Furniture retailer set to replace German baker in Bruntsfiel­d

- By EMMA NEWLANDS

A Danish furniture retailer is to open its first-ever outlet in Edinburgh, having inked a tenyear lease for a site in Bruntsfiel­d.

Nordic Living by Biehl will open its doors next month after moving from Copenhagen to set up business in the capital, having identified Bruntsfiel­d Place as a suitable location for its inaugural premises.

It will replace German pastry chef and baker Falko Burkert’s Falko (Konditorme­ister), which has spent more than ten years trading at the site.

In a deal brokered by the Edinburgh commercial agency branch of chartered surveyor Allied Surveyors, a new lease has been agreed on the 1,600 square-foot unit with a private landlord at an undisclose­d rent. The landlord was represente­d in the transactio­n by Links CPC.

Allied Surveyors’ director of commercial agency (east) Iain Mercer said of the new tenant: “This is an exciting new concept, which will see modern and vintage Danish furniture design brought to Bruntsfiel­d for the first time.”

It comes after Burkert in July closed his premises in Gullane, East Lothian, and moved to a new café/restaurant unit at the George Court developmen­t in Haddington town centre.

He said: “The time was right for us to focus all of our attention on one location in East Lothian and we should like to wish Nordic Living by Biehl every success in Bruntsfiel­d.”
