fourth store opening in Belgium
PRESS Filippa K is pleased to announce the opening of its fourth store in Belgium on Aldestraat 59 in Hasselt. Located in an up-and-coming trendy area of the central city, the store is the 40th Filippa K store to open worldwide.
Designed by long-time partner Aaro Arkitekter, the architectural idea for the 260 square-meter space has been to create an openness to the city and its light, while respecting the building’s inherent qualities and using sustainable natural materials.
Large windows and a corner entrance open up to a light-drenched central room with a six meter ceiling height creating a feeling of serenity.
A peaceful changing area faces a small green courtyard where visitors can sit down and relax or quietly wander around. Concrete floors and materials such as oak, wool and plaster polished walls have been used to create a space that combines stylistic simplicity with a qualitative ambience.
”We are very pleased to open our fourth Belgian store - the market has become of such great importance to us that we are happy to expand further” - says Patrik Kihlborg, CEO.

next major concept store
PRESS Filippa K continues to expand in Germany with the opening of a major new concept store in Hamburg, its fifth in Germany. As consumer demand keeps growing, Germany has become Filippa K’s most important growth market.

The store will carry the full range of women’s and men’s fashion, shoes, bags, and accessories from Filippa K - known for a distinct Scandinavian design style that combines minimal urban elegance with high fashion. Since its foundation in Sweden in 1993, Filippa K has grown rapidly with concept stores in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland, as well as by 750 selected retailers worldwide.
Germany has become Filippa K’s most important growth market. In addition to the Hamburg location, Filippa K has opened several concept stores in Munich, Berlin and Düsseldorf. Filippa K is also represented by some 100 selected retailers throughout Germany, such as AVE in Stuttgart, Stierblut in Munich and Kadewe in Berlin and Munich.
”We have received a fantastic response from our German customers, and we are investing heavily in the German market. In the long term, we expect Germany to become our biggest and most important market.” says Jan Carl Adelswärd, CEO.
Housed in a classic Jugendstil building next to a small square, the new Hamburg location is reminiscent of an exclusive little department store with a grand entrance hall and exceptionally high ceilings and windows that create a bright, elegant ambience of style, simplicity and quality.
Designed by Aaro Arkitekter, the unique architecture expresses the essence of the Filippa K design philosophy: a stylish combination of classic elegance, serene minimalism and contemporary urban edge. Mixing the classic with the contemporary, the majestic former auction hall has been carefully updated to a stylishly modern Filippa K concept store. The original whitewashed stone walls and stucco have been juxtaposed with modern ash wood floors, minimal white interiors and edgy details such as concrete, platinum backdrops and silk drapes.
Located on Hohe Bleichen 28, the new store will launch with a large opening event on May 8th for a select group of guests from the Hamburg fashion, media, music and art scene. The next day, the store opens its door to the public.
