This store full of trendy gadgets can be found at two locations in the city center of Ghent. At the branch in Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat you can shop for interior decoration, paper products and gifts. The building, a former drugstore, is worth a visit in itself. Everything shows off on the shelves of old pharmacy cabinets and that is particularly Instagram-worthy. On the Hippoliet Lippensplein you will find Piet Moodshop number two in a sleek industrial building. You've come to the right place for office gadgets, lifestyle and urban necessities. Think of interior brands such as HAY and Muller Van Severen, pens and pencils from Caran d'Ache and cards from Kaart Blanche. Looking for a unique piece with a strong wink? This is where you need to be.

In addition to high-quality lighting fixtures and so on, you will find a beautiful range of decorative items and design classics such as Lampe Gras stand side by side with the work of new designers. You will now find a pop-up with handmade accessories and carpets by designer Roos Vandekerckhove.
