This discussion stays in my mind. It was here some weeks ago. I know some good famous Dutch design but I do not no any Belgium. I'm Dutch and I think the neighbours are much more creative in music and fashion. Gimme some links... please...

From this week's Newsweek (of which more than half of the pages are devoted to design):
"Why the Dutch rule. The Netherlands rocks the design world, thanks both to lavish government support - $40 million a year - and to necessary inventiveness. 'They laid down a grid of irrigation ditches on a swamp' says Netherlands Architecture Institue head Aaron Betsky, 'then turned that into a neat orderly country'".
I was wondering - every western country I know of has some sort of funding for the creative arts, but is there a special program for design in Netherland? $40 million sounds like a lot.

err.. When BXCAR visited me a few days ago I learned Marc Kremers (tex-server) is just as Belgium as kebab is Finnish.
So I am afraid we have to scrap that one.. :(
altho it is one of my favorite sites.
btw. Belgium crew (and London ones..):
As most of you already know, I am looking into having a BD4D here, the 'Winkelhaak' appeared to be very interested (Pascal was very enthousiastic)..
So now I want to see how many Belgians are down... Then I guess we will have to inform the BD4D gods themselves?
