Company Member
Are you curious about how you can provide your team with inspiration, new perspectives and contact with other enthusiasts? With a Company Membership, you can give your colleagues access to the Nieuwe Instituut – the place where design, innovation and social themes meet. Whether you work in architecture, design, culture or another sector, the Nieuwe Instituut will keep you up to date with new developments and give you the space to think ahead.
What is the Company Membership?
With a Company Membership, your organisation becomes a friend of the Nieuwe Insituut. In this way, you support the Nieuwe Instituut in our mission to make architecture, design and digital culture accessible to everyone.
For only €350 per year, you will receive a package of 10 personal passes. Would you prefer to include more colleagues? No problem: each additional pass costs just €25 per employee (a regular membership is €45). So it’s easy to build a team that’s actively engaged with the designers of the future.
Any employee with a personal pass can enjoy all the benefits of membership.
- Free entrance to the Nieuwe Instituut and Sonneveld House.
- Invitations to special events for Members only.
- Priority for special events such as exhibition previews.
- Up to 10% discount at NAi Booksellers, excluding books from Dutch publishers due to the Fixed Book Price Act.
- 10% discount on Volume magazine published by Archis.
- 25% discount on coffee and tea at the Nieuwe Café.
- Meet an inspiring network of enthusiasts and professionals.
In other words, an accessible way to encourage colleagues - especially new recruits - to get out and about, gain knowledge and network with other professionals.
Personalised or general?
You can choose personal passes in your name, or general passes to be shared by your team. We recommend personal passes: they allow us to invite your colleagues directly to events, send them newsletters and actively involve them in the programme.
Why join?
The Company Membership is more than just an entrance ticket. It’s an investment in your team and a show of support for a cultural institution that is committed to the future of design and society. Your employees will be given the space to be surprised and inspired, while sharing new knowledge with your organisation.
