In a city that moves fast, Gezellig slows things down – curating intimate music moments that turn space into belonging.

At Scaling Spaces, we believe that great spaces are not just where people work – but where people come together. That’s why we’re proud to feature Gezellig Sessions, a Berlin-based initiative that transforms rooftops and rooms into intimate listening experiences and social rituals.

Rooted in the Dutch word “gezellig” – which loosely translates to “cozy togetherness” – Gezellig Sessions creates space for real connection through music, conversation, and curation. Founded by Manoj Pandey, Gezellig started as a living-room music series and has grown into a vibrant community that blends discovery with emotional intimacy.

Whether it’s a sunset soul concert, a stripped-back piano set, or a genre-themed rooftop session, Gezellig is not about performance – it’s about presence. Every gathering is carefully designed to bring people closer to the music, to each other, and to themselves.

“We want people to feel seen. Music is the medium, but connection is the message,” says founder Manoj. “When someone walks away from a Gezellig night with a new friend, a shared feeling, or just a sense of warmth – that’s the success.”

Our partnership with Gezellig Sessions is rooted in this shared belief: that space has the power to unlock human potential. Through our collaboration, Gezellig has brought their signature events to our rooftops – turning weekday evenings into unforgettable memories filled with soulful sounds, curious strangers, and a sense of grounded joy.

“Scaling Spaces didn’t just offer us a venue – they offered us trust, freedom, and alignment,” Manoj shares. “We were able to dream bigger and host events that truly reflect what Gezellig stands for.”

From indie-pop music under the stars to singer-songwriter showcases and genre-curated gatherings, Gezellig Sessions has made Scaling Spaces feel more like a cultural hub than just a coworking space. And we’re here for it.

In a city like Berlin – full of transience, noise, and movement – the quiet intimacy of a Gezellig event is a rare and welcome pause. It’s about building community slowly, intentionally, and beautifully.

Scaling Spaces doesn’t just open doors – it helps create moments. And with partners like Gezellig Sessions, those moments become memories.
