The emergence of an internationally recognised Dutch design scene has been fueled by a strong educational system for designers. A second contributing factor to the success of Dutch design is government support for new designers. Financial support from the Fonds BKVB (the Fund for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture), launched in 1988, has enabled design students to set themselves up as independent entrepreneurs right after graduation.
You’ll remember we recently mentioned that Buenos Aires is fast becoming a hot bed for creative talent, well that’s solidified again by another Argentinian addition to the roster. This time it’s not other than Ariel Di Lisio, AKA NegroNouveau™. Ariel first caught our eye back in 2009 when his work was brought to life by another strong typographic presence, Alejandro Paul Sudtipos.

Step back waffles and beer – there’s an altogether finer Belgian export whetting our appetitive. Tom Muller is a typographic legend. Having crafted some of the most iconic and contemporary pieces of work for the likes of Wired mag, Lily Allen, Sony BMG Music, The Pet Shop Boys, Diesel and many more you will have visually gorged on, we’re in good company indeed to have Muller, a typographic maestro contributing to our exclusive faces.
Buenos Aires is fast becoming a hot bed of creative talent, and it doesn’t come much hotter than typography’s answer to Maradona – Pablo Alfieri. Bold, confident, experimental – a maverick inspiration of the letterform, and his studio Plenty™ is a visual banquet.
