Design Passage

Design Passage is an initiative of Embassies of Design Foundation and WOTH Studio, The festival builds on the ideas of Festival Designkwartier The Hague, which organized successful annual festivals in the Zeeheldenkwartier between 2013 and 2018.

Over fifty participants and more than 3300 visitors enjoyed the very first edition of Design Passage on the top floors of The Passage The Hague in 2023. In 2025 we move on to an exciting new venue; the former telephone exchange.

In October 2023, a special WOTH tabloid (Dutch/English, 32 pages, color) was published by Design Passage. This year, we will be producing another WOTH special! The festival is supported by a subsidy from the Municipality of The Hague. Presentations are curated by Mary Hessing and Toon Lauwen of WOTH Studio.
