Inside mfpen's First Physical Store in Copenhagen
During Copenhagen Fashion Week, mfpen has opened a flagship store in its home city, Copenhagen, on Møntergade 3c.
mfpen’s physical space is thought of an entanglement with exhibition spaces, attempting to translate aspects of such studios and integrating them into a retail location. The store is stocked with juxtaposing objects, some that are restored, found and freshly built to reflect the multi-dimensional space. From large wooden crates that are synonymous with transporting art to heavy-duty metal shelving and tool cabinets, each item has a particular story to its origins and the journey to tracking them down. mfpen’s flagship will become a place where visitors can browse the latest collections, collaborations and exclusive in-store releases from the Danish label.
Store Details:
When? Open today for an event between 17:00 - 20:00
