This week the first press images of H&M's new brand ARKET 

has been publiced and  I can't wait  untill the opening of their first 

store (Brussels, Copenhagen, Munich and many more will follow soon)  at  the end of

the summer at London (Regent Street) and to see more of the collection

 after the launch of their webshop!  

All the shops will also include a cafe decorated in Scandinavian style and besides

 their timeless fashion collection (that will last for several seasons)  

the stores will have shoes, accessories and home furnishings selected

 from other brands as Iittala and Duralex.  

The Chair ‘Skedblad’ (crafted from solid oak) designed by Carl Malmsten will be used to 

furnish all the cafés. The chair has been put back into production exclusively

 for ARKET and is based on original drawings from the Malmsten archives.

yesterday I visited the Showup fair at this amazing location

 the Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam

Showup is a new trade show for Home & Gift 

where we can admire new collections from leading brands 

but also discover the work of young talent

and it was such fun!

just loved the amazing and cosy atmosphere

and the perfect combination of getting inspired by the products and the styling

and meeting retailers, suppliers and other bloggers 

Showup is open until the 25th of augustus 18.00 and accessible for retailers

 and bloggers after filling out the registration form 

 next edition will be 1/2- february 2015... save the date!
