Where: The new BoConcept store in Bellevue

What: It would seem to be a generally positive thing whenever a multinational design-savvy brand decides that our neck of the woods needs not one store but two. With the second outpost of Danish furniture and decor elements comes a party complete with a live DJ, signature cocktails, and appetizers.

The store asks that you please dress for the occasion; in exchange they’ll dole out 200 gift bags to the first 200 RSVP’ers. Drop a line to rsvp @ boconceptbellevue.com to attend.

When: Thursday, July 21 from 6 to 9

If you can’t make it (say for instance you’re going to Nordstrom’s Designer Preview that night), you might consider hitting the downtown BoConcept in the near future. The floor models there are on sale from 20 to 60 percent off. The sale ends on August 30.
