With an inspiring look at some sensory-triggering oases in Europe, we wish you a wonderful summer. Our office and production will be closed from week 28 to 31, but we’ll see you again in August for an inspiring and action-packed autumn. Until then, we’ll take it easy in our own summer escapes.
Tips for Summer Oases in Europe
Summer is here, bringing with it a much-needed break from the routines of working life. At Horreds, we want to inspire you with some of Europe’s creative and design oases—places where you can rejuvenate and gather new inspiration.
Klunkerkranich i Berlin – A Bohemian Rooftop Bar
One of Berlin’s hidden gems is the rooftop bar Klunkerkranich, located on top of a parking garage in Neukölln. This combined bar and rooftop garden offers a fantastic view of Berlin in a relaxing atmosphere with green elements built from wood. Here, you can enjoy cold drinks and listen to music while taking a break from the city’s hustle and bustle. Berlin, by the way, has many green oases to relax in.
De Hallen i Amsterdam – Creative Hub and Relaxation
In the heart of Amsterdam, you’ll find De Hallen, a converted tram depot that is now a creative hub. It features everything from art galleries and design shops to a boutique hotel and a food market. De Hallen is the perfect place to discover innovative design, enjoy good food, and relax in an inspiring environment. Don’t miss their cozy cinema for a relaxing movie night.
Finca Bell-Lloc i Katalonien – Rustic Charm and Wine Harvest
For those seeking an authentic local experience, we recommend Finca Bell-Lloc in Catalonia, Spain. This charming hideaway offers rustic elegance amidst vineyards, with modern architectural touches. Here, you can participate in wine tastings, explore the beautiful countryside, and enjoy locally produced food. An inspiring environment away from the tourist trails.
KOK Oslo – Norwegian Sauna Cruise
A private sauna cruise is a unique experience that combines the therapeutic benefits of a traditional wood-fired Finnish sauna with the beauty of nature, all while floating along the stunning Oslo fjord. Take a break from the city’s fast pace for a calm and restorative journey. Enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views while alternating between the steaming hot sauna and refreshing dips in the fjord water.
Livraria Lello i Porto – An Architectural Gem
For book lovers and design enthusiasts, Livraria Lello in Porto is a true treasure. This historic bookstore, known for its Gothic details and magnificent staircase, is an inspiring place to visit. Immerse yourself in a book while admiring the exquisite architecture that has inspired many, including J.K. Rowling during her time in Porto. Livraria Lello is the perfect spot for a quiet afternoon away from the city’s bustle.
Aire Ancient Baths i Barcelona – Relaxation in a Historic Setting
In an old building in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, you’ll find Aire Ancient Baths, a place where history and modern design meet. These thermal baths offer a unique experience of relaxation and well-being. Here, you can enjoy various baths and treatments in a serene atmosphere, surrounded by beautiful architecture and subtle lighting. Recharge your batteries and find inner peace here.
These places offer the perfect blend of innovative design and relaxation. Have a wonderful summer, and we’ll see you again in week 32!
Best regards, The Team at Horreds
