It is now a tradition that every few month the permanent pop-up store of Budapest, Projekt Showroom, pops up for a few days and fans of old objects rush over to get their hands on an elegant table or a rocking horse, or other items that they have been hunting for years. Due to overwhelming demand, on 12 March, Projekt Showroom once again opens - for the 12th time - focusing on antique furniture. You have just 11 days to shop.
Probably on account of the enthusiasm triggered by the great news, this occasion seems to be the grandest so far. This is Projekt Showroom's largest inventory, meaning - of course - that more people can shop for more curiosities.
As usual, there are beautifully renovated objects, as well as pieces that require some DIY or some professional love and care. Of course, Projekt Showroom can help you with the restoration or a simple re-painting, if you don't want to attempt to do it yourself.
There is an abundance of large pieces of furniture (wardrobes, huge chests, bookcases, etc.), and there are heaps of beautiful chairs as well. There are special smaller pieces as well, such as a tobacco cutter, sacks, a stagecoach chest, and hat stands.
We don't know who will buy them and what they'll be used for, but many find alternative uses for these objects including simply as decorative items that add a bit of character to a room.
Although no one would furnish an entire flat with Projekt Showroom furniture, they would surely look great among your IKEA pieces - adding a touch of glamour and style.
The pop-up is open until 22 March, and thanks to the inner-city location (Dessewffy Street 18-20), the new Sunday-trading ban won't apply to this pop-up store.In other words, you can drop by - even on Sunday - and grab something delightful for your home.
