De Straat Makers

— Join us for Dutch Design Week!

For our newest project, De Straat Makers, we are collecting soil from all across Eindhoven in order to know more about this city and the people who make it unique. Rooted in the idea of local identity and a shared value of place, this colourful archive needs your contribution for DDW2019! Dig some soil from your backyard, a forest, a park or any other favourite place, and explain what makes it special. Fill a jam jar and upload your story before the 8th of October to www.aworldofsand/eindhoven. 

Collectively, our stories make the city what it is today.
