DUTCH DESIGN W E E K

2012OCTOBER

Floriane Misslin

I really enjoyed the DDW.It was for me a way to discover Eindhoven and all the places hidden behind these big old buildings. Eindhoven fascinate me for this; all the ateliers which are occuped by students, old students, desi-gners, artists... There are so much places out of the Design Academy where the creation is still living! These places definitely create this atmosphere so specific to Eindhoven. And the DDW show it even more.It was amazing to observe all the projects of all this different people who are working about the future, trying to find solution... It was also nice to realise how different are all the works. Not only in the Graduation Show, everywhere in the atelier, there are people working on furnitures, decorations, graphic design, but also on creating new materials, architectures, animation movie, process of creation, videos, photos, performances... All mediums and supports who can help each other to express his idea. All these differences build the dyniamism of the creation here. And I'm defi-netly very happy to be here, in Eindhoven.
