"Traditional Dutch Pottery Headquartered about an hour north of the city, Royal Tichelaar Makkum has been making traditional Dutch pottery and tiles for more than four centuries. In Amsterdam proper, the design store Frozen Fountain sells modern Makkum pieces, including handpainted earthenware bowls crafted by Dutch designer Hella Jongerius."
"Minimalism no longer rules in the Netherlands—it’s more quirky, vivid and playful designs that are stealing the limelight, and this roomy furniture and home accessories store is the best place to snap up the new Dutch look, or just lose a few hours. Want a piggy bank that deposits coins in a sports sock, or a porcelain plate with a giant 3D hippo on it? You’ve got it. While Dutch stars are in strong attendance—you'll find pieces by Piet Hein Eek, Marcel Wanders, and Hella Jongerius of Studio Job—and you could spend a fortune on their limited-edition furniture, textiles, and objects, close ties to art academies mean cool, affordable work by new talents, too." - Clodagh Kinsella
