The Dutch designer Richard Hutten is barely 39 and has already gained an incredable reputation in the international design world. For the Central Museum in Utrecht, the Netherlands, he has designed the restaurant, the garden furniture and the bookshop. Several museums followed since then. Orders for his contemporary version of the Berlage chair are difficult to keep up with, and his Domoor mug, Bronto chair and Zzzidt chair (also known as the skippy) remain very successful.

Hutten's designs, or works in use, as he likes to call them, are sought after by celebrities and colleagues alike, and several of his colleagues testify to their strong feelings about his oeuvre in this exceptional monograph
