Master Industrial Design

Master Industrial Design The Master of Arts in Fine Art & Design - Industrial Design programme is a two-year full-time master at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague.

It's a programme for designers who want to use applied design to make a conscious contribution to the world of today and tomorrow. For designers who are keen to hone their creativity in order to work within a complex interplay of factors and find a ‘solution’ in the form of a distinctive and elegant design. For designers looking to operate as professionals in the industrial playing field; who want

to investigate, to question critically and help give it shape. The Master Industrial Design unites the technical and production aspects of industrial design with its substantive, cultural and social significance.

(Re)Shaping Matters: A mini-symposium by Master Industrial Design
Royal Academy of Art, The Hague

Matter is never neutral. What we choose to work with – the body, the scent, the pigment, the wood, the soil, the seed, the story – shapes not only the objects we make, but the questions we are able to ask. Matter shapes what matters to us.

(Re)Shaping matters is a symposium about the conversation between hands and world, between what we make and what makes us.
In the afternoon of 2 April, Master Industrial Design opens its research to the public – to listen, to touch, to smell, to try – to talk with designers, makers, thinkers, and the experts from various fields in a shared afternoon of talks, small workshops and conversation at Kunstbar.

Date: Thursday, April 2nd, 2026 
Location: Kunstbar, Noordeinde 152A, 2514 GR Den Haag
Time: 16:30 - 17:00 Walk in
17:00 - 20:00 Symposium
20:00 - 21:30 Drinks/walk out

We hope to see you there!
