On the corner of a quiet canal street and De Clercqstraat in Amsterdam you can find the new girl in town: Ramona. This vibrant, authentic space designed by Studio Modijefsky is the refreshing latest addition to the Amsterdam West hospitality scene. This unusual combination results in a bohemian space, where bold details and unexpectedly layered materials create an eccentric vibe in its own right.

The colour palette of this bar combines dark, moody wood tones of smoked oak with brighter shades of lilac, dark red and almost neon orange. The roughness of the grey toned plastered walls is offset against painted curved wood panelling, while glossy handmade tiles and coloured mirrors make the space optically larger. Contrasting textures are layered on top of one another like the wall menu written on orange glass and set against yellow linoleum panels.

Imagine if a young, rebellious daughter of a traditional Belgian cafe owner was opening her own place- Ramona would be it. The interior references the tradition of classic bars with plenty of dark wood, stained glass, protective wall panelling, and mirror finishes; all reinvented with a much younger attitude.

In the lively Oud-West, this new bar full of beautifully unpolished character is a welcome escape, day or night. From the unique Studio Modijefsky designed graphics to the striking Jasper Krabbé painting on the wall, you can tell that Ramona is an outspoken, daring bar with a unique vibe that will steal your heart.
