New York’s Design Scene Is Going Dutch
Dutch design influence is taking over New York. A recent news article writes about the Dutch design invasion in New York.
It’s easy to find the Dutch booths at the big design shows. Just follow the smirks. At least that’s what people are fond of saying about them. The American design press often describes the Dutch design community as a bunch of happy pranksters, but that description is too glib and not entirely accurate.
The Dutch tend to inhabit a niche between art and design, and like any conceptual artists their work contains layers of irony. Their work is often funny, but not ha-ha funny. It’s more like a wry posture that prods us to think about materials, tradition, comfort and sustainability.
