Dutch Design Double 2010 focuses on Gerrit Rietveld as we celebrate Dutch design from the 1st of September until the 31st of October 2010

More than twenty design-events in two Dutch cities spread over two months. Under the umbrella Dutch Design Double, Amsterdam and Utrecht host throughout the whole month of September and October a great variety of internationally orientated design events. Both cities are joining forces to create a handpicked selection of design and new media projects.

Rietveld
2010 has been proclaimed as international Rietveld Year. Therefore Dutch Design Double focuses on the Utrecht architect and designer Gerrit Th. Rietveld (1888-1964) whose work includes over a hundred buildings and many pieces of furniture and was a major influence on the development of architects and designers.

Program
The Centraal Museum places Rietveld’s work in a broad context with the exhibition Rietveld's Universe. The Stedelijk Museum presents a symposium on research into the metal Rietveld chairs. Expect a Rietveld room at Elle Inside Design, a Rietveld concert by C-mon & Kypski and visit the Rietveld buildings in and around Amsterdam and Utrecht.
The Dutch Design Double events also include design events such as Dare/MaHKU, Via Milano New Dutch Design en Woonbeurs Amsterdam.

Dutch Design Double is an initiative of gemeente Utrecht, provincie Utrecht and Premsela, Dutch Platform for Design and Fashion. Cultuurfabriek produces Dutch Design Double in association with gemeente Amsterdam and Ministerie van Economische Zaken.
