another event at the dutch design week. the designhuis (eindhoven’s design museum – some people would even say that it is another playground for lidewij edelkoort, ex-chairwoman design academy) presents a detailed exhibition of works of 180 students from over 30 european design colleges and universities. the good thing: it covers all disciplines that contribute to the creative industry. here is a little selection..lalala – some work, like jon stam‘s curiosity cabinet and joni neelen‘s preparing dreams bed were also exhibited here (and at the design academy graduation show).

karakters by leon de lange (design academy, eindhoven) – its a series of furniture meant to lean against, sit on or lie on. they weight only 7 kilo’s and are made for different arrangements.

some fashion in between – itske van deursen graduated this year at the willem de kooning academie hogeschool rotterdam. her collection was exhibited at modebelofte in the krabbedans, eindhoven. I saw this outfit and I fell in love. itske, you made a matylda outfit.

here is my selection of work from the graduation show at design academy, which is located in the witte dame, eindhoven.

yeah, thesedays it’s very trendy to do a pop-up shop (temporay shops, showrooms – at that time people use to call it guerilla store but now it’s the pop-up shop) or to build a pavilion (like frank o.gehry did for the serpentine gallery). this is another in south bank in london. →
