2017: THE YEAR FROM MONDRIAAN TO DUTCH DESIGN
In 2017, it will be the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the Dutch artistic movement called ‘De Stijl’ (The Style). Established in 1917 in the Netherlands with founding members Piet Mondrian (born Mondriaan) and Theo van Doesburg, it was originally a magazine, which published Mondrian’s theories on art but it grew into a wider art movement that widely influenced modern architecture, design and fashion. Over the past 25 years, the desire to modernise design and art that characterised De Stijl has been carried forward under the banner of Dutch Design.
To celebrate the anniversarye, NBTC Holland Marketing, together with its partners, has declared 2017 as the year from Mondriaan to Design. Van Abbe and De Stijl is part of the programme in Brabant.
