Key Facts

Ever wondered how IKEA managed to become the largest and most popular furniture retailer in the world? Well, it might have had something to do with the fact they let groups of users share their experience of the products and create sustainable furniture to suit their needs. 

Co-creation has become a reality for every professional designer. And it’s second nature to our IDE students at The Hague University of Applied Sciences (THUAS). Anyone can come up with a ground-breaking idea. But IDE teaches you to funnel your creativity by collaborating with all stakeholders, taking ethics and other cultures into account and making a positive impact with the launch of your project.

 By following the same steps with every design project, you will feel more and more confident. Every time you will be working on something completely different. From a funny toilet roll holder to a new playground equipment for a school yard. Or an interactive table to make grid congestion visible and understandable. You could also come up with a solution for waste in the canals based on how things work in nature (biomimicry).
