Boring boardrooms are creativity killers. White walls, standard tables, buzzing fluorescent lights—hardly the setting where brilliant ideas are born. At Capital C, Amsterdam’s creative hub in the former Diamond Exchange, meeting spaces are designed to spark inspiration, not stifle it. Here, every room tells a story, and your next great idea might just be hiding in plain sight.
Step into The Round Room, also known as The Circle of Life. This space, designed by Remy & Veenhuizen, wasn’t meticulously planned to celebrate circular shapes—it simply evolved that way. Its centerpiece is the Tube Table, a striking round table crafted from sturdy cardboard tubes. Around it, other round elements found their place almost serendipitously, creating a room that feels both spontaneous and harmonious. And just like the perfect meeting: what goes around comes back around (thank you Justin Timberlake).
This room is perfect for workshops, strategy sessions, or intimate network events. There’s something about its soft curves and flowing design that makes conversation natural and collaboration effortless. In The Round Room, ideas seem to take shape on their own—just like the room itself.
Then there’s The Essential, a minimalist masterpiece designed by Sabine Marcelis. And you actually might know this designer from the famous Donut Ikea Lamp! True to her style, the space is stripped down to… well, the essentials. A single glass tabletop balanced on one leg is surrounded by SE69 chairs, subtly reimagined in warm tones. Above, a glowing light piece gives the room a soft, inviting energy.
Here, focus takes over. It’s a space for clarity—ideal for presentations, brainstorming sessions, seasonal planning, or even the occasional well-deserved powernap. In The Essential, there are no distractions, just inspiration waiting to happen.
And finally, The Modern Fossil, where creativity meets nostalgia. Designed by Dirk van der Kooij, this room is a love letter to the end of the era of records and CDs. The striking conference table is built from old record players, while CDs—those often-forgotten relics of the 2000s—find new life in a one-of-a-kind lamp above the table. Even the details, like rooftop windows and chocolate molds (yes, really), make this room a conversation starter before the meeting even begins.
Much like the other spaces, The Modern Fossil is versatile: perfect for team meetings, workshops, quarterly strategy sessions, or masterclasses. It’s a space that celebrates transformation—turning the old into something entirely new. And if you feel a little dramatic: use our balcony to serenade to the people on Weesperplein (we won’t judge).
At Capital C, meeting rooms are more than just spaces—they’re catalysts for creativity. Surrounded by art, Dutch Design, and panoramic views of Amsterdam, your team leaves not just with decisions made, but with new ideas sparked.
So, why settle for another forgettable boardroom? Host your next meeting in one of Amsterdam’s most inspiring meeting spaces at Capital C—and watch your ideas come alive.
