When they opened "Lokalgold" in March 2017, the goal of industrial designers Laura and Anna was to provide a suitable platform for design from Magdeburg and the surrounding area. The two friends started the concept store as a high school project, not only to sell goods, but values also. These include quality, sustainability, craftsmanship and creativity. Furniture, home accessories and paper goods are here both as a small series or single piece.
The two have renovated and designed the shop themselves, which was a former workshop in the courtyard of a creative centre. But they didn't have the means to replace the damaged tiled floor. So Parador decided to support the project as part of its campaign "40 years, 40 projects" with the vinyl flooring Oak Studioline sanded wide plank. The new flooring definitely contributes a lot, it makes people feel comfortable and linger here, says Laura. Anna adds: “Thanks to the new flooring the room looks so much lighter and calmer than before.”

Anna and Laura developed their idea for Lokalgold as part of a high school project. Now they are running the concept store together in Magdeburg.

The shop used to be a workshop whose tiled floor was severely damaged. Anna: "We paid for everything out of our own pocket and there was nothing left over for a new flooring."

Parador supported the two designers with the vinyl flooring Oak Studioline sanded wide plank, the Uno-Protect underlay and decor skirting boards in plain white.

Lokalgold provides a platform for design from Magdeburg and the surrounding area. Furniture, home accessories and paper goods are here both as a small series or single piece.

Hot drinks and the light flooring laid without joints contribute to the cosy atmosphere of the concept store.
