Last week was Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven. Any thoughts on the work showed?

I was once told by a young woman whom had studied in both Holland and the UK – "The main difference between the Dutch and the Brits is that the Dutch designers see themselves as artists, whereas the British see themselves as craftsman"
anyways, I'm still not sure what it is that I just looked at....

it's "outsider art" style. did these guys go to university to do this?

if you think this is out there, you should see some of the wacked out portfolios of former Rietveld students...

Good point Mr. Snuggles. Design is teached in art schools, so it's not very surprising, but maybe it is for the 'undutch' :)
