Sina Dyks took part in this inaugural edition, presenting her work within the curated program shaped by Mary Hessing and Toon Lauwen of WOTH Studio. Her contribution formed part of a diverse selection of designers and artists, highlighting contemporary approaches to materiality and design.

The 2023 edition was accompanied by a special WOTH tabloid publication (NL/ENG, 32 pages, full color), produced in conjunction with the festival. Supported by a subsidy from the Municipality of The Hague, Design Passage established itself as a new platform for design in the city, setting the stage for future editions.
