TOO BIG TO FIX

' Too big to fix ' Social label 10 years Installation/contemplation space for dialogue

Social label occupies a unique place within the design world as a forerunner in the field of “design with meaning. Initiators Petra Janssen (Studio Boot) & Simone Kramer (C-mone) have been working for over 10 years to build a meaningful design collection & community. In collaboration with various partners in care and welfare, makers, designers and policy makers, Social label shapes an inclusive economy through design and communication that leaves no one by the wayside. Some problems in our country are so big that you sometimes wonder if the government can solve it through laws and regulations. Therefore, we have been working for 10 years to set a positive example that it can be done through design doing.

Too big to move, Gesamtkunstwerk Social label Lab Den Bosch

In the Social label Lab for social innovation, different groups of creatives work under the supervision in the atelier teachers ateliers craft, assembly, story, move & open. Through the power of design and communication, new opportunities arise for a better future in which each person with his or her talent is of value. Because creating something of functional or aesthetic value is important for everyone. Design as a means to come back and participate by making a meaningful contribution and being part of a bigger picture (pride, own value, identity). After all, why does all work have to go by the standards of speed and money? Why don't we value differences, talents and make this a starting point? From the Social label Lab we argue with professionals from care and education for a different view on work as a benchmark to reform society and economy.
