Time to shop
My goal was to find a present for my mom’s birthday. She loves decorating her home with little knickknacks, and I love fairtrade and sustainable things, so I decided to combine the two, so off I went to HFO. Amazed by the size of the store I took my time browsing through the big collection, and found one thing even prettier than the other. With a great mix of small local handcrafted brands like Loenatix and TimCity and more established names like People Tree and l’Herbe Rouge, there is definitely something to be found for everyone.
There is more to it
Shopping is fun, we can’t deny that, but the cool thing about HFO is that they offer way more. The gallery gives starting artists a stage to present their work. Every 3 months new artist will be selected to be part of the exhibiton.
On the first floor there’s a nice space with different workshops all about health, exercise food and much more. If you’re feeling inspired, you can even give a workshop yourself. or even organize your own.
The woman behind it all
Behind this amazing concept stands Magali Heuberger. A beautiful, open minded woman with an everlasting smile stuck on her face. Driven by fighting the soulless mass stores, she decided to create HFO, a place where people can come together and find real products with a true story. I do think she deserves credit for setting this up!
