Jill Fehrenbacher's got an exceptionally unlabored interview with Reluct's Joost Van Brug up at Inhabitat. More of a chat, really, where Joost returns to the refrain of "the Dutch are cheap" to account for just about everything you needed to know about Dutch Design (half kidding?)...in addition to, well, their work ethic:
Q: So how do you think the design community in Holland is different than the design community in New York for example? Or in America in general? I mean there's something exceptional and unidentifiably Dutch about Dutch design, and it's hard to put a finger on what that is…
A: I think that it's the conceptual part. And the funny thing is I've spoken to a lot of U.S. designers, and most of them ask the same question. They're also trying to figure out what's the deal. They always think that the Dutch work very hard. We actually don't. We're the laziest people in the world.
