Groos - Rotterdam

Music, fashion, interior, food - Groos sells everything. Focusing on fresh talents who originate from Rotterdam it still houses a vast variety of different products in it's stylish shop with a warehouse atmosphere. For new Rotterdam designers Groos offers a great opportunity to get their products on the shelf and out to a wide audience next to other designers with the same roots. It's a really interesting concept and a one that has worked for over 2 years now. The collection of creatives has expanded so that even just on the website alone you can find over 150 makers, each with completely different visions and products. 

There is a real sense of pride within Groos unlike many other shops. With such a strong pride of the Rotterdam heritage it draws you into the products to have a personal connection. You really feel like you are supporting a cause, an actual person behind the designs which is a feeling you don't usually get when shopping nowadays. 

All the designs are entirely unique, many sustainable and naturally produced or handmade. It's a completely refreshing display of quirky, new ideas with ideal price tags.

& designshop - Rotterdam

I've decided to create a segment on my blog highlighting fascinating and unique concept stores I find in Amsterdam and other places I travel to. Today I'm looking at the & designshop in Rotterdam.

&, the creation of Dutch designers Elwin & Nynke, is an incredibly diverse store representing young talented designers as well as products designed and created by themselves. The high quality products feature everything from hand made jewelry to modern furniture. 

Their embracing of the new designers and the friendly welcome you receive as soon as you walk into the store immediately gives you a homely feel which is only emphasized even more with the dynamic use of space that makes you want to move the whole store into your own home.  

Studio Snowpuppe are another design duo featured in &. Their products are inspired by the Japanese Origami technique. This forms the charismatic design of their lamps which will create compelling lighting for any room. 

I cannot stress enough the energetic vibe & gives you. The electric craftsmanship of all the products and the natural materials used throughout the store really connects you back to nature which is a breath of fresh air in this technologically driven world. Maybe I should pack my stuff up and move to the mountains! 

I really recommend you to visit this shop if you get the chance to and dive into Elwin & Nynke's vitalizing world.
