For the Day and Night exhibition, LOADS Collection developed custom-made fabrics for garments designed by Marcos Luengo.
With his artistry, Madrid-based Marcos Luengo and his team craft each design by hand, combining ancestral techniques with extensive research into artisanal processes layered with cultural and artistic richness. His eye for detail and commitment to working with high-quality, responsibly sourced materials make this a beautiful and deeply meaningful collaboration.

Studio Claudy Jongstra: 30-Year Jubilee Exhibition
December 2025
Cuypershuis
Pierre Cuypersstraat 1, 6041 XG Roermond, Netherlands
The Cuypershuis Museum presents an exhibition celebrating the 30th anniversary of Studio Claudy Jongstra, founded by Limburg native Claudy Jongstra.
The exhibition will include planting a new garden in the museum's courtyard with natural dye plants and medicinal herbs, including lemon balm, valerian, wild strawberries, St. John’s wort, and woad.
Originally a medieval monastery with a courtyard garden and agricultural lands beyond, the Cuypershuis draws strong historical parallels with Jongstra's philosophy and approach in her atelier as well as in the establishment of LOADS Collection.

Activating Common Ground: Dutch Pavilion at World Expo Osaka 2025
5 September - 13 October 2025
Netherlands Pavilion, Osaka, Japan
Re-pair, Re-use, Survive
Curated by Vincent Schipper (Studio The Future), Joyce Hanssen, and Francien van Westrenen (Nieuwe Instituut)
Sustainability is a central focus of the Dutch Pavilion. The aim has been to move beyond a distant ideal and to embrace a practical and ongoing commitment to reusing and re-implementing materials. However, sustainability is not simply about conserving resources. It requires a deeper and more holistic re-evaluation of the entire creative, social and political ecosystem.
What if sustainability involved not only reducing environmental impact or maintaining the status quo but also promoting social justice, economic fairness and cultural regeneration?
There is an urgent need to rethink the relationship between innovation and sustainability. As the final theme of the cultural programme, this reflection brings together concepts of innovation, equality, tradition and future-focused learning.
