About Chakar Chakar is a Danish whole- sale company with its own imports from the East and from Europe. The company has more than 10 years of experience and the product style is classic, simple and rustic. Two new collections are released a year, and the products are mainly sold in florists and lifestyle stores. CHAKAR A world of pottery BY HELLE MATHIESEN pots, but the last 20 percent of the assort- ment is still quite important for the concept. I have a number of shops that have Chakar as their only supplier besides the suppliers of flowers and plants. It is typically smaller florists who also want to show a universe of pots and crafts, Britt Rønholt elaborates. - We do our very best to produce in a su- stainable and responsible way, and our la- test initiative in this regard is a new colla- boration with a Portuguese ceramic factory. We began the cooperation with the A/W 19 collection and it is our intention that more products will be produced in Portugal in the future, states the Chakar founder and direc- tor. BACK TO NATURE The Chakar collection for Spring/Summer 2020 focuses on a light and Nordic colour theme with toned down colours inspired by nature. The colour range includes light earth tones, dusty greens and blues as well as powder tones and rose. - The expression is simple and with lovely glazes in a handcrafted look - some of them in changing colours, where no two products are exactly the same. It gives a beautifully crafted, unique and imperfect look, which fits well with the trend of the season, says Britt Rønholt, who is looking forward to presen- ting the new collection at Formland, where she exhibits on stand K8108. The Danish company Chakar, with Britt Røn- holt at the head, is once again ready to pre- sent a new pottery collection to Formland's visitors. - Over the 10 years that Chakar has existed, I have held on to the niche of pots. My pro- ducts are mainly sold in florist stores, but I also have, for example, handicraft shops and lifestyle stores as customers. My focus is on the pots, and then I develop some sup- plemental items every season, to show a whole brand universe. It can be in the form of for instance matching candlesticks, va- ses, glass products or baskets, says Britt Rønholt about the concept. - 80 percent of the Chakar assortment is A Each season Chakar develops a line of ceramic pots in the new season’s colours and glazes. The S/S 20 collection can be experienced at Formland.
