Kloosterstraat 2, Antwerp

In the same street you find a number of great vintage stores, both interior and clothing. The interior has its price and bargins you make somewhere else. The city seem to have a love for Eams lounge chair and Swedish countryside furniture from the Gustavian period ( 1772-1785).
