The family business Kom Amsterdam started in 1989 with a shop in the center of Amsterdam. We mainly sold the well-known French ‘café au lait’ bowls in all shapes and sizes. We drove back and forth with a fully loaded delivery van (a unique feature: an Arcade Diane running on gas). In 1994 and 1997, we opened two more stores and launched our own brand. By then, we were traveling all over Europe and had tableware made by potters and small factories in Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal. We started our wholesale business and completed the collection with cutlery, table textiles, and glassware.

After more than thirty years, times have changed: everything is transported by truck, orders are placed digitally, and our store has been online since 2000. What has remained unchanged over all these years is the quality and timeless appeal of our collection and the craftsmanship of our producers. Practically all of our products are still made in Europe – they are our European classics.
