Our Story
Vintage Boutique Abcoude is a curated destination for vintage design.
We bring together furniture. lighting and objects from the mid to late twentieth century, selected for their historic importance, craftsmanship, and character.
We approach collecting with a careful eye, favouring pieces that impress within an interior, and bring the right feeling in an interior. The aim is not to follow trends, but to offer objects that remain relevant over time.
The feeling also includes the experience, this is why we aim to provide a personal service that fits your unique style from the moment of purchase towards the delivery. We approach each situation with care, taking time to look a bit further for solutions for your personal situation.
Every item is thoroughly checked to ensure authenticity and condition. Where needed, restoration is carried out with respect for the original design, preserving the integrity of the piece while preparing it for continued use.
Our showroom is located just outside Amsterdam, within a historic Fortress that was originally built to protect the city in the early 1900s. Nowadays we are lucky to be able to furnish the rooms of this incredible location with our collection, allowing to experience them in a beautiful context.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with your questions or requests, everything is possible!
Floris van Uden: Founder
While you have gotten a bit more familiar with our company, we also like to introduce ourselves and how we started Vintage Boutique Abcoude: Han van Blokland and Floris van Uden met when Floris was only 15 years old and lived next to Han’s then latest project: Hotel de Witte Dame in their hometown Abcoude. While Han already had a great passion for vintage design and continued to decorate the hotel with vintage furniture and lighting, Floris began to get an eye for it too.
Today, Floris is the mind behind carefully curating the collection, and ensuring quality of the pieces while doing so. His refined eye for detail extends further than just curation, it also ensures everything runs smoothly, and keeps on evolving.
Han van Blokland: Founder
Han founded Vintage Boutique Abcoude together with Floris, when his passion for vintage was already present in his other projects: Bed and breakfast Villa Oldenhoff, where he incorporated vintage furniture and lighting in the design of the hotel, and also in his then project Boutique Hotel de Witte Dame, which was also furnished with lots of vintage Raak Amsterdam lamps, and other iconic furniture. When Floris showed interest in the furniture as well, and together they founded what Vintage Boutique Abcoude is today.
