PORTS 1961: PARIS
Our 5,700 sf Ports 1961 store resides on the prestigious Rue St Honore in Paris, France, occupying three-stories next to the Mandarin Hotel.

PORTS1961 Shanghai: Flagship
A retail experience that embraces the history of The Bund as an important port and art-deco district.

Home Sweet Home geometrically cut engineered oak wood flooring
Home is defined as the place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household. The place that the young child spends almost exclusively the first years of his life. Usually the place that chooses to depict at his first attempts to draw.
A square with a triangle on the top form the iconic shape of what the most of us as children initially and as adults later we recognize as home. This iconic shape is the basic element of the pattern “Home sweet home”, the place we all miss when away, and we feel happy to return.

CHAIRIK
The four different art chairs, with illustrations on both the front and back, depict his signature stacked houses in bright colours and chaotic perspectives juxtaposed against a wood background, a tumultuous, yet strangely playful commentary on domesticity and chaos. Together, the chairs create a landscape of this figurative motive, where each chair centers around a particular colour- Red, Blue, Green and Yellow. The artwork is protected by the strong, smooth, matte, melamine surface that is typical of CHAIRIK chairs. The CHAIRIK chair was designed by Erik Magnussen and sell in five-figure numbers each year.
