Sigh.
So, I had a client approach me and say "I was really hoping that we could approach this piece using 'Dutch Design' concepts".
I'm trying to get a handle on what they are talking about. Being a client they probably have a certain idea in their head and I'm trying to get some idea of what they are getting at.
Any examples of prominent contemporary Dutch design that you guys could post would be most helpful.

You know, the funny thing is that overall I see a very wide range of creative here that makes it really tough to peg down "Dutch Design".
Ok, yes grid systems. Check.
When it comes to organizing and layout out copy heavy pieces I can definitely see the distinction.Thing is this client is talking about more of a personality piece that embodies the character of the characters that make up the company as opposed to the company identity itself.
And the referenced Dutch design. So, my conclusion is that they may not know what they are talking about.
