WE RETURNED TO LOFI TO CELEBRATE THE LAUNCH OF OUR LOVE ISSUE 14
In celebration of Numéro Netherlands Issue 14: LOVE, we returned to LOFI Amsterdam, which at this point is our go-to launch party haven. Between the golden, sunset-soaked outdoor area and the dark, pounding dance floor, drinks flowed, laughs echoed, and dance moves got increasingly hot ‘n’ heavy, making for an aptly electric launch of our newest — and most exciting — issue yet.
With a DJ lineup consisting of GLIA, Lobster, Grace Dahl, ending with a final spin from Ignez, who just played at Upclose Festival, bringing the energy for the last few hours. As the opener of our 13th Issue launch party, he brought a familiar vibe whilst also graduating to the coveted closing act.

Considering the theme of LOVE, we definitely felt the love in the air. Seeing all of our contributors, readers and collaborators come together once more for this new issue created an environment drenched in warm, love- ing energy. In honour of this theme, our photowall took a crimson red backdrop, making everyone feel a little extra lovey-dovey.

Collaborating with Sir Dam Vodka and Gin 1689, we ensured that drinks were flowing all night long, whether you’re into Vanilla Berry and Apricot cocktail cans or a classic G&T. An Ube Latte stand, courtesy of Sipsy, also brought much-needed refreshment, especially with the Sunset Ube Latte — a delicious mix of caramelized banana, coconut milk and, of course, ube. Magnum freezers also dotted every corner, filled with their latest Pistachio flavour that were perfect for our sweet toothed guests.

After months of creative work and collaborations, having this moment to look back on everything that led up to the launch of this issue felt truly touching for us all on the Numéro Netherlands team. Having this biannual reminder of the ever-expanding community that we have supporting the magazine is grounding, and we are proud to have another successful issue launch in the books.
With Issue 14 out, starring some of our favourite cover stars to date, this night felt rewarding and we are already excited for Issue 15, which is in the works already (stay tuned for the next launch) and feeling extra thankful for everyone that chose to spend their Thursday night with us.
