'''Dutch Design Week''' (also known as '''DDW''') is an event about Dutch design, hosted in [[Eindhoven]], [[Netherlands]]. The event takes place around the last week of October and is a nine-day event with exhibitions, studio visits, workshops, seminars, and parties across the city.

The event hosts companies including [[Philips]], [[Philips Design]] and [[DAF Trucks|DAF]], as well as the [[Design Academy Eindhoven]] and the [[Eindhoven University of Technology]].

The initiative began in 2002 as a [[non-commercial]] fair and by 2018 had 355,000 visitors.{{citation needed|date=August 2023}}

The DDW consists of around 120 venues. The main venues during the event are among others the [[Klokgebouw]] ([[Strijp-S]]), [[Design Academy Eindhoven]] and the [[Faculty of Industrial Design]] at the [[Eindhoven University of Technology]], where successful and well-visited expositions are organized.

Whereas the main goal remains to create a non-commercial event, many [[conflicts of interest]] and the rapid growth did contribute to a more commercial approach since 2007.

Pop venue [[Effenaar]] and classical music venue [[Muziekgebouw Frits Philips]] both organize the musical program '''DDW Music''' around the festival with live performances as well as exhibitions related to [[experimental musical instrument]]s, [[sound art]] and [[sound installation]]s.

Dutch Design Week 2020 was an online-only event. A digital festival, initially planned to work alongside a programme of studio tours and socially distanced activities, became the centrepiece of the festival as all physical events had been cancelled due to a rise in coronavirus cases in the city.<ref>{{cite web
