Hay


Pictures from Hay, one of my favourite shops in Copenhagen.  I like to go here to daydream about what I would put in the enormous designer house in my head. The entire children's department has a designated space in that house, including all of the elephants below.


There's great people watching to be had here too.  On my last visit, I observed two small boys being "parked" on giant beanbags, and having iPads thrust into their hands to keep them busy.  Meanwhile their parents deliberated and swooned over beautiful and extortionate Scandinavian designer chairs!


There's just one thing that my imaginary Scandinavian designer house is really going to need to have though, a very loud burglar alarm.  Just recently, having certain lamps and chairs seem to make you a real target in our area.   We have so far been lucky, but that could be because I don't think there's a black market for IKEA lamps and furniture at the moment...

  9. Now why didn't I find this shop when I was there - gorgeous quirky stuff!

    I remember seeing a shop in Italy with multi-coloured ducks just like those elephants. I really should have bought one at the time as a souvenir. May have to google them and see if my ducks and your elephants are available online!

  10. Thanks Trish! It's not that easy to find at first, but should you come back, give me a shout and I will give you directions! I bet the elephants are on the Hay website at the top of my post if you need to find the make etc.! Emma :)
