Dutch Profiles

Dutch Profiles are short documentaries about architects, graphic, product and fashion designers in the Netherlands. Containing interviews with both well-known and upcoming Dutch designers, Dutch Profiles focus on their conceptual approach, their work process, and the context of their projects. Dutch Profiles is a 'digital exhibition' consisting of short documentaries that present a diverse but coherent survey of Dutch fashion, design, and architecture. From 2009 till early 2013, a total of 96 profiles were produced by Submarine for the DutchDFA programme, with an editorial board consisting of Jose Teunissen, Gert Staal, Huib Haye van der Werf and Christine de Baan. The series premiered at the opening day of Designyatra, 4 September 2009. Portraits by, among others, MVRDV, 2012 Architects, Jurgen Bey, Claudy Jongstra, Gerard Unger, Paul Mijksenaar, Philips, Carver, Marlies Dekkers, Alexander van Slobbe and G-Star started the series. The films drew lots of attention among the Indian audience. You can find all the videos, as well as more information at: www.dutchprofiles.com
