After a successful first edition, Collectors Rdam is back at the Onderzeebootloods. During this second edition on 11 and 12 October, over 60 of Europe's best vintage design dealers will together offer iconic interior objects and collectible design from post-war to the year 2000. Organiser Vanessa Erasmus has bet on an even wider offer this year with dealers from France, Denmark, Germany and Belgium. Tickets are available via this link.

Visitors can look forward to an impressive selection of mid-century modern, space age and brutalist design, in addition to design classics by Charles & Ray Eames, Verner Panton, Italian design such as Cassina Soriana or the Camaleonda sofa by B&B italia, among others, there is also exceptional Danish design. From big names to unknown gems.

Collectors Rdam presents a carefully curated mix of furniture, lighting, objects and art, for both the seasoned collector and the curious design enthusiast.

The popularity of vintage design is evident, with platforms such as Marktplaats, Vinted and other second-hand markets growing explosively. Trend forecasters such as WGSN are signalling Gen Z's buy-to-sell principle, where unique design pieces are not only loved for interiors, but also as valuable investments. In all walks of life, the need for individuality and character in both interiors and personal style is growing. And besides aesthetics, sustainability also plays an important role - a good design piece will last for generations and get a second life via a new owner. Each object carries a story with it, and can be endlessly combined within different styles.
