The MINI Young Designer Award went to Bart Hess.

Bart Hess is the winner of the Dutch Design Award (DDA) 2011, presented on Saturday, October 22 by Jan-Christian Koenders,Managing Director BMW Group Netherlands, during the Award Show in Muziekgebouw Eindhoven.
The artist shows a very personal and recognisable signature. With his designs, he applies new and existing materials to create innovative designs and seems to tap into new worlds. A perfect presentation in which the tactility of the materials that are used, is transferred in an extraordinary way. His work is sensational, almost dramatic through the use of modern techniques and materials. He creates his own stage and international collaborations with high-profile names such as Lady Gaga, Palais de Tokyo, Iris van Herpen and Nick Knight.
