Dutch Invertuals Academy offers extensive input and feedback from tutors, lecturers, and special guests from our Invertual network. You will be supported by a wide range of workshops, lectures, one-to-one video calls, and critical feedback sessions, centered around the theme True Matter.
ROCK
WITH THE
BEST!
Tutors from our vast network of designers, each with their own set of skills and expertise, will guide you through this inspiring journey.
Raw Color
Raw Color is known for their strong visual language. They work across design disciplines to materialise colour by blending the fields of Graphic Design, Photography and Product Design. Raw Color forms daily objects into colorful settings.
Studio Mieke Meijer
Maneuvering between architecture and design, Studio Mieke Meijer creates extraordinary objects for the public and private domain, reflecting the logic of the construction and respecting material properties, while always pushing the limit.
Xandra van der Eijk
As an artist and designer, Xandra connects art with ecology and activism. Incorporating theory, fieldwork, documentation methods and material development, Xandra re-interprets our landscape from a more holistic view, less anthropocentric.
Wendy Plomp
As founder and design director of Dutch Invertuals, Wendy Plomp addresses actual subjects and works on concepts with a collective of design talents. As the driving force behind Dutch Invertuals, Plomp will inspire and enthuse you to use your imaginative powers, to think critically and to make way for a more sustainable future.
“In the tutor group meetings I
felt an enormous intrinsic
motivation to be a part of the
academy adventure
and an urge to create
something that matters”

Daphna Laurens
Daphna and Laurens transform everyday objects into characteristic products, by researching traditions, materials and compositions. Literally being a ‘vormgever’ (a person who gives shape, in Dutch), Daphna and Laurens shape thoughts, objects, products and spaces.
Remco van de Craats - Edhv
Best described as ‘Architects of Identity’, multidisciplinary studio Edhv has slowly migrated from graphic design into much more because of its broad approach to identity design. They maintain a strong balance between commercial work and self-initiated projects, to never stop learning and experimenting.
