SOCIAL LABEL
Game over
This is how our participants sometimes feel. That is why social label wants to be meaningful. Social label designs tailor-made labor for design with meaning. It opens new perspectives for design and society.
Democratisation of beauty in an intimate setting where time stands still. The future of Social label lies in ‘being’, and in surrounding ourselves with design with meaning. With this positive activism, initiators Petra Janssen (Studio Boot) and Simone Kramer (C-mone) are forging a growing inclusive movement with a socially sustainable collection and program for another view on labour, learning and participation.

Book
The book Social label Works focusses on this refreshing design by doing approach. In addition to extensive collection and photo overviews, lessons in socio economics, quantitative and qualitative impact measurements, the book features interviews with makers and designers and reports of lectures and discussion panels. A number of essays show how the ambitions of Social label relate to the current, cultural, social and economic context. ‘Can design save the world?’

Storytelling tableware
Social label has initiated a collaboration between health care organisations Cello, Reinier van Arkel and graphic designer Edwin Vollebergh (Studio Boot). People with a mental disability and psychological problems are working on tableware with a story. The stories of the people are visualised in ‘tattoos’. The tattoos help break taboos.

Through education, we want to show the importance of working together. In combination with this, meeting participants from the social label community is very important. Their talents are the starting point for the design process. This provides new insights for the young designers. Design student Farida from Lille (FR) did an internship at Studio Boot and Social label to design a new product for Nursemin and Valerie, makers of Artenzo (Amarant zorg). She was taught how to make moulds by ceramist Olga Pullens.

Bucket
“Laundry is a part of the daily ritual, now the clothes wash disappears when it has to dry in an anonymous drying machine. I miss hanging the laundry both inside and outside and when you hang a sheet over the rack, it suddenly becomes a tent.” The ceramic bucket is cast from a traditional milk pail with a leather handle with brightly coloured paracord. Old habits are relaunched for a better environment.
