ILVA
ILVA opening for the first time in the UK in August and we went to Lakeside to have a look. We are big ILVA fans – having first seen the Copenhagen store near the airport. It is beautifully designed by Schmidt Hammer and Lassen which is a brave step for a mass market retailer. The cafe is stunning
ILVA will be opening up next in Manchester to be followed at the end of the year by Newcastle. It is excellent in particular for living spaces and office furniture – not so good on accessories. You can log onto ILVA.co.uk – but the website does not do justice to the brand. It is a welcome new addition to the retail landscape.
