Design & Designer 049 – Studio Dumbar, official blurb: Gert Dumbar, a member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale, founded Rotterdam-based Studio Dumbar in 1977. Since the outset, the studio has executed large-scale corporate-identity projects for clients such as IBM, Philips, Apple Computer Europe and the Dutch national post office and telecoms operator. Today, 25 designers work for the outfit, which has received numerous international awards. Technically perfectionist and with an emphatically modern mindset, Studio Dumbar is a worthy representative of the Netherlands' very strong graphic culture. Its output – spanning identities for the police force, cultural posters and TV idents – has become part of th country's national identity. Truly a community of competencies, Studio Dumbar has always been driven by a continuous flow of often-young graphic designers from all backgrounds. In 2002, founder Gert Dumbar handed leadership of the studio to Michel de Boer; besides the name, he has kept he studio's distinctive modus operandi.

Paris-based Pyramyd Editions has regularly been publishing monographs since 2002 featuring work by selected artists, graphic and product designers. These bilingual monographs form part of a series called Design & Designer. The books contain introductions and descriptions in French and English for the many featured project visuals. Each publication title has a serial number (such as Designer & Designer 033 – FL@33).

In some cases – especially within the first 25 of the series – a second and even third edition was published with fresh new content and a 'v.2' or 'v.3' added to the book title. Other titles go out of print and do not seem to be reprinted in the foreseeable future (such as Antoine+Manuel's book for example). At time of writing this text the Designer & Designer series already reached serial number 086.

A few selected titles are available here especially by some of our own contributors who already created button badges and more for Stereohype. Fill any gaps you may have in your collection or start yours today.
