Welcome To Our Office 

by Hugo van Heuven

A quick peek in our office in Amsterdam and the neighborhood we're located in. Check out where we work and how it all looks.

In light of our search for new employees, we thought it would be nice if people could see where we actually work. So, for your viewing pleasure, here are some pictures of the Sofa office and its surroundings.

This is the front of the office. We're on 10 and 12. Sofa is located in Amsterdam West, 10 minutes from the center of the city (by bike of course). Let's go in!

An image of our desks. In the office we have little islands of desks. For example, these are Jorn's desk and mine.

Walking a little more to the back we have the kitchen. We like cooking, so a good kitchen is a necessity. Sometimes we eat pastas for lunch, or cook dinner when we work overtime. In the summer we love to barbeque big pieces of meat we get fresh from the market.

An image of Sofa's empty meeting room. Then through the hallway to the meeting room. We only just started using this room, so it's still a bit empty.
An image of everyone eating outside in the garden. When the weather is nice, we lunch outside in the garden.
An image of the café on the corner. But once in a while we lunch at the café on the corner, which serves genuine Dutch food!

An image of fruit on the market. Sofa is surrounded by lots of stores and the market. One of many advantages of having an office in the middle of a city.

That's it. Hopefully you like it as much as we like working here. Remember, if you're ever in the neighborhood just drop by. You're always welcome.
