How they work is a book by 010 Publishers, which consists of portraits of the very top of the Dutch design world, which offer readers an honest and reveiling look behind the scenes.

Dutch designers are currently creating quite a stir on the international scene. What is the secret of their success? In How They Work photographer Inga Powilleit and stylist Tatjana Quax examine the working methods of seventeen designers, as well as the typically Dutch approach which has made them world-famous: a fanatical attitude towards work, a healthy lack of respect for convention, and a determination to go their own way.
