Björkåfrihet Backaplan is a second-hand shop on Ångpannegatan 5 in Gothenburg. It covers 1,600 square metres and sells clothing, shoes, furniture, books, porcelain and household items. Visitors can browse across those categories, whether they are looking for clothes, things for the home or books. New pieces are added every day, so the selection changes as stock comes in. The store is aimed at vintage lovers, bargain hunters and sustainability-minded shoppers.

Björkåfrihet has roots in the international solidarity movement. For more than 50 years, it has combined reuse with active support for human rights. Shopping there contributes to efforts in places including Palestine and Western Sahara, and supports undocumented people in Sweden. Visitors can also donate clothes and other items. Donated goods can find new homes and new purposes. A visit can mean browsing or buying second-hand goods, or bringing items to donate.
