Newsletter #56

Designers balancing on the thin line separating their craft from art get a voice this week in Design.nl's first newsletter for 2009. We sit down to discuss life with Theo Jansen before his grand Asian tour and with Belgium couturier, Christophe Coppens who is wowing audiences at Platform 21. Graphic design also features as Amsterdam gets set to host its first Cut & Paste event and Mieke Gerritzen starts as Director of the Graphic Design Museum.
