Dutch Design Week '26
CLASS OF '26
The most talented graduates from our Bachelor’s programme Allround Creative Concept Developer will present their graduation projects in Trend Forecasting, Art Direction and Styling & Design during Dutch Design Week 2026 in Eindhoven.
This year, Artemis presents Sensing Futures: a selection of graduation projects in which design is not only seen, but also felt. Moving between physical and digital worlds, the projects show how a new generation of designers translates themes such as mental health, identity, grief, culture and connection into tangible experiences. From interactive objects to fashion and sculpture, each work invites you to look, feel and experience.
Where: Klokgebouw, Eindhoven
When: 17–26 October 2026
Time: daily from 11:00–18:00

Participating alumni
Jenna Bijmoer – Moulded
With Moulded, Jenna Bijmoer explores what happens when diverse bodies are reduced to standard sizes and averages. Starting from the frustration of clothes that never quite fit, the project reveals how sizing influences the way we perceive our bodies and the friction that arises when the body is expected to adapt to the system.
Maud van Stiphout – The Purse Hook
Maud van Stiphout developed PORTÉ, a contemporary purse hook inspired by the one her grandmother always carried with her. Made from stainless steel, the design functions both as a practical object and as a piece of jewellery, reintroducing a small ritual of care and attention for the personal belongings we carry with us.
Meike Buijtels – Neural Maze
With Neural Maze, Meike Buijtels imagines a future in which the fashion industry is no longer driven by seasons and constant renewal. In her 2040 future scenario The Eternal Spring, humans, nature and technology merge, making way for a more intuitive and sustainable way of living and creating. Meike also developed a dress/prototype made from biomaterials, bringing this future vision into a tangible form.
Nikkie van Ooijen – FLÔ
Nikkie van Ooijen developed FLÔ, an interactive installation that translates the user’s heartbeat into vibrations and wave patterns on the surface of water. The work makes an internal bodily rhythm visible and invites the user to pause and reconnect with their own body.
Sidney van Meer – Fluid Boundaries
In Fluid Boundaries, Sidney van Meer approaches the body as a changing landscape within a visual culture that often seeks to define and perfect it. Through photography, transparent layers and organic image manipulation, Sidney shows how the body is constantly moving and transforming, carrying traces of time, experience and emotion.
Sterre Baks – Mama.
Six emotions form the starting point for Mama., Sterre Baks’ film project about the complexity of mother-daughter relationships. Sadness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear and joy are translated into costume, set design and sound without the use of dialogue, creating an ode to a relationship that can be loving, complicated, painful and comforting all at once.
