DMY 2010
Premsela presented (Un)limited Dutch Design at DMY 2010, focusing on shared creativity, open technology and digital fabrication. At DMY 2009, with NL as partner country, Dutch designer and food specialist Marije Vogelzang created an interactive gala dinner for over 200 guests. DutchDFA supported both activities in the interest of long-term collaboration.
Design in the Netherlands has developed rapidly, not in the least because of an open minded and experimental design mentality. (Un)limited Dutch Design at DMY 2010 celebrates the unlimited possibilities of design within the context of shared creativity, open technology and digital fabrication.

Taking place for the second yera, the (Un)limited Design Contest is an experiment in open design. On June 9 participants can submit original designs or copy and adapt other participants’ entries to the contest. This year’s themes for the contest include Form, Food, Fashion and Fusion.
A selection of (Un)limited Design Contest designs is displayed at DMY. Designs made on the spot are added to the exhibition, making it the heart of the (Un)limited Design community of open design practice.
