MOSA interiors: Welcome to the Winter Wonderland!

If you are a Christmas person, now is definetly the right time to visit MOSA interiors shop in Tapanila. The store is full of Christmas spirit and ideas for decorations in different styles. The over-all look in the store is a bit vintage-spirited I think, but you can also find traditional Finnish Christmas decorations as well as products that are in more modern style. Besides Christmas decorations, the store also sells e.g. furniture, candles, rugs, lamps, lanterns, pillows, soaps and much more.

The Store Layout and Displays

The store is situated in an old industrial building made of red bricks. The building has a unique atmosphere itself, and for the store it offers a very good environment. The space has enough height and the big windows with panes offer not only light but also nice home-like look the the store. Also the findow sills offer a good place for product displays.

The displays in the store are logic and attracting. The products in the midfloor are divided according to themes, styles and colours. In the midfloor I believe the products change more often and it's a place where season products are been sold. Every table display was like a new adventure: "What can I find here?". The only problem appeared to be that there was not always quite enough space on the tables for all the products, and some of the products were displayed on the floor.

On the left wall there are separate displays for candles, pillows and a shop for Watt&Veke lamps (http://www.wattveke.se/). These products are propably in the stock all year round, so they can have a more steady place. The products are easy to find from the wall, but the best selling areas are for seasonal products. I especially liked the candle display as the fixture was clearly designed for the products and the display was executed accordingly, by colours and by size.

In the back of the store is a cosy lounge in far east style, with seats full of different kinds of pillows. There were also Moroccan tea tables and lanterns on display in the lounge. In my opinion the lounge is a brilliant idea, it's a very experimental place for a customer and a good place to display products at the same time!

The Blogger Was Inspired by These:

This was definetly my favourite lantern in the whole store! I love the old-fashioned look it has, for some reason it reminds me of sea and storm.

I was really impressed with these Watt&VEKE's lamps! Aren't they adorable?

These black Christmas decorations would suit perfectly in my black bedroom.

I think I'll pack all the christmas presents in newspapers this year!

About MOSA interiors

MOSA interiors (http://www.mosainteriors.fi/) is an interior design store in the heart of Tapanila in north-east Helsinki. The main part of their income comes from stock sales, but they also have this retail store in the same estate. MOSA interiors is situated very close to the Tapanila railway station, so you can easily get there by train, by bus or by car. The address is Viertolantie 2-4 B. The store is open under the Christmas on Tue-Fri from 4 pm to 8 pm, on Sat from 10 am to 3 pm and on Sun from 12 to 5 pm. I warmly recommend a visit!

On the same house there are also many studios of different kinds of artists, and a Pierre Cavallo knitwear store. I find the possibilities of this whole estate interesting: I think that it could work as a department store that sells the products of different kinds of small or medium sized craftsmen/women and designers! In my opinion this kind of store complex would suit just perfectly to Tapanila area, which is profiled as a living environment of creative people.
