Thrilling ideas, mind-blowing experiments and extraordinary collaborations.

There is more, much more to Dutch design than meets the eye.

 Which is exactly what you'll experience during Dutch Design Week 2012.

Glass Beach

I want to go there!

What a beautiful place this Glass Beach formerly know as The Dumps.

Rubbish dump becomes a protected area.

Ironically, where it had once been illegal to dump glass, now it's illegal to remove it!

And again nature is cleaning up the mess we've made.
