On Saturday morning there was a long line to get into FINDERSKEEPERS … partly because it’s a popular event but also because, with the virus threat, total numbers were being controlled on a one out so one in system to stop the space becoming crowded. There were dispensers for hand wash and it was noticeable that most people cut out shaking hands as they introduced themselves or said goodbye.

The FINDERSKEEPERS design market is a good place to see good everyday design. That's not a snide put down but a way of saying that there is always a good mix of clothing, leather goods, watches, jewellery, smaller items of furniture, prints and posters and decorative design of a high quality from young and independent designers and makers. It's a good place for people watching and trend spotting ..… this is what young couples from Vesterbro are buying to wear and buying for their homes. This is the ‘stuff’ a Dane needs, along with the big-ticket pieces of furniture, to make a home.

There seemed to be more plants than before and there were some interesting food and drink stalls like Be Gin. Some designs, like storage boxes from Mulgeo, were aimed at those concerned about sustainability even if, perhaps, they were not as concerned about cutting back or weeding out what we own but neatly hiding it away.

As always there was a good selection of ceramics.

The central aisle had displays of storage solutions from Montana who have worked in partnership with FINDERSKEEPERS for this specific event.
