FROM THE BOOK
"With all this musing, it is clear that the central question in this edition of the Dutch Design Yearbook has to do with the position and importance of Dutch design and the Dutch designer. Last year Maarten Baas made his definitive international breakthrough...This year Baas showed his latest project in Milan: the translation of his Time project into a 99 cent app. Knowing the whole project it could be a brilliant idea, but in the apps library it will also be a gimmick for many of the uninitiated, comparable with the DVD of a fireplace or the decoy beer on your iPhone.
Like no other 'product', Baas's successful app raises the question of whether Dutch design has become a cultural gimmick or offers a new powerful statement about the importance of design."
