Is your hospitality up to scratch? Can you serve up a cracking cup of tea? You’ll be needing a teapot to brew those carefully selected leaves, so step this way. What about those hard-to-reach corners of your home, the top shelf of the bookcase… need a set of mini step-ladders? Of course you do. And what about in the garden? If you want to make those flowers feel really loved, there’s only one watering can for the job. Platform Place has just what you need, if just what you need is a beautifully selected range of homewares, kitchen equipment, bath accessories and other household essentials from top designers.

Platform Place in Hannam is the firm’s fourth bricks-and-mortar retail store, and as well as stocking all the gear for the house-proud Korean, this branch has got you covered for top-brand clothing, nice footwear and luxury personal items too. It’s all lovingly arranged in a single-storey, wood-clad treasure chest neatly decked out with racks and shelves stretching from the street entrance deep into the building. Check out their webshop for a full list of brands available. Roll on store number five…
