Ciao! I made a map of European products and brands I’ve saved over the last couple of years.

It started as a messy list of links: furniture, lighting, ceramics, stationery, bags, outdoor gear, kids’ stuff, food, tools, etc.

At some point the list became useless, so I put everything on a map:

https://map.fromeuropewith.love

Small note for transparency: I run a small newsletter about European product discovery, so this is connected to that. No referral links, no affiliate links, and I’m not asking anyone to subscribe. I thought the map itself might be useful for this sub.

It’s not a certified “made in EU” database. It’s a personal, taste-driven archive of European products, brands, and businesses I found interesting enough to save. Some are made in Europe, some are European businesses, and I’m sure some entries need better origin info.

Would genuinely love recommendations of other tasteful, 'designy' European-made products or brands I’m missing.

EDIT: Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions. Fair point from a few people that the email unlock was annoying for Reddit. I made an open version for browsing here:

I’ll go through the brand suggestions properly and add the good ones over the next weeks.

I write a weekly curated newsletter called From Europe with Love. Every Sunday I share 5 under-the-radar European products, brands, and design objects.

Last week I shipped edition #100, so I built a map with everything I’ve featured so far.

The idea is simple:
people can browse the map, click around, and after a few product clicks it asks for email signup. -> https://map.fromeuropewith.love

I’m thinking of testing it with Meta ads using a screen recording of the map.

Question for people who’ve tested lead magnets:

Would you use something like this for cold paid acquisition, or is it more of a reward/retention asset for existing readers?

Also curious how you’d gate it:
hard gate, delayed gate (after 5 - as iit is right now), or leave it open with softer signup prompts? Any feedback much appreciated.

Ciao! I live in the Italian Alps and slowly turned our apartment into this 50s/60s-ish thing.

A lot of it started with saving European furniture/home/design brands over the last couple of years. At some point my bookmarks became useless, so I put the list on a map.

Mostly furniture, lighting, ceramics, stationery, outdoor stuff etc. Some tiny brands, some expensive stuff, some “why is this stool €900” stuff.

Also currently looking for a sofa to replace the grey scandi thing in the corner, so any recommendations welcome.
