Design in the Netherlands has been able to progress because of arelatively open-minded culture. The Netherlands is a small country with a comparatively high number of designers. In general, most tend not to be highly specialized or tied to industry; they cannot limit themselves to one area and must be open to other disciplines inside and outside of the design field (van Abel et al, 2011: 13). This results in a natural eagerness to share and cooperate, making the Dutch context interesting from the perspective of open design.
