It does seem rather passé to walk into an interior design store and buy up every piece of furniture, tableware, linen and decorative object to fit out your new home, right? And even if you had the money to indulge in such extravagant shopping behavior, isn’t half the fun in the hunt? Well let’s consider one exception to this rule ”“ Magazyn Antwerp ”“ one of the few interior stores in the world where you would yearn for (and be forgiven) for wanting to leave with literally every item sold inside.

Situated on upscale Steenhouwersvest in the center of Antwerp, Magazyn ”“ the brainchild of former Art Director Thomas Haarman ”“flawlessly curates handcrafted furnishings and products ranging from smooth and silk walnut bar stools to delicate mouth blown crystal bedside carafes in a highly styled environment.

The space is reminiscent of a minimalist art gallery but with a warmer, inviting sensibility to it ”“ perhaps because stylistically, Haarman’s aesthetic proves more than just minimalist, it’s a merging of texture, organic contour, natural light, color and plenty of restraint. We’re head over heels in love.

So let’s just make it easy and move in, shall we?
