OPEN SET

Design platform: knowledge development programmes

Open Set is an independent education platform that promotes the social relevance of design and visual culture. We bring together leading figures from design and adjacent fields in order to expand the dialogue on the most important themes in current theory and practice.

Designed to enrich an active studio practice or ongoing education, our programmes are aimed at makers and thinkers that dare to disrupt traditional definitions and methodologies who seek a deeper understanding of emergent discourses, and those who want to take their work in new, unexpected directions.

Open Set connects the visions of designers with partners, presentation platforms, and audiences. Over 300 participants and more than 50 Open Set tutors have contributed to programmes in the Netherlands and abroad.
