Slanted in Amsterdam: De Designpolitie

Setting out on an exciting adventure through Amsterdam’s vibrant design scene, we dived into the heart of the Dutch capital to uncover its artistic facets for our 41st magazine edition. We met with Richard van der Laken and Pepijn Zurburg from De Designpolitie for a deep conversation about their politically influenced approach to design and about how designers can drive meaningful change through their work.

De Designpolitie is an Amsterdam-based creative agency focusing on the design and strategy of visual communication. Next to commissioned work for clients, De Designpolitie also initiates and produces design projects and events. They combine simplicity, boldness and wit with some critical analysis and fresh thinking. The final result is always a striking piece with a clear communicative message.
