I think that might something to do with it, but I also think there is a specific cultural quality of humor and playfulness (and not taking yourself too seriously) in the cultural character that is perhaps lacking elsewhere. Anyways, I did just get back from the Netherlands (and Finland) and have some reports on Dutch design:http://inhabitat.com/blog/2006/08/14/interview-relucts-joost-van-brug/http://inhabitat.com/blog/2006/08/13/dutch-design-sustainability-droog/ Hi Andreas-

Freedom of thought, 360, not 23 degrees promotes design innovation. The Dutch have something, so do the Finnish. What's the common denominator?? Go to Holland, get a place to sit and watch the "parade of design". I'll wait for your report. Dutch design, hmmm cultutal? Freedom of thought, 360, not 23 degrees promotes design innovation.

I’d love to hear from anyone (Dutch or not) who is knowledgeable about designy things to do in the Netherlands. As regular readers will know, Inhabitat has a bit of a “thing” for Dutch design.
