Newsletter #179
This week Dutch design was labeled an important growth industry by the TNO. We visit two oversees exhibitions, one in the museum Les Arts Décoratifs in which designer Maarten Baas has been given free reign, the other in the US where we discover that the Dutch lead in pattern and ornament in design. Also this week we get the chance to purchase our very own 3D printer courtesy of FOC and de Bijenkorf, and we view studio Dumbar's contribution to the Dutch Design Awards. Last but not least we hear from Jo Meesters about his upcoming exhibition at DDW and can confirm that Design.nl is on Facebook and Twitter and will be tweeting live from DDW.

A Step Forward For Jo Meesters

The Design Sector is a Growth Industry
Design ranks well as an economic industry in Holland, but cultural funding cuts could harm not just the sector, but the country's main cities that are at risk of losing their appeal as attractive cultural hubs.
