Mondriaan to Dutch Design
In 2017 we celebrated 100 years De Stijl. A Dutch art movement, with Piet Mondriaan being its most famous representative. De Stijl had a big influence on art and design. It paved the way for Dutch Design as we know it today.
Mondrian to Dutch Design is an initiative of NBTC Holland Marketing in collaboration with Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, Centraal Museum Utrecht, Museum de Lakenhal among other museums.
“The style is in our cultural DNA”. Based on this statement we designed a constructed typeface, where we replaced parts of a letter by shapes and colors where De Stijl is known for. At the same time, these shapes became a dynamic, colorful form language fitting the festive character of a celebration year.
