Dutch Design Yearbook 2009
Vincent van Baar, Bert van Meggelen, Timo de Rijk (eds.)

A selection of important events, publications and exhibitions in the field adds colour to the design year and content to the design debate during this period. ‘Dutch Design’ – whether design pur sang, fashion design, graphic design or architecture – has over recent years been winning acclaim the world over.

Besides being of interest to designers, studios and the industry, this publication is also highly accessible to a broad international readership with an interest in Dutch design.

First edition Dutch Design Yearbook

This bilingual publication was conceived as a follow-on to the successful formula of  the Yearbook Architecture in the Netherlands, whereby an expert, independent editorial team select designs to be included, and provide compelling reasons for doing so.

With this new yearbook on Dutch Design, NAi Publishers aims to showcase the field broader than ever before by going more deeply into content, providing hierarchy and depth to choices, focusing on design policy in the Netherlands and highlighting the social context in which design takes place.

Thanks to collaboration with the Dutch Design Awards organization (DDA), it has been possible to make an essentially authoritative yearbook drawing on the expertise of a large group of specialists.

The DDA selection committees with experts representing every field of Dutch design were chaired by Timo de Rijk (product design); Bert van Meggelen (spatial design) and Vincent van Baar (communications/graphic design). They are also the editors of the Dutch Design Yearbook.
