Signalling the near-end of the global pandemic – at least in this neck of the woods – on a highly frivolous note, is today’s official opening of Pink Beach in Amsterdam. As its name already implies, the outdoor summer pop-up venue, founded by Brazilian transplant and entrepreneur Sarah Mendes, is dipped in a hysterical yet quite photogenic pink hue inspired by exotic beaches. Situated smack in the middle of a bland industrial zone in the Dutch capital’s emerging northern borough, it sees a setting created by Madrid-based designer Patricia Bustos. Set across 300 sqm. (3,229 sq.ft.), the Pink Beach compound welcomes the hyper connected Millennial and Generation Z demographic, and anyone with a playful mindset, to a new playground with a well-stocked bar, beach chairs, cozy booths, palm trees, and last but not least, a ball pit for additional jolly banter. The concise menu lists cocktails, mocktails, wines and other beverages, in addition to hamburgers, salads and other tasty summery bites.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
