Notoriety
The Design Academy Eindhoven's (DAE) emphasis on experimentation and practical industrial design has gaining an international reputation. Murray Moss, owner of the Moss gallery and store in Manhattan, called the academy "without question, currently the best design academy in the world". Several alumni are now work for the well-known design collective "Droog Design" and furniture manufacture "Moooi", as well as the wide-ranging Swedish company Ikea. Orange Alert: Dutch Design Events organize exhibitions and events of DAE students work in New York, which are very successful. Several DAE alumni have been nominated for the "Designer of the Year" awards at the Design Museum in London.
The book House of Concepts: Design Academy Eindhoven, published by FRAME Publishers (Amsterdam) in 2008, tells the 60-year history of the academy, showing how many important Dutch designers and architects are associated with the academy.

Famous quotes containing the word notoriety:
“Our books are false by being fragmentary: their sentences are bon mots, and not parts of natural discourse; childish expressions of surprise or pleasure in nature; or, worse, owing a brief notoriety to their petulance, or aversion from the order of nature,—being some curiosity or oddity, designedly not in harmony with nature, and purposely framed to excite surprise, as jugglers do by concealing their means.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
