Dutch Design Week is a special event, where you can spot boundary-pushing makers and alternative designers you won’t spot anywhere else. Since we started covering the event, we have featured a number of innovative and unique lighting and furniture designs that showcase material innovations as well as utilize modern technologies like 3D printing. Mick Simmering of Noord see Lights told Homecrux, “It’s all about the conceptual and the experimental.” He further adds that Dutch Design now leans harder than ever into sustainability, circularity, and social impact.
If you are interested in what the design event had to showcase this year, we would like to present you with 10+ best furniture and lighting innovations we have spotted at the 2025 Dutch Design Week. Keep reading to know more:
