Galleri Sonja
Allinge, Denmark

The island of Bornholm isn’t short on charm, but Galleri Sonja brings something new to Allinge’s main street. Founded by Birgit Lyngbye Pedersen and Jimmy Olesen, who bought the former Galleri Klejn in 2021, this café, boutique and gallery blends Danish and Japanese aesthetics in a serene, granite-clad space shaped with Norm Architects. The interiors feel both Nordic and softly Japanese, with local craftspeople contributing ceramics, woodwork and textiles. Visitors can browse rotating art exhibitions, shop for curated objects or linger over coffee. Galleri Sonja is a meeting place where design, craft and conversation shape the experience, rooted firmly in Bornholm’s raw beauty.

Schultneck
Gothenburg, Sweden

Tucked behind a heavy velvet curtain on Gothenburg’s Södra Larmgatan, Schultneck isn’t your average vintage store – it’s a theatre of style, equal parts archive and experiment. Founded by stylist Olof Runmarker, the shop curates rare pieces with editorial flair, blending Comme des Garçons tailoring with floral bouquets and unexpected curios. The aesthetic is offbeat but intentional, with raw concrete walls and scent-swirled air giving it the feel of a set before lights up. Shoppers drift through with a kind of reverence, unhurried, drawn by the honesty of it all. For travellers tired of overdesigned concept stores, Schultneck is a singular find – emotive, unpolished and entirely its own.

Oas
Stockholm, Sweden

Stockholm’s cult resortwear label, has unveiled its new Dye Studio and showroom in Södermalm – a minimalist, tactile space that doubles as a creative lab. Designed by IMDA Studio’s Victor Ingmo Magnergård and Johan Demling in collaboration with founder Oliver Lundgren, the studio features whitewashed walls, concrete floors and brushed metal fixtures, offering a raw but still refined backdrop for experimentation. Open by appointment only, the space produces one-of-a-kind, locally crafted pieces and invites visitors to engage with the dyeing process, blurring the line between consumer and creator. It’s a quiet rebellion against fast fashion.

NN.07
Copenhagen, Denmark

NN.07’s 2025 flagship store in Frederiksberg in Copenhagen, exemplifies the brand’s commitment to understated elegance as demonstrated here by its designed interior by Reiters Wings. At the heart of the space stands a striking cylindrical display crafted from pinewood veneer, serving as both a functional showcase and a central architectural feature that introduces a dynamic tension to the open-plan layout. Complementing this, aluminium presentation elements and a matching façade sign reinforce the store’s minimalist aesthetic.
