WonderWood

Medieval Centre & Red Light District


As much a museum as a shop (look up to see the 1565-built timber ceiling), WonderWood specialises in the moulded-plywood creations of George Nelson, Marcel Breuer and others. Some of the vintage furniture pieces are for sale and some are available in reissue (ie old designs remade). It ships worldwide; smaller wooden objects are also available.
