The wonderful world of Nummer 9

It does not happen very often that stores in Amsterdam give you the feeling of international allure and service. However, when you look hard enough, there are a few gems out there that know exactly what the modern customer is looking for. Behold Nummer 9: a store in the center of Amsterdam with a selection of the most amazing young brands, excellent service and an interior that made me feel like I was in a high end New York boutique all over again. Nummer 9 is everything a boutique should be: genuine, unpretentious, to the point and ready to make you succeed. The fact that the owner is only 25 and really knows what she’s talking about makes the whole shopping experience even better. You won’t understand my enthusiasm until you’ve actually paid a visit to the store, so my advice would be just that. Afterwards we can talk and gush about the brands together!

Sneakerology by Facet Studio

To display nearly 300 pairs of shoes in one compact space, Facet Studio’s design team created an unique organizational system that neatly merchandises footwear.

A boxed shoe display wall casts dazzling patterns in shape and colour throughout the 55-sq-m shop. Each shoe is presented in its own 200mm by 600mm plywood box, which are each slightly offset from one another. Displayed like museum artefacts, the products are ordered and numbered.

To learn more about each shoe design and function, shoppers can use touch-screen units in the centre of the store and enter the product’s coding number (which is labeled beside the corresponding box).

‘By placing our design focus on ways to correctly understand the merchandise, it’s an attempt at capturing “sneakers” in a scholarly fashion,’ say the Facet Studio team.
