Part contemporary art gallery, part design store, part café, this canal house proves that admiring art is much easier with a freshly brewed coffee in hand.

Despite the fact that we are always on the go, we are never without a book, stashed away in our bags or tucked into a (roomy) pocket. When we want a little guidance for finding inspiring books or want the best magazines, there’s only one place we ever go: Athenaeum Boekhandel & Niewscentrum. Looking for a paper to enjoy while you have a coffee at Café Droog? There’s a great selection here.

Among the many independent boutiques of Amsterdam's Nine Streets, The Odder Side is the Polish label's only flagship outside its home country.
