The concept for the Amsterdam cafe renovation was to create a warm and cozy space based on the interpretation of the Dutch word "gezellig". Small intimate dining spaces were designed in the bar where you could have a small bite and relax with a group of friends. The materials and colors of the space were warm, casual and vintage feeling. The space was designed to embrace the neighborhood- it incorporated small remnants of items you would see while strolling along the Leidseplein; from the vintage Dutch tile work on the face of the retail desk, to the bicycle bell wall and bicycle parts chandelier.
