And I had a bit of a wake-up call in Amsterdam: I was there going into the design stores, and mixing with our crowd of designers, and I recognized that a whole lot of stuff pretty much looked the same, and the effect of globalization has had that in our community also.
In Amsterdam werd ik wakker geschud. Ik ging er naar designwinkels, ontmoette designers en merkte dat heel veel dingen er hetzelfde uitzagen en dat globalisatie ook invloed had op de designwereld.
