Flabelus Brings a Touch of Spain to the Nordic Midsummer
On a golden summer evening last week, Spanish footwear brand Flabelus gathered friends of the house for an intimate dinner celebrating its arrival in the Nordic region. Inspired by the traditions of Scandinavian midsummer and infused with the warmth and charm of Spanish heritage, the evening unfolded as a poetic meeting of two cultures.
Co-hosted by Verona Farrell, better known as Secondhand Huns, the guest list brought together a carefully curated mix of creatives, tastemakers, and long-time friends of the brand. Around a beautifully dressed table, conversations flowed late into the evening, accompanied by seasonal details and thoughtful touches that reflected the spirit of both Spain and the North.
The setting itself felt almost dreamlike. Set designer Frida Thofelt created an enchanting tablescape where artistry met nature, while paper artist Ida Stark transformed the space with her extraordinary handcrafted flowers. Delicate and whimsical, the blooms added a sense of magic to the evening, blurring the line between craftsmanship and fantasy.
More than a dinner, the gathering marked Flabelus’ first event in the Nordic region, a warm introduction to the brand’s colourful universe, where tradition, creativity and a love of beautiful objects come together with effortless elegance.
