Even though there are a few more work hours of Friday I thought to wish you a nice weekend and Friday with some Fredagsmys. Today I am dreaming away for some retail therapy. I wish to drive to a random town in hope of finding some artistic looking retail spaces. Some spaces which inspire, feels joyful and a bit carefree.

Just like this shop called Auka in Barcelona designed by Intsight. Here the playful yet sophisticated herringbone flooring creates an inviting feel thanks to its pattern. The lightbulbs and displayed clothing gives it that carefree feel I am craving.

Finally Friday evening is here, and that means switching off the computer, and relaxing. Lately I have stumbled upon so many perfect Fredagsmys spaces’. Like this one designed by Intsight. It is a restaurant with focus on wines and coffee. The interior has a cozy and industrial feel to it. The benches and pillows makes it the perfect lounge area for tapas food and some wine. Or what do you say? Would you join us here?

Fredagsmys: Retail Design At Mica By Savvy Studio

Savvy Mica

Did you get to have some Fredagsmys yesterday? I would gladly have spent my day and evening in this contemporary jewellery shop called Mica. The space feels fun, youthful and vibrant. Even though the ‘cozy’ feel which is normally associated to the concept of Fredagsmys might be lacking here; the thought of just hanging out and grabbing new inspiration makes up for that.

Mica’s consistency in the graphic identity and interior would have made it a perfect space to study and draw inspiration from. The interior space is designed by Savvy Studio; a design studio in Mexico. The designers have created an interesting display area for the jewellery using cubed bookshelves. The inspiration behind these came from the well-known Sol Lewitt and his project called “Variations of Incomplete Open Cubes”.

The bookshelves and the pops of colours are what I draw inspiration from. I really like the way they used the colour on the back wall as it creates a focal point and draws the visitor inside the room. The organic feel from the placement of the bookshelves gives me a feeling of creativity that I sometimes need before a weekend.

And…Friday evening is finally here and another Fredagsmys. I really enjoy coming up with stories or emotions that I relate to Fridays. I think it is a way for me to connect to my family back in Sweden, as it brings back child-hood memories. Today I would gladly spend the evening with both my families in this hip place; the Kith Cafe in Quayside Isle, Singapore.
