The Designhuis is a cultural centre that connects people & ideas towards a better world, empowering a more participative society driven by design thinking. In October 2007, The Designhuis opened its doors for the public for the first time in October 2007, led by Lidewij Edelkoort (2007-2009), and later on Leonne Cuppen (2010) and Het Nieuwe Instituut (2011-2014). With a portfolio of activities and exhibitions of world class, this institute became a platform and meeting spot for Design and innovation, and where Design is connected to Art and Technology.

It will open its doors in a permanent basis on the last quartile of 2015, led by Jorge Alves Lino and Remco van de Craats.
