available resources, deepen collaboration with ecological experts, assess the impact on local ecosystems and develop production models that close material loops and contribute to ecological restoration.

Island Under Pressure is an initiative of the Taiwan Design Research Institute (TDRI), Taiwan’s national platform for design research, innovation and international exchange. The exhibition is curated by YenAn Chen, founder and creative director of Atelier YenAn in Taipei, a multidisciplinary studio combining product design, visual communication, moving image and exhibition design, with a focus on materials, industry and local culture.

DDW 2026 Designers : Studio Toer | Under a Firefly Sky

A swarm of light brings a space to life

Studio Toer’s installations are often set in the midst of nature, where the work and its surroundings enhance one another. With an enchanting light installation of moving fireflies, the designers bring this natural sense of vitality
indoors. Rather than imitating nature, they translate its dynamics, rhythms, atmosphere and beauty into an interior setting. Here, light moves like a swarm of fireflies, evoking the magic of a warm summer evening outdoors. While interiors are often static, nature is constantly in motion. The result is a living landscape of light that sparks a sense of wonder, bringing both tranquility and energy to the space.

Castor Bours and Wouter Widdershoven founded Studio Toer in 2011. At their multidisciplinary design studio, every project begins with the freedom to play. Through an exploratory and experimental approach, Studio Toer pushes the technical and aesthetic boundaries of design, creating everything from light installations and objects to interactive experiences and innovative
products.

DDW 2026 Designer: Sofia Karnukaeva | Route

Root Systems that move, flow and grow

For Sofia Karnukaeva, form is never a destination, but a route: a movement that branches out in new directions. Route is a series of objects inspired by movement as a continuous process, in which materials grow into expanding, intersecting forms that remain interconnected without hierarchy, as if they were rhizomes. Resembling these root systems, the tables evoke these interconnected living networks. Each object is cast by hand in aluminium, with the casting process becoming part of the story. The fluidity and behaviour of the material as it is poured largely determines how each object takes shape, moves and grows. Her next step is to work with recycled aluminium and more local production, strengthening the connection between the making process and its surroundings.

Sofia Karnukaeva is an internationally active artist and architect based in Barcelona. Working with cast metal, ceramics and glass, she creates sculptural forms that move between function and narrative. Her architectural background is reflected in her attention to scale, space and the ways in which objects relate to their surroundings.

DDW 2026 Participant : Tjep. | Infinite Scroll - Social Dance

The mechanism scrolls, the evening slows

Five kinetic sculptures are made of brass, polished stainless steel and Corten steel. Driven by mechanisms that appear almost old-fashioned, they take over one of the most automatic gestures of our time, and one of the last things we have yet to outsource: the endless motion of a thumb across a phone screen. A stylus slowly, almost meditatively, swipes across the screen, allowing the robots to interact with an endless stream of AI-generated, neutral faces: a crowd of people who do not exist. Infinite Scroll is a kind of phone hotel, where your phone can temporarily stay and be taken care of when it is no longer in your hand. By letting the machine take over the role of your thumb, your hands are free, leaving you the entire evening for a meal and conversation.

Tjep. is an Amsterdam-based design studio founded by Frank Tjepkema in 2001. Infinite Scroll marks the studio’s 25th anniversary. Tjepkema studied at Design Academy Eindhoven and the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam and works across public space, interiors, collectible design and jewellery – from the entrance gate at Paleis Het Loo to the Oyukio jewellery collection. His work is held in several international museum collections, and he has twice received a Dutch Design Award.

DDW 2026 Designer : Sunggon Moon | Mul-deum

Nature colours our well-being

Mul-deum grew out of a desire to rethink materials and our kinship with nature. At a time when our interiors are finished with chemical paints whose raw materials and production processes remain largely invisible, Sunggon Moon asks whether colour can be sourced directly from local ecosystems and brought into our living environments. By creating dyes and pigments from leaves, flowers, plants and soil, the designer explores how colour can create a more tangible connection between the seasons, the landscape, the origins of materials and the built environment. The project goes beyond simply replacing synthetic materials. After all, a space is more than a functional shell: natural materials, colours and atmosphere can shape how we feel and experience a space. They can make an environment feel calmer or more vibrant, while strengthening our connection to nature. The next step is to gain a deeper understanding of additives, lightfastness, scalability and the impact of harvesting in order to assess the ecological value of these colours.

Designer Sunggon Moon explores how everyday spaces can contribute to healthier and more meaningful experiences. His practice focuses on biobased materials and their application in architecture, interiors and objects. He seeks to create new relationships between people, materials and the natural environment.

DDW 2026 Participant : Prisma Collective | Sobremesa

Traditions meet at the table

The Mexican ritual of staying together at the table after a meal is the starting point for Sobremesa. As the food makes way for conversation, attention and connection, Prisma Collective translates this everyday tradition into a shared spatial experience through a collection of objects made from ceramics, wood and glass. The designers draw renewed attention to traditional local crafts and materials, including the region’s distinctive red clay. In doing so, Prisma Collective brings social and craft traditions together around the table. In a culture increasingly dominated by speed and distraction, Sobremesa highlights the value of slowing down and being consciously present. Here, design becomes a way of keeping an intangible cultural practice alive. The next step is to further develop the collection using local materials, lower- impact production methods and products designed to last.

Prisma Collective is a multidisciplinary design collective from Guadalajara, Mexico, founded by students at ITESO University. Through a collaborative design practice, its members explore the relationships between design, culture and everyday life. The collective creates objects, installations and meaningful experiences that encourage dialogue, connection and cultural exchange.

DDW 2026 Designer : Frederik Rombach & Gregory Alliss | Echoes of Extinction

From pollution to wonder

Waste may seem abundant, but even a waste stream can disappear. The light objects in Echoes of Extinction are made from discarded Bang & Olufsen cathode-ray tubes. As glass CRT screens are no longer produced, this toxic electronic waste is becoming a finite material resource. Frederik Rombach and Gregory Alliss explore how this growing scarcity changes the way we value materials.

Frederik Rombach is an Antwerp-based glass artist, designer and cultural entrepreneur. He is the founder of glass studio Rero Glass and the Green Soda Movement, which explores sustainable applications for post- consumer glass. His work brings together architectural expertise, traditional glassmaking techniques and the creative use of waste streams. Gregory Alliss is a British artist and engineer specialising in kiln casting and cold-working techniques for optical and recycled glass. As part of his practice-based PhD research at Edinburgh College of Art, he explores how highly contaminated waste materials, including discarded cathode- ray tubes, can be transformed into sculptural objects.

DDW 2026 Designer : Fransje Gimbrère | Standing Textile(s)

Textile becomes architecture

A new chapter is unfolding in Fransje Gimbrère’s 3D weaving method, which lifts textiles out of the flat plane and transforms them into selfsup- porting architectural forms. For now, her strong structures still rely on synthetic fibres reinforced with epoxy resin. The question driving the next phase of her research is whether the same spatial and acoustic qualities can be achieved using a single biobased material. Woven experiments with paper-like fibres and natural binders mark a new stage in this exploration. Gimbrère presents these alongside her completed sculptures. Her next step is to develop a compostable alternative to resin, in which both the structure and the binder originate from the same natural source.

Artist and designer Fransje Gimbrère was born in the textile city of Tilburg. Her studio is based at Sectie-C in Eindhoven. She graduated from Design Academy Eindhoven in 2017 with Standing Textile(s), a 3D weaving method that transforms woven textiles into spatial, self-supporting forms. Her practice moves between material research, site-specific spatial installations and large- scale commissions. Her work is exhibited internationally.
