Intergenerational Graduation Show

Design Academy Eindhoven, formerly known as Academie voor Industriele Vormgeving Eindhoven, is proud to present a very special edition of its annual graduation show in Milan. From 7-12 June 2022, with this year’s Intergenerational Graduation Show, the Academy is celebrating its 75th anniversary!

Bringing together original graduation works from 75 years of DAE’s existence, the show highlights not only the excellence and creativity which students and alumni have brought to the field, but also the ways in which design itself has transformed and adapted across the decades.

The exhibition will feature the original graduation pieces from alumni, with a particular focus on a diverse mix of generations, mediums and materials. Rather than presenting the history of DAE as an archive, the exhibition team has put an associative curatorial approach around the materialities of projects at the centre of the show, and developed an exhibition which allows for associations to unfold and surprises to pop up! Expect a diverse collection of over 150 celebrated and unexpected projects!

CELEBRATION AND PRESS EVENT: 10 JUNE

If you're in Milan during the Salone, please join us for a festive moment on Friday 10 June! In collaboration with Dutch Design Foundation, we'll be celebrating with activations of the show, drinks and snacks. All alumni of Design Academy Eindhoven are invited to join us from 19:00h, for a special edition of DAE's annual alumni gathering. We're excited to catch up with alumni from across the decades.

Members of the press and invited guests will get the chance to follow an exclusive tour through the exhibition with the curatorial team, at 16:00h. This is an in-person event.
