On the roof of Metz & Co's furniture store, whose wares included Rietveld furniture, the architect placed a circular glass showroom so as to show off modern functionalist furniture in an appropriate setting. Here today one can still enjoy well-designed furniture and a view of Amsterdam's roofscape. The showroom was renovated in 1986 by Cees Dam.
