    Vburo, I think its really interesting that government but also company in holland invest in design, and more important, in young creators.

    I was in milano for the salone and I was impressed by the work of design accademy eindhoven and collection of brands like mooi.
    It seems that they like the challenge and they take the risk to invest in new ideas..

    In italy is the opposite, there are many good young designer but companies and institution doesnt care.. for instance during the salone week in the Triennale (the main Design museum of milano) there were 4 exhibition:
    Enzo Mari (age 73)
    Alessandro Mendini (74)
    Ettore sottsass (88)
    Gaetano Pesce (66)

    I mean big respect to their work, but there are many other young designer who deserves some more attention...

    so... go dutches!!
