The exhibition and presentation of the Dutch Design Awards 2009 will be held at the Brainport Greenhouse in Eindhoven, a highlight of the Dutch Design Week. The exhibition runs from Saturday, 17 October through Sunday, 25 October 2009.

This first Dutch Design Yearbook presents a survey of more than 60 of the best designs in the field of spatial design, product design, fashion and graphic design that were produced in 2008-2009 in the Netherlands.
