About THE SUMMER SALON

THE SUMMER SALON

A seasonal boutique fair and cultural programme that celebrates the art of the object and the joy of sharing its story.

Hosted within the historic interiors of Hotel Des Indes in The Hague, THE SUMMER SALON invites visitors into an atmosphere of timeless elegance — where collecting becomes an immersive journey through beauty, heritage, craftsmanship and cultural discovery.

THE SUMMER SALON is a hybrid concept that brings together a refined art, antiques and design fair with thematic workshops, expert-led lectures and intimate encounters with artists and specialists.

We reimagine the traditional art fair as a living cultural salon — a place where objects are not only viewed or acquired, but experienced, discussed and understood through meaningful human connection.

A space where visitors can pause, learn, engage with artists and dealers, and gain insight into the creative and collecting process.

The Art of Story

What distinguishes The Summer Salon is its strong educational dimension: a curated programme of talks, conversations and workshops led by internationally recognised experts in art history, fashion heritage, jewellery and antiques.

Through these encounters, visitors are invited to discover the narratives behind exceptional objects — from historical context and craftsmanship to collecting traditions and cultural legacy — enriching both knowledge and appreciation.
