Amazing Department Store Website

June 24th 2009 02:58
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. You can't order anything and 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 humour and a great computer programmer, ya? http://producten.hema.nl/
