Reseña del editor

Dutch design is held in high esteem around the world. Its favourable - international reputation is based on the work of many designers including Jurgen Bey, Hella Jongerius and Maarten Baas, who all have one thing in common: Design Academy Eindhoven.

Design Academy Eindhoven is the Netherlands’ leading institution for developing design talent and it has produced a veritable who’s who of the country’s creative scene. The final projects of its graduates often attract international attention; their annual presentation has become a must-see for innovative companies, brands and designers from around the world.

House of Concepts presents the legendary school that was founded as the Academy for Industrial Design Eindhoven sixty years ago. It contains outstanding original work created in a top-quality educational environment that emphasises practical skills rather than theory. The book not only features Design Academy Eindhoven graduates and their work, but also gives insight into the conceptual design for which the Netherlands is famous.

House of Concepts also includes extensive interviews with renowned alumni such as Jurgen Bey, Richard Hutten, Joris Laarman and Judith de Grauw as well as Jeroen and Joep Verhoeven.

Contraportada

Design Academy Eindhoven was founded in 1947, at which time it was called (in Dutch) the Academy of Industrial Design Eindhoven. Today the school has a reputation, at home and abroad, as a highly contemporary and virtually unequalled design institute. Programmes offered cover a wide range of design-related disciplines from product, graphic, new-media and automotive design to city planning and trend forecasting. The position taken by students and alumni within this spectrum of creative activities is considerable.

The publication, House of Concepts, casts a light through words and pictures on the 60-year history of the academy. In the pages of this book, the reader will find the work of nearly every important Dutch designer, as most of them have studied at the academy. House of Concepts also offers a philosophical and critical view of design as a whole, and of Dutch design in particular, set in an international context.
