We Will Design
We Will Design is a large-scale experimental lab that welcomes and promotes projects by emerging designers from around the world, alongside schools, universities, international institutions, and students.
It’s a year-round journey of residencies and international exchanges, where design practices and experiences become tools to interpret—and sometimes address—the many contradictions of our present.
A testing ground for projects that come to life and meet the public during Design Week.
And this year, it aims to weave connections between humans, non-humans, and more-than-humans through the theme Making Kin.
We are madly in love with design: that’s why we created in–depth, the monthly newsletter dedicated to everything happening in the world of design.
ALL ISSUES:
ISSUE #09. Tangled Rituals, Urban Choreographies
Architecture that cooks, listens, and grows in public.
ISSUE #07. What stories make worlds, what worlds make stories.
We’re ready to Make Kin with in–depth’s special edition for Design Week 2025.
ISSUE #06. Beyond the Human
Spoiler alert: sea creatures, flowers and digital praying. Who's joining Design Week 2025?
ISSUE #05. The inspiration continues
We set new deadlines, new opportunities, new resolutions: to make kin.
ISSUE #04. We've been at Dutch Design Week!
We love design so much, we follow it wherever it leads. From Eindhoven to BASE, it’s a journey brimming with inspiration that will culminate at We Will Design during Milano Design Week 2025.

Design can help us understand the present
and shape the future.
A year-round program of residencies and international exchanges, where design practices and experiences become tools to read—and at times resolve—the contradictions of our time.
