Newsletter #79
This week Daniel van der Velden takes us on a journey through his ideas about how Dutch populist politicians have cleverly appropriated design to appeal to the middle classes. We see what the 2009 Amfi graduates offered and chat with Paul du Bois-Reymond. We also head over to Sofia Design Week to see what the Dutch are doing there.
