iittala

iittala started in 1881 as a glass factory in the Finnish village of Iittala. It has grown into an internationally renowned brand that has played a decisive role in defining a Scandinavian lifestyle. At iitala they strive to provide inspiration for a more beautiful and enjoyable life.

Stijl by Amilcar

Would you like to give a beautiful piece of jewelry as a gift? Then you've come to the right place at Stijl by Amilcar. Just like iittala, this store has a completely new look.

As Amilcar stated in his interview: "The new interior is significantly more modern. One of my best friends is a project developer and together with his wife, she is an interior designer, he has the company 'Wij Zijn Gideon'. They helped us with the new concept. For example, now we have a separate area where customers can sit quietly. Previously, the space was very large and we stood at a standing table, which is actually not ideal for displaying valuable watches."
