'The aesthetic quality of a product is integral to its usefulness because products we use every day affect our person and our well-being.
But only well-executed objects can be beautiful.' - D. RamsThis quote was on our shop window for years and we still stand by it completely. Now more and more people are (partially) working from home, there seems to be a growing appreciation for nice workspace environments and all the items within it that make it so.
And that is exactly what we are all about:
Refined goods for the home and desk.Misc Store carries a carefully selected range of stationery, everyday carry, design objects and furniture to aid in finding the right work-life balance. Postalco, Caran D'ache, Traveler's Company, Monocle, The School of Life, Karimoku New Standard, Midori, LAMY, le typographe, Penco, Hightide, Areaware, Classiky, Frama, Futagami, hibi, Toyo Steel, Kinfill & Hasami Porcelain are but a few of our personal favorites found at misc-store.com & in our Amsterdam store.
Hats off to you Dieter; we couldn’t have said it better.
2023 DIARIES
The incense of Awaji Island
& the matches of Harima
hibi - 10 minute aroma
These two traditional industries of Hyogo
Prefecture first encountered each other in 2011.
The collaboration started with the idea
of an incense that could be lit like striking a match.
The brand name hibi means ‘day to day’,
or daily, in Japanese.
What people say about us
Nice to see you here,
but we'd love to meet
in person too
