Dutch Invertuals – Radical Minds in Design
For the past 15 years the collective Dutch Invertuals has embraced change as a constant. Led by founder and design director Wendy Plomp, they research emerging cultural, social, and political themes. During the last Dutch Design Week for instance, together with the municipality of Eindhoven, they presented ‘Circles of Universal Language’. It showcased ten designers exploring universal languages—play, sound, art, dance, and nature—as tools for fostering connection. Using the circle as a symbol of unity, their design visions present inclusive, cyclical spaces that could bring Eindhoven communities together.
