Designing Society

During Dutch Design Week 2024, we designed Designing Society, an exhibition that brought together four initiatives under one roof: World Design Embassies, Maakruimte voor Mooi NL, De Publieke Ontwerppraktijk, and What if Lab.

The exhibition showcased a diverse range of (mainly) social design projects within a clear and structured space. The central visual identity was inspired by the theme of societal evolution, taking the movement of dividing cells as its starting point. This visual metaphor highlights the continuous growth of social initiatives and underscores how design can contribute to the development and transformation of communities.

In partnership with Hofmeijer Dekker Ontwerpers, we developed a spatial design that provided clarity and ensured each project had its own distinct presence. Sustainability was central to the project, with rented and reusable materials, while accessibility was prioritized through tactile maps, a wheelchair-friendly layout, and carefully considered details.

This collaboration created a space for reflection and inspiration, made possible by the contributions of our partners and visitors.

• This year, we had the opportunity to collaborate with Estúdio Campo on the visual communication for the Venice Biennale 2024. This large-scale project encompassed the entire visual identity of the main exhibition, both in the Giardini and the Arsenale.

The team, comprising just three individuals – Paula Tinoco, Roderico and Carolina – from Estúdio Campo and Studio Kader, was responsible for developing a cohesive visual identity. This included the designing of posters, catalogues, animations, signage and promotional materials. The work involved intense research and development of graphic concepts that could dialogue with the curatorial proposal and the Biennale. Coordination with different design and production teams was essential to guarantee the consistency and quality of all the graphic materials.
