GLUE Amsterdam

From 18 to 21 September 2025, the sixth edition of GLUE Amsterdam – connected by design – will take place. For four days, designers, brands, labels, showrooms, galleries and academies open their doors to professionals and the public.

GLUE connects more than 150 participants across the city, from established studios to emerging makers and hidden gems that fall outside the traditional boundaries of design. This year too, five external curators select the ‘Sticky Participants’: creative exhibitors who push the definition of design and keep the route fresh.

The theme for 2025 is Alternatives from the Unexpected. Visitors can expect creative solutions and new perspectives from surprising angles. Well-known partners such as the Stedelijk Museum, Pakhuis de Zwijger and Waag Futurelab are part of the programme.

The route is freely accessible. Visitors can create their own route and explore the city on foot, by bike or by public transport. Want to know more about the participants, curators and the full programme? Visit the official website.
