DUTCH KITCHEN
& BAR
SCHIPHOL, NETHERLANDS
2011. The renovated Holland Boulevard at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport can now help passengers really discover what the Netherlands is all about. In the midst of the many outlets and shops, stands Dutch Kitchen & Bar, a unique design stopover where ‘poffertjes’, the traditional tiny Dutch pancakes, taste even better….
The Netherlands may well be a very small country, but the Dutch are dreamers by nature and like to push back boundaries. Whether in technology, design, fashion or architecture, they often manage to outdo themselves. So the concept was self-evident: “where a small country can do great things.”
Whence the idea of creating a Dutch setting in surrealistic surroundings. Typical Dutch elements such as tulips are enlarged enormously out of proportion, while a view of a Dutch polder landscape on the floor from above is minimised tremendously.
