Paul Ollivary is the tiny antique store on Rue Jacob in St Germain that you mustn’t miss should you ever pass by. Each item being handpicked and pre-loved only keeps in with the atmosphere of the entire neighbourhood – capturing that special esprit of old world glamour and joie de vivre that many of us think only Paris has.

continued expansion in The Netherlands

PRESS Filippa K is please to announce the opening of its fourth concept store in The Netherlands on Plaats 17 in The Hague. Located in the city square the store will be the 41st Filippa K store to open worldwide.

The store is designed by long-time architectural partner Aaro Arkitekter and located in a traditionally Dutch stone house with gable towards the city square. The architectural idea is based around material contrast and modern room interiors. A narrow entrance room completely covered in thin bamboo leads in to a light more complex and abstract world where the Scandinavian simplicity of the brand is fully displayed.

The men’s and women’s departments placed on each side of the store, stretch into the 190 square-meter store where a coffee bar has been placed centrally.

”We are pleased to further deepen our collaboration with our Dutch partners by opening this store in the Hague. We strongly believe in this type of collaboration as a way of expanding and will continue to grow this way” – says Patrik Kihlborg, CEO.

The store will carry a full range of the women’s and men’s collection as well as the shoe, bag and accessory line from Filippa K, a brand known for its coherent design philosophy of style, simplicity and quality.

The store is set to open in September with an exclusive opening event on Saturday, 27th of September 2008.

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.

The store will carry a full range of the women’s and men’s collections as well as the shoe, bag and accessory line from Filippa K – a brand known for its Scandinavian simplicity and coherent design philosophy in fashion as well as architecture and artwork.

The store is set to open in September with an exclusive opening event on Thursday, 18th of September 2008.
