Summer is coming to an end, and autumn will be arriving soon. Gone are the days of sunburns, beaches, and pool parties. The season of cooler weather, colorful leaves, first days of school, and pumpkin spice-flavored everything draws near. To get you in the spirit, we’ve curated a list of our top picks for fall-themed pop ups from years past.

Brightland Holiday Shoppe

Parasol Projects @ 173 Elizabeth Street · November 5 – December 27, 2021

Say hello to Brightland’s first-ever pop-up shop. In 2021, we hosted this charming, picturesque brand in one of our Nolita locations. Bright oranges, yellows, rich dark browns, and crisp, warm autumn tones filled its interior. Its cozy, farmhouse-like atmosphere further reinforced the Thanksgiving and harvest season vibes.

If extra virgin and flavor-infused olive oils, fruity vinegar, and Californian and Hawaiian honeys are your thing, you will enjoy Brightland’s products. Each item is created using locally and responsibly-sourced ingredients, bringing fresh culinary goods from family-run farms to NYC. Everything you need to live well in a ‘golden state.’

Casa Beyt

New York Textile Month · September 19 – 24, 2017

In 2017, Casa Beyt launched its first pop up event and textile workshop for Li Edelkoort’s New York Textile Month. This exhibition featured home decor made by Middle Eastern and Central American artisans.

The name “Casa Beyt” refers to the exhibition’s cross-cultural nature: casa is the Spanish word for “home,” and ‘beyt’ is its Arabic equivalent. Together, they embody the intersection between two cultures, heritages, and ways of life within the universal concept of home. Visitors could browse Oaxacan alpaca pillows, Egyptian kilim rugs, silk-embroidered pillows from Lebanon, Guatemalan hand-painted ceramic plates, and more. Some of the embroideries were stitched by refugee women living in Lebanon, with sales proceeds returned to these craftspeople and donated to NGOs.

Filippa K

Parasol Projects @ 213 Bowery · September 12 – 16, 2018

Filippa K is a Scandinavian men’s and women’s clothing brand offering wearers a balance between style and comfort. At the heart of its mission and values is promoting mindful consumption through long-lasting style and quality. During the fall of 2018, the brand unveiled its Main S19 collection featuring a selection of womenswear and accessories.

Clean, simplistic, and yet elegant, each piece is crafted using high-quality, durable fabrics — from organic cotton, silk, and merino wool to recycled, cruelty-free, and sustainable materials such as Swedish leather and Lyocell.

We Are Knitters

Parasol Projects @ 251 Elizabeth Street · October 15, 2021 – January 13, 2022
