Amsterdam | Design Capital of Netherlands

Droog is a very interesting company. Droog is a design gallery, shop and office where they manufacture design products. They also operate creative agency for designers. It was really nice to see such a wide range of products in their innovative design gallery. They started since 1993 and currently the collection features 300 designs by nearly 200 designers. The gallery showed everything from lighting, furniture and advanced accessories.
If you’re interested in eco friendly design – this shop is a must see in Amsterdam!

In a huge cellar not far away from the Waterlooplein flea market is the concept store 290 Square Metres. In this amazing shop there are things for sale that belong to a certain kind of street lifestyle. Find the most exclusive Nike and vintage sneakers and Levi’s Red jeans as well as French perfumes and unusual laptop cases. In addition, there are Scandinavian fashion labels for ladies and men, for example Ivana Helsinki and Henrik Vibskov. They have an impressive selection of hard-to-find products. We really recommend this store to everyone.
