Een programma als Driving Dutch Design kost veel geld. Gelukkig hebben we een aantal zeer loyale partners waardoor we de kosten voor de deelnemers tot een absoluut minimum kunnen beperken. In aanvulling daarop zoeken de deelnemers per editie sponsors om hun plannen (mee) te realiseren.

At my previous profession I had the privilege to work with factories directly. I often went to the Far East to check on samples and discuss new collections. In a country where they don’t speak your language it is needed to have a translator. I can honestly say that I had the best one.

Despite having the best translator it was difficult to communicate al the designs. Aside from the language, there is also a culture difference that I needed to take into account. In China people don’t want to offend you by saying that they don't understand you. OK OK no problem… doesn’t mean that it is in fact OK. Most of the time it wasn’t 😊. I have learned to communicate with the factories by making adjustments on the spot and checking everything more than twice. Being patient helps.

Even though I have learned a lot and having met a lot of good people, I couldn’t just ignore the waste that such a factory produces. So I decided to start working for myself. Hoping to create models that produce less waste during production, even when they are produced in the Far East.

So this is me. Nice to meet you. This would be the moment where I talk about myself and my background, however I want to try something else.

I would like to ask you to ask me anything you would like to know about me. My background, personal life, my favorite color, if I’m in fact the drummer of PGTW, etc. I will answer every comment as fast as possible (If any comments will be given that is 😊).

Aside from asking me questions, I would like to know you a bit better. Feel free to comment this post and share your relationship with design with me if you want. Through DDD I already met a lot of different designers. Each with their own experiences with design.

Hopefully I will speak to you soon in the comments section.

I have always loved creating new things out of not

I have always loved creating new things out of nothing. It all started with me as a child finding creative solutions to fix my own broken toys.

After “fixing😊” my toys, I wanted to create my own toys. I started sketching, making clay models and using all kinds of materials to visualize my thoughts. Once I was ready I almost immediately destroyed my own creations.

When my dad asked me why I destroyed them I replied that I don’t want it to be finished so that I can keep playing/creating new things making them better every time I start over.

Now as an adult I find my way of working as a young kid very interesting. It turns out that my way of designing has not changed. Using renewable materials and optimizing products for a healthy sustainable future is what I still try to achieve nowadays.

My version of DDD symbolizes the creation of a new product. Starting from nothing and using reusable materials so that we can keep on creating for the future to come.

Hi, my name is @ralfdebruin and this week I will be taking over the Driving Dutch Design Instagram.

I would like to take this opportunity to tell more about my past as a mass production designer. I will highlight the upsides and most importantly the down sides, which have ultimately driven me to start working for myself.

Soon after and with the new found knowledge gained through the DDD masterclasses, Studio Brundal was created. @studio_brundal is founded by me and @lilian_van_daal . With our studio we involve the user emotionally with the product by meeting their intrinsic need. With our empathy for the user we make distinctive and outstanding products.

I’m looking forward to share my journey this week. Feel free to comment and/or ask me anything about my past, present and future ideas.

Many thanks to Driving Dutch Design initiators and partners: @abnamronl @bno.nl @dutchdesignweek @drivingdutchdesign

The DDD program has given me a lot to reflect upon

The DDD program has given me a lot to reflect upon. Especially around my positioning and communication. I always felt challenged by the different “boxes” I did not seem to fit in. The video shows the vision I still support today. Sometimes going through your “old” material gives you the answers you need for the future.

The Masterclass of Astrid de Craen gave me the tools to get insight into the identity of my studio. Filtering out what is irrelevant and getting very close to the core message I as a designer want to bring.

Her identity model called “message house”, resembles a house, whereas the roof stands for your main vision and the 3 pillars supporting this roof indicate how you give form to this vision. The foundation is the actual final project / creation. I will recommend everyone to try this for themselves. It might give you a struggle at first as it is not that easy to answer. Over time it sticks in your head and through reflection I think you will get closer to your answer.

For now, I want to say goodbye and thank you for reading my sometimes very long messages. It was great to be able to share about my work and hope to meet again.

Another example of a project I am working on is called “Aiki”. Aiki is a Japanese term for movement of the inner-breath.

Aiki is a cuddle with a rhythm based on a breathing belly. The breath becomes a tool to teach children to have agency on their experience in a medical context.

I believe learning from a young age to have awareness of and connecting with your inner-strength can support you through challenging moments.

Currently, I am doing the Social Design Master at DAE. Here, I got in touch with bio-based materials. Its biological origin and opportunities have striked me with a lot of inspiration. It made me rethink what I define as mental health and its actors. I am researching how I can bring these seemingly separate fields together. Assuming that the materials we interact with on a daily basis can bring us more than being of practical use. As an example I am working with a natural weaver made out of bacteria “cellulose”. This organic material has many opportunities to perhaps replace plastics and even as a non-animal based leather. Several designers have been working with this material in regard to packaging and its potential role within the fashion industry. I see the acceptance of us the consumer, as the biggest challenge of adoption of these bio-based materials.

My project haylē morphē, which literally means “nature shapes its own form”, is exploring what we nowadays consider as being nature. In a local park in Berlin I have placed the sheet in the form of a rug, aiming to observe how the passer-by responds to being confronted with the unexpected. My research is explained on my website (www.studiouncoated.com) and the result of this film comes out soon.

I believe in the strength of having empathy for your vulnerabilities. For me, empathy starts with being kind to yourself. Only then are you able to share it with other people and perhaps even with organisms.

I notice that in our current western society our daily emotional struggles are underrepresented in the media. We seemingly need to hide “our vulnerabilities” and deep rooted emotions. But aren’t those same emotions and bodily awarenesses’ not exactly the most beautiful ones? Making us human and connecting us to others through sharing about it?

My designs consist of sensorial triggers, made to guide us to a manner of reconnecting to the Self. Whereby the eventual aim is to connect body, mind and perhaps even the soul.

Friend and photographer Martin Sweers made this photo of me. During the shoot I felt miserable, being deeply challenged by whether my work is on the right path and wondering what my next step would be. Trusting my friend and enjoying the moment made me shift my doubts into a deep feeling of trust. Since then the most incredible things have happened to me. It showed me a big lesson to stay humble and to not think you can control anything in life.

Timothy Morton -

“It isn’t hard to love nature in it’s awe inspiring beautiful landscapes. It is far harder to love the disturbing, disgusting beings who do not wear a human face”.

The letters "D" are grown by living bacteria called Acetobacter bacteria. These bacteria are able with the help of oxygen to transform ethanol (alcohol) into acetic acid (vinegar) substances. Throughout a process of three weeks, I nurture the bacteria with the right environment to produce its Funghi sheet called “cellulose-based biofilm”.

This organism is a natural protector of the bacteria, oxygen is their living power to grow. Air is something vital for our survival but we also share it with other organisms. These organisms are not visible to our naked eye but play a relevant role in the health of our ecosystem. I believe there is much we can learn from them. How can we make their role more prominent by observing non-human organisms in our research around improving the human mental health?

It made me become fascinated by the power of the breath on the wellbeing of our body. With our breath, we control several mechanisms in our body. One is our nervous system. We can relax our body through the power of the breath. It is one of the only bodily mechanisms that we as humans can influence. So why don’t we use it more often?

DDD is a moment for me to reflect and discover how my designs around the “intangible”, can be translated in a professional context. Thereby, deciphering the next steps I would like to take with my studio. I am truly humble and grateful to be part of this program thanks to

Hello everyone, I am Josephine from Studio Uncoat

The Art of Storytelling van Paul Hughes was één

The Art of Storytelling van Paul Hughes was één van de tofste en meest leerzame masterclasses die we volgden tijdens DDD. Hoe presenteer jij je als ontwerper? In een brainstormsessie daagde Paul ons uit na te denken over onze ‘Doesness’. Deze masterclass is
ons het meeste bijgebleven. Aan ons om alle nieuwe inzichten verder uit te werken tijdens ons DDD traject. Let's go!

Soms ontdek je een verhaal dat verteld moet worden

Soms ontdek je een verhaal dat verteld moet worden en kom je terecht in een nieuwe wereld. Zo volgde we vier jaar lang drone racer Ghetto Dino. In de documentaire staat hij voor een lastige keuze. Kiest hij voor zijn passie of toch voor de zekerheid die zijn baan hem biedt? De documentaire is in première gegaan op 2doc.nl.

Als videoagency maken wij films voor merken en org

Als videoagency maken wij films voor merken en organisaties. Wij werken in opdracht en gaan op zoek naar projecten die ons inspireren. Samen met CLEVER°FRANKE maakten we de documentaire Cirque Du Data. Hoe kan data een positieve rol spelen in ons toekomstige stadsleven, waarbij het belang van de burger centraal staat? Kunstinstallaties, datavisualisaties en een ‘circusachtige datashow’ maken het onzichtbare van onze stad zichtbaar.

Als studio zijn wij gefascineerd in wat mensen drijft en hoe ze dit doen ten opzichte van hun omgeving. We vinden het interessant om vanuit het menselijke perspectief een verhaal te vertellen. Een verhaal dat zorgt voor herkenning. We zetten deze verhalen om in bewegende beelden die zorgen voor impact.
