My boss was asked to write something about Dutch Design, answering the question: "What is Dutch Design?"
During lunch he seemed a bit in the dark about it, so i ask you people, how would YOU define Dutch Design?

(Jan 25 06, 08:55)well i think the question is coming from the editors of the BNO annuals. My boss is a bit oldskool, worked with Dumbar, hung out with Crouwel (the real) etc.
So I reckon they thought they could ask him to write a bit about it..

(1998'esque)they want to do a serious revamp but we never have the time. the crazy amount of work is almost killing me there... :/
