About us
Global Affairs is an Amsterdam-based design and production partner creating distinctive gift collections for museums, cultural institutions, brands, NGOs, and retailers worldwide.
Since 1998, we have transformed stories, artworks, and ideas into products that engage audiences and strengthen brands. From museum merchandise and exhibition collections to promotional gifts and retail ranges, we combine creative design, craftsmanship, and responsible production.
Our clients include the Van Gogh Museum, Tate Modern, The National Gallery, Naturalis, FENIX, Amnesty International Netherlands, the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston.
A key strength is translating art and cultural heritage into contemporary products. Working with buyers and curators, we develop collections inspired by masterpieces, exhibitions, and cultural stories that resonate with visitors and generate sales.
Alongside our own collections, we specialise in bespoke development. Whether adapting an existing design, creating a new collection, or producing a client concept, we manage the process from design and sourcing to production, packaging, and logistics.
Sustainability and trade are embedded in our approach through responsible materials, transparent supply chains, reduced packaging, and fair compensation for artisans.
Creative design. Responsible production. Bespoke collections that tell a story, engage visitors, and drive sales.
