About us

Curiously exploring

Platform21 is a design platform aiming to positively influence the relationship between user and product.

Through our projects we question today’s society, connect amateur and professional creativity, reveal the making process, and stimulate dialogue and the sharing of creative knowledge.
We believe that showing and sharing the process of creation is a powerful way to engage a broad audience in divers aspects of design. It opens up the assumption that design is a professionals’ creative discipline only.

Since 2006 we have been using a former, round chapel in Amsterdam as our public laboratory. Here we have initiated and organised exhibitions, research projects, workshops, lectures, discussions and club nights.

You are invited.
