The European Institute on Design and Disability

The founding philosophy of the Institute has always been embedded in design-for-all, a philosophy which aims to improve the life of everyone through design.

”Good design enables, bad design disables”. That is the motto of the European Design for All declaration adopted on 9 May 2004 in Stockholm.


EIDD is a voluntary organisation. It is the 'umbrella' for national organisations whose members include architects, product, graphic and interior designers as well as professionals concerned with rehabilitation.
