Facade of the Vlisco factory, Helmond
A wondrous, surreal world swirls before your eyes. Bright colors light up and iconic VLISCO patterns come to life if only for a moment. Is this a dream, or is it real? During GLOW, we pay a joyful tribute to the people behind VLISCO. Their work connects the factory to the city and to the families for whom VLISCO is part of everyday life. Come see for yourself!
Behind every VLISCO fabric lies technique, experience, and attention to detail. From the initial processing to the final design: every step is part of a larger whole. It is precisely that process, hidden behind the final product, that serves as the starting point for this work, which is strongly reminiscent of the wondrous worlds of Willy Wonka and Hieronymus Bosch. But take note: Maincourse has hidden surprising Easter eggs in the workâsmall references and hidden details that the people at VLISCO will recognize right away. Can you spot them?
