The philosophy of School of Form is rooted in human-centered design, which considers the needs of individuals, communities, and the environment. Our unique program of study, which combines elements of design, humanities and social sciences, has been developed by a team of experts, led by Lidewij Edelkoort, a former Director of the Design Academy Eindhoven and our mentor during the initial years of our operations.

We help our students discover their full creative potential, encourage them to dream big, and teach them how to translate their outrageous ideas into actual products or art objects which improve the quality of life. Students learn not only how to design products, but also how to make them in different technologies, and prepare them for manufacturing. Our future designers also acquire basic business skills and learn how to network with business partners. When they graduate, they are ready to change the world for the better.
