Vondel is a small concept space tucked half a block from the Vondelpark. Objects from European workshops, the books we'd lend a friend, and the coffee we drink ourselves. Open since 2019, still no online shop.

Hand-thrown stoneware from a studio in Friesland. Brass scissors from Solingen. A single linen sheet from a mill in northern Portugal that has been weaving since 1888.
