After a morning touring the museums, it’s time for my favorite part, shopping! NK is a luxury department store in the heart of Stockholm. It reminds me of the stores back home like Neiman Marcus or Saks Fifth Ave with similar high end designers.

Ferdinand Boberg, Sweden’s leading Art Nouveau architect, designed the building. He was influenced by American department stores, giving the structure an internal load-bearing steel structure and an external facade of granite. Tragedy has hit this store with the stabbing of the Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Anna Lindh on September 10, 2003. She died the next day after undergoing various unsuccessful operations.

NK was beautifully decorated inside with 5 levels. Everything around the store had “cloud” inspired decor.

Linda and I decided to have some fun around the store with their home furnishing department.
