Onderzeebootloods
The Onderzeebootloods was built in 1937 on the former shipyard of the Rotterdam Drydock Company — one of the most remarkable industrial buildings in the city. A vast hall of 4,800 m² that served for decades as a construction shed for submarines, deep beneath the waterline of the Maas.
Fully renovated and now adapted for exceptional events — with underfloor heating, high ceilings and a raw industrial atmosphere that cannot be replicated — the Onderzeebootloods is the perfect backdrop for Europe's finest vintage design dealers.
On 10 & 11 October 2026, this iconic space transforms for the third time into a destination for collectors, designers and design lovers. Over 65 dealers from across Europe, presenting curated collections of mid-century furniture, rare objects, art and design classics.
