Oriel Myrddin Gallery host an important exhibition of contemporary Dutch design curated by Freshwest Design. The exhibition focuses on the important influence of the Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands. The Academy has built a formidable reputation over the last twenty years, and regularly produces designers that rank among the most respected in the world. The ethos considers design as a stimulus to examine the issues of how we live and consume, and in what ways design solutions can improve and alter our lives. The curation is particular: its emphasis is creative, questioning, light and holistic. A spirit of research and adventure has meant that selection, curation and delivery have transmogrified into a Freshwest/Netherlands road trip. Marcus Beck and Simon Macro (Freshwest Design) and Joby Barnard (photography/design) venture to Holland in a van to meet with designers on a whistle-stop ‘select and collect’ tour from some of the best design studios in The Netherlands. The exhibition will feature the work of 13 important or emerging designers:Maartin Baas, Riener Bosch, Formafantasma, Daphna Isaacs, Chris Kabel, Digna Kosse, Christien Meindertsma, Mieke Meijer, Berjan Pot, Tejo Remy (TBC), Frederik Roije, Peter van der Jagt, Nathan Wierink
