About

De Daily Whatever
De Daily Whatever was founded in 2006, as a free and independent newspaper. The newspaper was being produced ‘on the spot’ during the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven. The main motivation for starting up the newspaper was to inform the public on design topics and to stimulate the local design climate by bringing exciting theory and hereby provoking debate.

Dutch Design Week
The Dutch Design Week is an ever growing design manifestation, that is rooted in and around Eindhoven’s centre. The program offers a huge array of expositions, lectures, workshops, presentations and parties, from high brow to low brow, and from independent designers initiatives to corporate agency presentations. It is estimated that around 80.000 people visit Eindhoven during the Dutch Design Week. The city of Eindhoven has a very ambitious design policy and is in the running for the European design capital title of 2012.

Editors

This years edition of the Daily Whatever is being edited by Hugo Naber and Eric de Haas, with the kind assistance of Lucas van Hapert. Both Hugo Naber and Eric de Haas work as independent designers, with a strong focus on typography, editorial work and a love for print. Lucas van Hapert is a last year student at the Utrecht art academy and worked as an intern with Eric.

Partners
This year De Daily Whatever was invited by the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven to be part of the Take On Me (Take Me On) exhibition during the Dutch Design Week. The newspaper will be produced on this location. Designer Bob Copray was asked to shape the room, he designed custom furniture for all aspects of the newspaper making process. We are also very pleased to present  a partnership with Hexaplex, Amsterdam based designers (Cheryl Gallaway & Micha Bakker), who have designed and produced the online De Daily Whatever.
