From May 8 through 10, the city will once again transform into a vibrant network of design. Across Utrecht, designers, makers, cultural institutions, and creative initiatives will showcase their work at a variety of locations. From studios and shops to historic buildings and unexpected spots—each location offers its own unique context in which design can be experienced in an accessible way. GLUE Utrecht is organized by Giulia Dunes and Laurens Deuling.
