Howald store, Centre Orchimont, 34 Rangwee
The flagship store of Sichel greeted me with Eero Aarnio's small Puppy chair. That is always a good start. And the rest did not disappoint. The store is big and selection especially on accessories is almost exhausting. The shop is divided so that the ground floor is dedicated mainly to accessories from varying producers like Eva Solo, Kosta Boda, Sagaform, Bodum, Asa, Alessi, Lekue and many others. From there you will find nice gifts and useful items especially for kitchen.
The second half of the ground floor is more on furniture. You will find Rolf Bentz sofas, a range of Italian Bonaldo's furniture and Kristalia tables. They have rather ok selection on lamps all around the shop from brands like Flos and Foscarini. Also they have a good selection of pillows. What I really liked was the small department for entry hall furniture. Sometimes it is difficult to find something clever for your entry. If you are looking, have a look here!
Coming to first floor you are welcomed by Kartel products and the first floor is really about Moroso, Piure and Ligne Roset. Also MDFItalia is well represented. The space allows good showing for the furniture and you get a good idea of each brand. It is sleek and modern and mainly in tuned colors with some splashes of color. Color is offered by Ligne Roset's iconic Togo sofa in wonderful orange!
The second floor is all about wood. You will find home furniture made of solid wood by producers like Italian Riva and Belgian Ethnicraft. The atmosphere is very different from the first floor with warm and natural feeling. Still the furniture are modern and simplistic and are in line with Sichel's line of furniture.
Once again the Italian manufacturers are very well presented here with some accents from Germany, France, Belgium and the Nordic countries....
Not to forget: They have presentation of Kymo carpets, which I like...
