Consumer society is running at full speed. The more we surround ourselves with products, the less value or meaning they seem to have to us. How can design today lead to products that will still matter tomorrow?
Meaningful relationships
The Product Chronicles explores how designers can address and strengthen the connection between user and product. How can design contribute to valuable products in the broadest sense of the word? And thus create a meaningful relationship between people and things?

The exhibition is held at Atelier NL's venue, the Bergmannkerk (church). During The Product Chronicles, Atelier NL will show their current work, sell tableware and samples, and present two social projects in collaboration with Residency for the People. The KoffieKopSalon 55+ involves local elderly people in live clay work in the studio, and "Amsterdam Table Ware" is a collaboration with local Amsterdammers, initiated by the Amsterdam 4 and 5 May committee and made with local clay.
