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.

Gelderland
In 1936 Koene Oberman, son of a Frisian timber merchant, got 200 guilders from his father to start his own business. In Culemborg, with its long tradition of traditional furniture manufacturing, he was one of the first to start serial furniture production. It ushered in the birth of ‘Meubelindustrie Gelderland’. From the former locomotive depot at the railway station, Oberman developed Gelderland into a major player. Shortly after the war, he set out in his own jet to achieve international growth and foreign manufacturers took Gelderland models into production.
