Association of Dutch Designers

The world today is evolving at dizzying speed. In an increasingly digitised society, boundaries between disciplines are fading while new disciplines emerge, and once distant domains are becoming increasingly entwined. The creative industry has been designated a top sector: the design discipline has become indispensable, with designers playing a crucial role in tackling the many issues tied to sustainability, health and social provisions.

The Association of Dutch Designers (Beroepsorganisatie Nederlandse Ontwerpers, BNO) stands in the midst of this evolving world. As the principal representative of the design sector in the Netherlands, it unites designers of all shapes and sizes. They are independent designers as well as design agencies, along with thousands of creative professionals. Virtually all design disciplines are represented in BNO, making it a unique organisation worldwide.
