If you're a fan of design then definitely keep on reading. I present to you: Koperhuis, a very nice design & lifestyle shop. I guarantee you: if you have a house, you'll want to change your whole interior when you visit this place! If you don't have a house, you'll have a long wish list for when you finally have a place to put these things.
The shop has a really nice offer of design furniture and decoration. From very nice plates to designer couches, you can find it all here. And I haven't even told you the best part yet: there is a bar! Yes I'm not giving you false hopes, you can actually shop and drink at the same time. If that isn't perfection, then I don't know what is.
If you're a poor student and you can't afford cool furniture yet, don't be sad! There are also smaller things that you actually can buy, so no excuses there.
