Description

The Netherlands is currently one a centre of innovation and experimentation in architecture, urban planning, industrial design, and graphic design.

False Flat showcases the dynamism of contemporary Dutch design and, through a detailed exploration of the country's geography, culture, and history, defines its particularities as a manifestation of things intrinsically 'Dutch'. Eschewing a traditional academic presentation, authors Aaron Betsky and Adam Eeuwens, together with the renowned Dutch book designer Irma Boom, have conceived a witty, multidimensional structure for the book that brings to life a prolific design culture in a rich landscape of interconnected stories.

This overview features work by Rem Koolhaas, MVRDV, Ben van Berkel & Caroline Bos, Marcel Wanders, Petra Blaisse, and Jop van Bennekom, among others. One thousand images offer a visual sourcebook of Dutch design in all forms, including architecture, urban planning, industrial design, and graphic design.
