Picture 2This is really clever and a fab internet experience…unlike anything I’ve seen before

HEMA is a Dutch department store. The first store opened on November 4, 1926, in Amsterdam. Now there are 150 stores all over the Netherlands .

Take a look at HEMA’s product page. It’s in Dutch – but just wait a couple of seconds and watch what happens. Don’t click on any of the items in the picture, just wait and see what happens. This company has a sense of humor and a great computer programmer, who has too much time on his hands.

Click here and enjoy – you need sound to enjoy it best!!
