Covid-19
In this time of corona and in our current society of social distancing that we will be living in for the foreseeable future, GLUE, with its design route that fans out across the city, is the ideal event.

On the eve of the three-day festival, prior to the opening cocktails scattered all throughout the city, GLUE is organising a substantive debate at, and in collaboration with, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.
What can designers add to Amsterdam? Why are creatives important for the city? We discuss what role design can play in a vibrant and unconventional city like ours.

GLUE HUBS 2020
Thomstudio
Thomstudio is a design collective founded in 2015 by siblings Floor and Mares Thomassen. They are a flexible studio that operates in all fields of design.

STUART – HUB
STUART is a showroom for interior designers, architects and commercial clients. Various brands, concepts & inspiration for tomorrow’s work environment.
In addition to being an inspiring location to work (working showroom), STUART is also a place where we welcome design enthusiasts and where we show beautiful collections and innovations in the field of tomorrow’s work environment.
