Take Cover in the Woods
By Jo Phillips
If you go down to the ‘woods’ today you can be sure of a big surprise. For the month of June, London’s leading design and culture exhibition designjunction will transform Habitat’s Platform gallery on the King’s Road into an impressive Scandinavian midsummer pop-up exhibition and café experience.
The carefully curated exhibition will showcase the latest products from leading Danish, Swedish, Finnish and Norwegian brands all staged within a woodland-inspired setting. World-class Scandinavian brands will be presented across the space including: Fritz Hansen, Hay, Iittala, Lammhults, Bolon, Per Söderberg, Muuto, Friends&Founders, Rubn and Swedese.
Within the mystical setting, the Scandinavian café will serve the finest artisan coffee from a state of the art espresso machine provided by La Marzocco, alongside a traditional Scandinavian menu created by Skandel. Keep an eye out for further events.
Authentic dishes will include smoked salmon on dark rye bread with pickles and dill, organic hot dogs served in brioche buns with crayfish salad, freshly made Norwegian waffles, fire roasted marshmallow ice cream and artisan cloudberry jam doughnuts with vanilla sugar.
The pop up woodland Cafe will be open Wed-Sun at the Platform Gallery on the Kings Rd.
