Parmi les magasins visit�s, voici quelques uns de mes pr�f�r�s... (toutes les photos sont les miennes)
Helsinki is the world design capital 2012, and I was of course thrilled to pay a visit to this beautiful city earlier this week. I spent most of my time in the Design District, 25 streets filled with design, fashion, art, musems and restaurants. I also stopped by the official pavilion of the design capital, but I regret not having enough time to explore the Design Musem next door (but the shop was great).
Here are some favourites among the shops I visited... (all photos are mine)
Mon coup de coeur �tait la boutique �ph�m�re que Finnish Design Shop a ouvert dans un ancien entrep�t des douanes pr�s du port (ouverte jusqu'� fin septembre). Un lieu immense tout en brique, rempli du meilleur du design finlandais et scandinave. On y trouve aussi un caf�. Superbe!
The highlight was the pop up store that Finnish Design Shop has opened in an old customs warehouse near the harbour (open until the end of September). A huge brick space filled with the best of Finnish and Scandinavian design. There is also a caf�. Fantastic!
Je ne pouvais pas aller � Helsinki sans visiter un magasin Marimekko. Leur vaisselle me fait toujours autant craquer!
I couldn't go to Helsinki without visiting a Marimekko store. Still loving their kitchenware!
Pino propose une jolie s�lection d'articles basiques pour la maison, ainsi que du design plus innovateur.
Pino offers a nice selection of basic articles for the home mixed with more exciting design.
At Peroba you'll find more of the industrial style, with a large selection of products from House Doctor.
Pour d�jeuner, on s'est arr�t� � Sushibar, un joli petit restaurant ou les meubles d'Alvar Alto et la vaisselle d'Iittala et de Marimekko se marient � merveille � la cuisine japonaise.
For lunch we stopped at Sushibar, a lovely little restaurant where Alvar Alto's furniture and the kitchenware from Marimekko and Iittala fit the Japanese kitchen perfectly.
