Philippe designs colourful hooded shawls and scarves under the brand name Esualc (his surname spelled backwards). This summer, the space not only houses Philippe’s design store, but also an art gallery run by American/Icelander Alexander Zaklynsky.
Philippe moved from his home in Paris to Reykjavík in 2006. In 2012 he moved again, this time from Reykjavík to Seyðisfjörður, where he now shares a home with a dog named Títa, Freddie the cock, and the hens Britney, Whitney, Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Mariah.
The pop-up store is open daily from 9 am until 8 pm this summer and is located at Vesturvegur 4. Philippe and Alexander welcome guests with open arms, a freshly brewed cup of coffee, and a store full of local art and design.
Travellers sailing from mainland Europe to Iceland with the ferry Norræna will come ashore in the charming little town of Seyðisfjörður, East Iceland. The small town is teeming with life during the summer, and that’s when Frenchman Philippe Clause opens his tiny “pop-up” store for business.
