Dutch design is very recognizable, but it is not easy to capture what it is. It is known around the world for its powerful impact, but at the same time for it’s sence of humor. DUTCH DESIGN IS PRAGMATIC Dutch design is simple, pragmatic, functional and powerful. Form Follows Function is the leading mantra, yet the designs are still aesthetically pleasing and eye-catching.
Dutch Design
DUTCH DESIGN IS FUN The Dutch are known for their down-to-earth character and their sense of humor. They have the ability to poke fun at themselves. DUTCH DESIGN ADDS VALUE Dutch designers are good in using materials that look worthless. The designers give them a new value by, for example, combining things that usually don’t go together.
Dutch Design is here to stay DUTCH DESIGN IS INNOVATIVE Dutch designers think outside the box and like to bend the rules. They are not afraid to experiment and create innovative designs. DUTCH DESIGN IS EVERYWHERE Dutch design is not only about industrial design.

“YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD TO PLAY!“ Straight from graduating to a nineto-five job? Not for Laila Veerman. As a entrepreneur at heart she started her first business during art school. Starting het career as a graphic designer, Laila Veerman (1974) never would have thought she would later start an ambitious organization like Dutch Brands Collective. 24 | DUTCH BRANDS MINIMAGAZINE
Laila started working as a graphic designer even before graduating from art school. She works for a variety of clients, such as Oxfam Novib, ID&T, Amnesty International and many other companies. A view years ago she started design label Origami Zoo with the slogan ‘You are never too old to play!’. First with only baby announcement cards, later expending her brand with artworks, stationary, home deco products and jewelry. At this point she found out how hard it is
Interview
LAILA VEERMAN
Founder of Dutch Brands Collective for small, independent designers to sell products to shops outside of The Netherlands. The retailers she spoke to told her that they were definitely interested, but it was just to much trouble to order from so many small designers. Because what every retailer always lacks is enough time to find the small brands and order from each of them individually. “We have so many awesome small, independent brands in The Netherlands which sell beautiful, original products, but the shops worldwide and the smaller brands somehow have trouble finding each other.” So maybe it was time for something new: a central wholesale web shop were all the best Dutch Brands were collected and every retailer can easily wholesale shop the products he or she likes. Fast, convenient, timesaving and with a strong curated collection! A solid platform to bring supply and demand closer together!
“You know all those things you’ve always wanted to do? You should go do them!”. She took these words to heart and she decided to just go ahead and initiate Dutch Brands Collective in 2016. Dutch Brands Collective just opened it’s digital doors. Laila invites you to come check the web shop, browse around and be inspired. Happy shopping!
“DUTCH BRANDS COLLECTIVE WAS BORN OUT OF NEED”

Interview
*BY IMRE BERGMANN Brand in the spotlights
Surround yourself with timeless and pure products and take the time to enjoy the small things. A small, but powerful message from ceramics designer Imre Bergmann.
After years of working in Marketing it became clear to Imre that this was not the way to go for her. She became curious about what else she could do and attended the art academy. After graduation she committed herself to working with ceramics and started *by Imre Bergmann, a label with handmade products from porcelain and other materials. The products are best described as minimalistic, pure and simple and are handmade by Imre in her studio. “I love working with my hands to create something new. When working with ceramics you need to completely focus on the product and there is no space for anything else.“
38 | DUTCH BRANDS MINIMAGAZINE
“CERAMICS TRULY ARE SLOW DESIGN” After all these years the process of making ceramics is still really inspiring to Imre because she never stops learning and because every project brings her something new. It’s a real craft. It’s a constant discovery of the possibilities of the materials she works with. People are often surprised how much work goes into each project and how much time it takes to complete an item. Cera-mics truly are ‘Slow Design’. You can’t rush into it, you have to take your time and dedicate yourself to your craft. Imre loves that contradiction in a time where everything seems to be moving faster all the time.
“I put a lot of attention, love and care into my products and I hope the people who buy them can see that when they look at my products. I want to stimulate people to buy things they really like and enjoy having in their lives on an everyday basis.” DUTCHBRANDSCOLLECTIVE.COM/BRAND /BY-IMRE-BERGMANN DUTCH BRANDS MINIMAGAZINE | 39
