Workshop: Unum - Twined and Twisting
Take a moment to unwind at the end of a busy week of design with a mindfulness workshop. Unum is a workshop which centres wool twining as a medium for connection, reflecting on the history and value of communal work. During the workshop, participants are invited to explore the relationship between body and mind, self and others, past and present, through this ancestral way of working. Over the session you will work hands-on with wool collected from the Kempische Heideschapen which will be integrated into a collective tapestry.

Julia Egermann
Julia Egermann is an artist and designer, currently in her fourth year at the Design Academy Eindhoven. Her work is driven by her interest in who people are, as individuals and societies, in space and in time. Through her projects, Julia seeks to translate her own questioning into shared experiences, provoking others to consider their own identities. Driven by concept, resulting in a variety of material approaches, her work aspires to initiate and facilitate honest, if sometimes difficult, conversations.
Talk: Closing Reflections – Where Do We Go From Here?
A wrap-up and collective reflection on the entire program. This final day is about synthesizing insights from the week’s talks, sharing experiences, and engaging the audience in dialogue about next steps. It’s less about presenting new content and more about making sense of it together: what have we learned about wool, sustainability, and regeneration? And crucially, what questions or actions do we carry forward beyond Dutch Design Week?
Panelists:
Pollyanna Moss (NOOF)
Anna Roos van Wijngaarden (Journalist)
Haiko Huvenaars (Host & Moderator)
Talk: NOOF Talent Spotlight
Showcase 2 - 3 projects our (former) talents are now involved in to understand how impact is made beyond the design table. Often we see talents developing themselves beyond just the practice of design. They get involved with all sorts of social initiatives that are aiming to make the world a bit better through design and fashion. We will invite Anabel Poh (Kantamanto Social Club) and x to our stage to share their stories, experiences, hopes and dreams.

Workshop: Made in Prato: A Textile Literacy Workshop for Designers
This hands-on textile culture workshop invites participants to explore, handle, and reflect on a curated selection of recycled fibres, yarns, and textiles sourced directly from Prato, a global hub for wool recycling and circular textile practices.
During the session, participants will have the opportunity to closely examine these materials, discuss their characteristics collectively, and engage in tactile learning. Together, we will analyse fibre types, yarn structures, and fabric qualities, using both guided insights and open exchange.
Each participant will create their own material datasheets and assemble a small personal textile archive to take home—reflecting the same materials preserved at NOOF. This process not only fosters individual learning but also builds a shared connection to the broader culture of textile reuse and sustainability. The workshop is designed as an open and collaborative space, welcoming diverse questions, experiences, and perspectives. Whether you're a maker, designer, researcher, or simply curious, your input is valuable—come ready to explore, learn, and contribute.

Lottozero
Lottozero is a textile innovation center in Prato, Italy, a city known for its strong textile industry. It is both a laboratory and a cultural space, where designers and artists can experiment with weaving, printing, dyeing, and other textile techniques. The space also hosts exhibitions, residencies, and workshops, creating opportunities for collaboration between local industry and international creatives. Lottozero aims to connect traditional craftsmanship with new design approaches, with a focus on sustainability and cultural exchange.
Talk: Understanding talent development & creative hub infrastructure
A look at the importance of creative infrastructure and talent development in driving the future of sustainable fashion. This day is two-fold: first, a panel on the ecosystem that nurtures young designers (using New Order of Fashion’s lab and the Lottozero Textile Laboratories as key examples), and second, an afternoon dedicated to “talent spotlights” – showcasing emerging designers’ work and perspectives. The main idea is to reflect on why institutions like ours (New Order of Fashion) and our partners exist, what roles they play in a larger network, and how investing in talent and creativity pays off for industry transformation.
