About us

Curiously exploring

Platform21 is a platform for people curious about the future. An old, round chapel in Amsterdam is our public design laboratory. Here we organise exhibitions, lectures and other events.

To us, design is a vehicle to dream about the future. What is possible, what will change and where lay the most exciting creative challenges? Every new project starts from a recent theme. This can be the future of the car or the possibilities of a technique like folding. Within such a theme we ask designers, artists, architects and scientists for a creative contribution. Existing works are combined with work in progress. Platform21 thus functions as an international meeting place, real and virtual, where professionals, amateurs and public inspire each other.

Would you like to know more, do you have a question or a suggestion? Please send an e-mail to [ info@platform21]. We like to hear from you.
