More and more people are attaching importance to a holistic, sustainable lifestyle - something that Thomas Hoof, the founder of Manufactum, recognised early on. The 'department stores' of good things' has been based in Waltrop, North Rhine-Westphalia, since 1987, and the Düsseldorf store on Steinstraße has existed since 2003.
From spades to dishwashing brushes, from fountain pens to birdhouses, from gourmet cookbooks to rare gin and Birkenstock sandals to toothpaste - there is no area of life at Manufactum that cannot be ennobled by the use of stylish products. Anyone who is enthusiastic about high-quality, long-lasting and often traditionally crafted items will find it hard to leave this mixed goods paradise. And if they do, they'll end up in the adjoining Bistro Brot & Butter, which also offers salads and snacks.
