— YKSI EXPO

Designers come up with solutions, create innovations, are pioneers, make things tangible and functional. They look at their surroundings and the world in a unique way and always ask themselves: “How could it be different, better?” This leads to numerous authentic and surprising answers. 'It is up to us to embrace and stimulate these creative solutions. Together we determine what the world will look like. Now it is our turn. If not, whose turn is it?’ That is how organizing director Martijn Paulen of the Dutch Design Week addresses the visitors.
At Yksi Expo, in the heart of this event, you can marvel at the concepts and ideas that designers bring forth. Or ask yourself new questions and get inspiration for your own answers - for current topics like sustainability, circular design and social design.
