Dutch Design Week kicked off in Eindhoven over the weekend, with over 600 exhibitions and events taking place across the city as part of the week-long festival. The theme this year is "stretch," with initiatives exploring cutting-edge sustainable design, the role of robots and the future of flexible living. Projects range from shingles made of waste plastic to jackets created from self-growing textiles; from an Embassy of Robot Love to a small robotic firefly; from paint made out of fungus to a hotel that incorporates individual users’ wishes designed by MVRDV.
