Droom van helderheid laat de ontwikkeling zien van huisstijlen in Nederland tussen 1960 en 1975. In deze periode groeiden huisstijlen uit van een marginaal verschijnsel tot een onmisbaar element in de presentatie van bedrijven en instellingen. Veel bekende huisstijlen werden ontworpen door de ontwerpbureaus Total Design en Tel Design, pioniers op dit gebied in Nederland, met als belangrijkste vertegenwoordigers respectievelijk Wim Crouwel en Gert Dumbar. Volgens hen waren huisstijlen een vorm van ‘goed ontwerp’ en leverden ze een bijdrage aan het algemeen welzijn. Tegelijkertijd zag met name Total Design huisstijlen ook als een vorm van visuele efficiency, hiermee aansluitend bij de heersende modernistische ontwerpopvattingen en het vooruitgangsgeloof in de jaren zestig. In de loop van de jaren zeventig zagen bedrijven huisstijlen voornamelijk als een manier om hun imago te verbeteren. Het ook in Nederland actieve Engelse ontwerpbureau Allied International Designers was zich hier al eerder van bewust en profiteerde hiervan. In dit rijk geïllustreerde boek wordt aan de hand van casestudies als KLM (1963), PAM (1965), AH (1966), NS (1968), DSM (1969) en de PTT (1981) onderzocht hoe de ontwikkeling verliep van enkele opvallende huisstijlen en ontwerpbureaus in Nederland. Hierbij wordt veel aandacht besteed aan besluitvormingsprocessen binnen bedrijven en opvattingen van ontwerpers. Deel 3 in de serie Beeldcultuur in Nederland, een initiatief van het Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds.

Norm = Vormover standaardisatie en designAlle keuzen in ons leven lijken individueel, maar de meeste producten om ons heen zijn gestandaardiseerd. En dat is maar goed ook. Door allerlei onderlinge afspraken past een moer op een bout, een afwasmachine in de keuken en kunnen we digitale liedjes versturen naar de andere kant van de wereld. Al die voordelen hebben beroemde ontwerpers als Dieter Rams en Piet Zwart, fabrikanten als Braun en Thonet en scholen als het Bauhaus geïnspireerd om zich voor standaardisatie in te zetten en er mooie, goede en goedkope producten mee te ontwerpen. Norm=Vorm werpt licht op de soms verborgen agenda’s waarmee de normalisatie en standaardisatie van producten is doorgevoerd. In het boek komt een breed scala aan historische en hedendaagse onderwerpen aan bod: standaardisatie van gereedschappen, de voedselverwerkende industrie als voorbeeld, de ontwikkeling van de confectiemode en het maatsysteem, het Amerikaanse Taylorisme in de huishouding, het ontstaan van de professionele ergonomie, de invoering van kleursystemen, de standaardisatie van geluid- en beelddragers, en de acceptatie van allerlei ‘ classics’, van pennen tot boten en auto’s tot horloges.
