upcycling vonblum

As we are changing the space

the word we use the most is upcycling vonblum!!

We love recycling, reducing, reusing.

So we where happy when we found mayari.net

and her RRR ribbons, you can order some or even make your own.

and go check the music video on the sidebar

enjoy!

and now what?

Coming back from the holidays we have had to take the final plunge -
vonblum will be closing as a cafe.

What will happen from now on....
We will keep the space so it can be rented out for events ( workshops, parties, openings, etc)
Also will soon be promoting some interesting crafts workshops
The following days we will be working on the acoustics of the downstairs
so it can be used as a meeting room as well.
The website will change and have all information necessary regarding the renting of the space
and of course keep posted on regular news through our blog http:/vonblum.blogspot.com

we would like to THANK all of you in this journey.
It was great meeting you
keep in touch: info.at.vonblum.com

winds of change

As our economy changes and we watch what will happen next. Our view on this is how do we deal with these times in a positive manner. NUmbers and our goals are changing The cafe will be the same welcoming spot we have been trying to keep for you from the beginning - with different opening hours - as mentioned in our post before. Apart from that we are planning to let the space as an events space for showrooms, meetings, parties etc on a daily basis. NOw you can really use vonblum as a home away from home you dont even have to consume what we sell, bring your own food, cook your own pie entertain your guests while mixing cocktails behind the bar. Would be great to hear what you think? Would you be interested in renting it out? P.S. the acoustics forthe downstairs space have been fixed! We will keep posting our changes

and we are back

with new opening hours
from 8 thirty until four!
See you at vonblum
