Book launch: Gentleman Maverick of Dutch Design by Gert Dumbar

With great pleasure, we invite you to the book launch of Gert Dumbar, 'Gentleman Maverick of Dutch Design', a book that celebrates the life, work, and legacy of one of the most influential designers in contemporary design.

Gain a glimpse into Gert Dumbar’s unparalleled mind that reveals his creative genius and bold approach to design. How his legacy has carried on will be presented by Liza Enebeis, creative director of Studio Dumbar/DEPT®. She will share the story about the current work and culture of the studio, its position on the international stage, and - as its founder - the insatiable curiosity and drive to explore. Join us for a toast with Gert Dumbar and celebrate together the launch of this absolutely must have design book.
