About ‘Gooise Mannen’
At the end of 2020, during lockdown, we bought a house in ‘t Gooi.
We started @gooisemannen on Instagram to keep friends and family updated on the progress. But it didn’t take long before the follower count grew beyond our inner circle — and a few posts even went a little viral.
Answering interior-related questions has pretty much become a full-time job. So yeah, creating a central place where all the info lives just felt like a really smart idea.
Besides @gooisemannen, we’re also the founders and owners of Stoned Amsterdam. And yes — one full-time job would probably be enough. But hey, when opportunities come knocking, you take them, right?
Plus, there’s nothing better than starting something new.
We may go by Gooise Mannen and live in ‘t Gooi — but are we truly Goois? We’re not so sure ourselves.
With roots in Twente and years spent in Amsterdam, we’ve become who we are now: two hard-working, ambitious guys with a love for beautiful things… and for each other.
Stoned Amsterdam
Stoned was founded in 2014. We started out with a small stock of white marble tiles. Sawing, sanding, polishing — that’s how our very first range of kitchen and serving boards came to life.
In Amsterdam-West, we rented just a few square meters in a pop-up store on Jan Evertsenstraat. The first boards sold quickly, and Stoned caught the eye of trendy concept stores — and even department store De Bijenkorf.
“Let’s go!” we thought. “Let’s see where this ship takes us…”
Well, that ship has been sailing full speed for 10 years now, and Stoned’s marble interior accessories are sold all over the world — from Amsterdam to New York, and from Berlin to Tokyo.
