A call for less: less consumption, less production, and therefore less waste. And where less isn't possible? More better: more sustainable products with more value, so that consumers deal with products differently. That is what Dutch Design Week 2021 (DDW21), taking place from 16 to 24 October in Eindhoven, is all about. On the overarching theme of The Greater Number, looking for renewed value between consumer and product is key. ArtEZ translates the quest for the better number into various projects, expositions and research.

The Greater Number - a quest for the better number

For 2021, Dutch Design Week (DDW) has chosen the overarching theme of 'The Greater Number', the quest for the better number. With this theme, DDW on the one hand calls for less. Less consumption, less production, and therefore less waste. And where less isn't possible, more better. In other words, more sustainable products with more value, so that consumers deal with products differently. The theme is about striving to change the behaviour of consumers and manufacturers. By looking for renewed value between consumer and product, we can move towards changes in design practices.
