Mission & Foundation
We are The Student Store. An independent nonprofit infrastructure built to close the gap between creative education and professional practice.
Digital Platform
A centralised, student-run marketplace. We handle payments, logistics, and curation, allowing students to sell their work globally without the overhead of running a solo business.
Physical Presence
Pop-up stores at major design events (DDW, Milan, etc.). We bring student work directly to collectors and industry professionals, creating tangible visibility.
Knowledge Engine
We don't just sell; we educate. Through workshops and peer-to-peer mentorship, we teach pricing, production, and professional practice skills not covered in the curriculum.
Governance Structure
The Student Store is a registered Independent Dutch Nonprofit Foundation (Stichting). We are student-led and mission-driven.
- Student Board: Daily operations and curation.
- Advisory Council: Industry experts providing strategic oversight.
- Transparency: All surplus revenue is reinvested into grants and student tooling.
