Gert Dumbar, Gentleman Maverick of Dutch Design

Gert Dumbar, Gentleman Maverick of Dutch Design honors the life and work of Gert Dumbar, one of the most influential post-war graphic designers. Dumbar’s impact spans from avant-garde theaters to global brands. Written by Leonie Ten Duin and Max Bruinsma, the book highlights Dumbar's versatile, provocative design philosophy, complemented by archival sketches that reveal his creative process. The design features a dynamic two-column grid, with a cover that symbolizes Dumbar's mastery through tension, control, and experimentation.

Studio Renate Boere is a design studio that explores the latest graphic design practices. We like to work with students, artists, companies, agencies and governments on innovative products.

We develop and invent, apart from classical graphic design activities, interactive installations, hybrid publishing and self-initiated innovative products. Research into new channels to create visibility for these innovative products is an important part of our work.
