Yet, with the exception of Gerrit Rietveld and H.P.Berlage, Dutch designers of the period are relatively unknown outside the Netherlands.

The first part of the book covers schools and movements. The Nieuwe Kunst, the Amsterdam School, De Stijl, The Hague School and Functionalism. The second part has a directory of modern Dutch architects, designers, manufacturers, craftsmen, artistic schools and institutes.
