To be there completely is to come home to yourself. It is an evening when you don't hear notifications, but music. A morning when you step outside with hot coffee and feel the sun instead of scrolling through a screen. It's mindful cooking, laughing together, being quiet without discomfort. At Nikki.Amsterdam, we believe that atmosphere helps you experience moments like these. Not as a luxury, but as a lifestyle.

Already five years ago we started developing The.Plaid Original. We were looking for a product that fits well with The.Lampion, our beautifully lit wine cooler with bluetooth speaker, would fit. A product you use outdoors while enjoying your chilled wine and your own music.

When we keep ourselves nice and warm with a heating pad - or blanket, the thermostat could well be a degree lower. But what about our dog or cat? Of course, we don't want them lying there with their teeth chattering from the cold.

Is it a wine cooler, a speaker or pretty lights? Our lanterns have all 3 of these functions! That alone makes our lanterns highly sought-after. In this blog, we would like to elaborate on the technology of the lamp and also of our other LED lighting products.

Will it be the busiest or the most wonderful time of the year? The festive months are just around the corner and for most people that means lots of fun! But also... a lot of hustle and bustle. Will it be Saint Nicholas or Christmas or maybe a bit of both?

The perfect dog cushion, of course, does not exist. Because just like us humans, one dog is not like another. Whereas one dog doesn't care what or where it sleeps on, the other can be quite fussy.

The search for solutions against cold hands is of all times. For instance, the muff appeared in women's fashion as early as the 16th. Back then, it was not only used against cold hands.

Winter is just around the corner. Although the really harsh winters with lots of snow and ice on the ditches in the Netherlands have not happened for a while, it can still get viciously cold.

Summer is coming to an end. The children have gone back to school and in the office most of the chairs, except those of the home workers, are occupied. Back to business and back to regularity. Although such a holiday period is lovely, it is also nice to have some structure again.
