Groundbreaking product design for the future
Building on a 50-year tradition that helped shape Dutch Design, we emphasize hands-on learning, material experimentation, and provide you the freedom to explore your own creative paths, allowing you to fully develop your unique potential. We encourage questioning design norms, pushing beyond conventional thinking, and embracing bold innovations that meet both local and global needs.
Through practical, hands-on projects, you acquire the skills to design products, systems, and scenarios that balance technical, ecological, and social constraints with imagination, resourcefulness, and responsibility. We view design as a catalyst for participation and agency, engaging people through design rather than encouraging passive consumption.
You'll graduate ready to lead in industry, launch your own ventures, or pursue further study.
My dream is to build a place and set up a community for creatives. At Product Design, dreams are taken seriously."
