An extensive and timely survey of innovative contemporary design in the Netherlands: always verging on the experimental and universally recognized as a melting pot of cutting-edge twenty-first-century creativity.

One thousand images offer a visual sourcebook of Dutch design in all forms, including architecture, urban planning, industrial design, and graphic design.
