Dutch Design Week 2020

Due to the pandemie Dutch Design Week 2020 will be exclusively an online event. I attend the online festival with my design of the ‘Urban Nomad’. I revised the design with the knowledge I gained during my Master Design Research I started in 2019. Within the Master I am researching how I can stimulate the relationship between object and consumer. For me, the key of sustainability lies within that relationship. It makes little sense to make products that are made in a sustainable manner but no one wants to keep.

Check out the link to the project and find out about my approach:
