I thought the acoustics was pretty good. Apparently they took at least a year to set this place up? They serve coffee, beer, wine, spirits, and pastries. I'd definitely do a venue here.

Super stoked because we don't have to pay for this bathroom which I kind it find it annoying in all of Europe. Anyways they also have free WiFi too. So nice because it's hard to get an internet connection to check emails and stuff. Walked around this shop and took a couple of photos. I see a lot of tourist buying some clothes here because maybe they ran out of clothes to wear for their cruise or whatnot. They also have a nice coffee shop within the small mall and it has good sunlight lighting sitting for you to sit there and sip on your coffee. There are three levels total. When you walk right in it's women's stuff. Upstairs is men's stuff and on the lower level is children's stuff. Good find in Kristiansand to just sit and chill and use their free WiFi.

I loved visiting this store! All the beautifully designed, elegant, yet functional things you see…read morein magazines and online, it all hangs out here, ready to buy! While I wish I could have taken most of the things for sale at Hansen & Co. home, I actually didn't purchase anything. I still spent about 15 minutes roaming through the store, soaking it all in, and even sneaking a few pictures or pretty and inspirational things I saw inside. There were many plates and bowls and serving trays and such for the dining room, then also tea kettles, cheese slicers, and coffee gadgets for the kitchen. Calendars, figurines, Christmas decor, all kinds of things, and all with the Scandinavian, minimalist vibe. Absolutely everything in this store is beautiful, and even if you don't have tons of cash to spend like I didn't, I'd recommend peeking in and seeing what there is to look at!

The marriage of the many things in the burger were perfect. Our server was friendly and helpful. Brought us menus in English because we don't understand Norwegian. Would definitely be back.

My husband and I had been roaming Kristiansand to find some Christmas decorations we could take…read morehome, and this place had the right stuff! Like much of Norway's decor, most of the things inside No 1 were elegant, beautiful, and mostly white. There were many fine and pretty things, which are always fun for me to look at. There were figurines, candles and candle holders, ornaments, pillows, and other such things. The staff didn't bother us while we were looking around (which is something I appreciate universally), but once we came to the counter, the lady there was friendly, all smiles, and (thankfully) conversed with us in English. She asked if the piece we purchased was a gift, no it wasn't, and she had it boxed up for us so we could transport it home in our suitcase. She also asked if I'd like to have a free Kristiansand magazine, just to look at, which was a friendly gesture. If you're looking for some Norway-inspired decorations for your home, I'd highly recommend checking out this class place! It's just a block off the main street (Markens), if I remember correctly.
