StadsSalon – Where the city meets. Throughout its history, Amsterdam has brought people together, incubated new ideas, and enriched the world. In this timeless spirit of partnership and possibility, the StadsSalon opens its doors during GLUE amsterdam, with presentations by Social Label, Warenhuis Vermeulen and Kranen/Gille.
Social label
Social label foundation celebrates its 10th anniversary. Social label brings the power of design and communication in their designlab for an inclusive economy in which everyone can be meaningful. Through inspiration and activation in the form of tangible products (collection) and program, Social label connects diverse worlds (community). Social label designs labour in collaboration with designers, care, education and reintegration institutions.
Warenhuis Vermeulen
The dressed table – A capsule collection of hand-embroidered cloths and hand-formed tableware. The cloths dress up the table and can also be worn in various forms as aprons. Its own work of Brigit Vermeulen is complemented by collected objects such as old glassware and silverware. The dressed table as a metaphor. This time for the bread meal, which stands for simplicity and craft.
Kranen/Gille
Kranen/Gille is a Dutch design duo, founded by Jos Kranen and Johannes Gille. They are known for their contemporary designs that often blend industrial elements with artisanal techniques. Their work ranges from furniture to lighting, with a focus on balancing functionality and aesthetics. In January 2024, Kranen/Gille travelled to Jingdezhen (China), the porcelain capital of the world. They were invited by the Taoxichuan Art Centre, a prestigious art institute in the city and propagator of the ceramic craft. During GLUE 2024 they show the outcome of this working period for the first time in Europe.
