Bankjes Collectief

▶︎ Press play … because a new season of the Benches Collective starts this Sunday 3 May and runs until September: hear from the founders on why they started this community of bench cafés around the city once a month, and for our chats with a variety of Amsterdammers about what makes their bench cafés special.

Best quote: “The nice thing about this bench is that it connects, it connects us with people here. In the end, I think people like it … to talk.”
