eh... 'you crazy dutch bastards' know you're the best designers out there.
Everything from your neck of the world is ALWAYS gorgeous.
Link me to as many dutch graphic design firms - books - furniture... eh whatever!
here's a book I'm told is supposed to rock - http://www.phaidon.com/phaidon/2…
- anyone have it or have checked it out?

I'll give a heave ho to that notion with the Dutchies, but the Swedes and the Italianos don't do too bad either. Depends I guess what design you're talking.

Fasle Flat pretty much covers everything.
and as for us being 'the best'.. hmm.. design is so global nowadays.
today i was in the library reading back issues of graphis and was amazed by the work of some US designers, so..

You know what they say, 'It ain't much, if it ain't dutch, ' or something like that...

exactly, design is pretty much global. I can think of a few really great Japanese and Mexicans as well.

Yes, let's not let this get like the 'white guy / asian chick' thread...

waaaaaaaaaa!! WAAAAaaaaaa!!
that was me gettin' all Bruce Lee on NT's ass.
Dude... I was just pointing out my respect / love for the Dutch and their grasp for beautiful design.
I agree - design's global.

Ha! I was kidding, the Dutch generally rock, nothing wrong with saying that, actually I think I'm a bit of a Dutchaphile myself...

dutch architects are pretty amazing.
in general, i feel eurpeans have higher sensibility and appreciation on design than americans (i am talking about general public).
- Kippewit0
