People’s Place
Visitors here are not just spectators, but part of the action. That’s because OF GOODS is both a stage and a meeting place. Facing Marktgasse, the large storefront becomes a window for dialogue: for performances, experiments, and formats that engage the outside world and feed back into the space. Beneath the historic arcades, display cases showcase products, materials, and ideas.
Guest appearances by brands, pop-ups, showcases, workshops, and events constantly bring fresh perspectives to the space. Sometimes a conversation starts, sometimes people join in spontaneously, and sometimes they just linger.
This is how People’s Place becomes what it’s all about: a vibrant place for meeting and connecting. And everything that can come from it.
