I enjoy reading and learning about Dutch and green deign, it seems true that the Dutch can effortlessly combine Fashionable products and eco friendly design in a unique ‘Dutch’ language, better than most other countries.
However, the pieces seem to contradict their original design focus. Tejo Remy’s ‘rag chair’ is incredibly expensive to own despite being manufactured largely from old rags. The majority of this conceptual Dutch design unfortuantly sits in museums, art galleys and in rich people’s homes.
I suppose this is the consequence when good design becomes ‘designer art’ and when it is designed under the brilliant Droog.

I particularly love the adjustable high chair. At least parents won’t need to buy several different chairs for their kids. It’s also really cool if this chair was designed to still be able to accommodate kids in their toddler years.
