At the corner of Weteringschans 269, a crisp white interior stretches over two floors. For one week only, Amsterdam-based design house Bil—Boe opens its first physical space: a pop-up design x concept gallery. They usually operate online, curating furniture and pieces in collaboration with independent artists, and creating their own work as well. But this time, you can walk in, have a look — and maybe walk out with collectible for your home or as a thoughtful gift.
Founded by British designer and entrepreneur Ollee Means, Bil—Boe is built on the idea that “luxury is a commitment, not a commodity.” Behind the scenes, he handles production, development and distribution, allowing designers to focus on their work. The result is a catalogue of works that together form a minimalist and connected creative scene.
This selection features pieces by Europe-based makers, ranging from usable forms to sculptural statements. There’s lighting, seating, filing, object paintings, and candleholders — all in limited-batch editions. Materials include aluminium, ceramic, and wood, often refined in detail.
WL04L lamp by Boris Pellegroms. Works by Miray van der Bend, Thomas Roger, Mik Bakker, Marte Mei, Paul Coenen.
A small hook collection by Anna Zimmermann stands out among the highlights. Hand-bent by Bakalowits artisans in Vienna, these forms can serve as coat hangers, wall pieces or quiet sculptural accents. Also on show: a glassware line Bil—Boe developed in collaboration with Marte Mei, offering carafes and tumblers with soft curves. This week’s presentation is modern and refreshingly free of concept-heavy maximalism. The space feels like a well-curated home.
Names featured include Anna Zimmermann, Elena Giolo, Kalo Rakoto, Sean Alexander Fisher, Bil—Boe, and many others.
