From September 14-16, we hosted our very first pop-up in the heart of Copenhagen on Bredgade—and what a magical three days it was. The space came alive with a blend of creativity, connection, and celebration, as we welcomed friends, family, and a vibrant community of makers. It was a moment where Seoul met Copenhagen, with our curated selection of handcrafted pieces from local designers and artisans from South Korea taking center stage, perfectly framed in a setting that captured the spirit of Nava Maé.
Day 1: An Evening of Connections
We kicked off with an intimate gathering of the people who have been with us since the beginning. It wasn’t just an event—it was a celebration of community. Relationships are at the heart of everything we do, and this evening was a testament to that. Over champagne and inspirational conversations, guests mingled, exploring the space that held more than just products—it held stories, memories, and dreams. We wanted to show our vision - what we see in Korean products, and how we want to blend it with our own DNA; a fully new universe that merges just that. Innovation, craftmanship, minimalism are the keywords.
Days 2 & 3: A Weekend of Discovery
As the weekend unfolded, we opened our doors to the public, inviting everyone to step into the world of Nava Maé. Our goal? To transform the pop-up into a living gallery, where every corner offered something to discover. Visitors wandered through at their own pace, taking in the thoughtful details of each piece and learning about the stories behind the makers.
The energy was contagious, and the response—overwhelming. So many were drawn to the impeccable craftsmanship and unique beauty of the items on display. It was a reminder of why we started this journey: to offer pieces that resonate on a deeper level, that invite people to appreciate the artistry behind everyday objects.
The Road Ahead
Our Bredgade pop-up was a glimpse of what is to come—a preview of the bigger story we are writing here at Nava Maé. For us, it was more than a successful event; it was a celebration of two cultures merging, artistry, a coming together of community, and a moment of shared vision. We are beyond excited for what is next, and we cannot wait to bring more of these curated experiences to Copenhagen and Europe.
A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, cheered us on, or supported online. You have made this journey meaningful.
Stay tuned. We are just getting started.
Until next time,
Nava Maé Team
