Studio Dumbar is a design agency.
They are located in the Netherlands.
Which means they make cool stuff.

It was founded by Gert Dumbar in 1977.
That was a while ago.
Now it is run by Michel De Boer as Creative Director and Tom Dorresteijn as Strategy Director, but Gert still holds high position on the board.

Gert has always been controversial.
Regardless of this, his ideas always result in sucessful communiation.
Gert is one of the most copied designers in the Netherlands.
His common and shameless decorative style is dubbed as the verb “to Dunbar”.

Studio Dunbar avoids a hierarchial system with a couple head honchos and thier minions.
This has resulted in Studio Dunbar’s multi-style output.
Studio Dunbar has been criticised for being too informal at times, but it is with this freedom of invention coupled with strict functionality that has come to represent a large part of the mythical ‘Dutch Design’.
