In addition to the sales floor, there will also be showroom spaces and opportunities for workshops and various events. This pop-up operation will remain open throughout the spring and summer, with exactly when it will close yet to be determined.

– It feels really exciting, says Paulina Larsson, who, along with Moa Hansson, is the founder of the project. Paulina, an interior stylist by profession, describes the store as having a more curated, modern, and fresh feel compared to other secondhand shops in town. 

– The prices can also vary from a few kronor up to four figures, she says.

The store also offers an alternative for those looking to sell their items.

– We have already noticed that there is a great interest in selling items through us, says Paulina.

–That might be because people want to avoid sorting and selling on different selling platforms and sites, which can be energy-consuming.

Expect to find hand-painted lamps, pots, and other interesting interior items. 

– We like to recycle, giving old things new life. There is potential in that, says Paulina. 

The store opens its doors on Friday.
