Dutch designers Yearbook 2023-2024

Every year, the BNO publishes the Dd Yearbook. Dd’2-24 both looks back on the past design year and looks forward to the future. The yearbook consists of essays and interviews, striking graduation work from Dutch design schools, award-winning work and portraits of trendsetting design heroes.

This year, the focus is on ‘naturing’: on the collaboration of designers with nature or natural processes. This refers to more than just designing with natural materials. The book mainly includes projects that show actual collaborations between designers and nature or natural processes.

In this issue, the BNO asks not only how designers see the world of tomorrow, but also how they can help formulate answers to the environmental, social and economic challenges the world is facing. Will things stay the same, or will we make room for innovation and, by extension, nature?
