Photos and descriptions of the spaces where creative minds create. Interviews included. Not only how their daily environment influences their output, but also what’s on their desk and even what’s in their fridge.

So here’s to a Januray present for myself.

Berlin October 26th – 29th.

Curios to see what this new fair is all about.

But I really felt sad when I learned this morning, that Steve Jobs had passed away.
Somehow I wanted to show my respect…

If you haven’t watched it yet, do yourself a favour and spend fifteen minutes on watching this video where Steve talks about “Connecting the Dots”, “Love & Loss” and “Death” to the Stanford graduates back in 2005.

And then remember, it’s a wonderful life…

Could become an addiction.

“A magazine interested in homes, living spaces and design solutions as opposed to houses, photo ops and design dictatorships.”

Probably based on a growing demand in Prenzlauerberg (where I took this photo).

Perfect moped music

It proclaims to be a space that encourages the sharing of tools, knowledge, ideas and skills and organised some activities, Create Berlin Factory at Tempelhof in the next couple of days.

To be honest I’m not convinced by the level/ the substance of the project but then again, I didn’t go yet and maybe it’s all about growing and developing anyway? Collab: Create Berlin and Betahaus

Due to a currently less balanced work load I can’t attend so many events but then again, I don’t think I’ll cry myself to sleep over it.

I will however go to (or have to prioritize between) the Bread & Butter opening + fair, the key to fair, an organic brunch at siebenundsiebzig, the Ellesse by Wood Wood event, Designer Scouts Fashion Show, The Big Trip by Bright, Weekday shop opening and a barbecue at Burg & Schild.

- and check out this post on another Berlin blog, iheartberlin, for more fashion week events!

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm Zentrum, the Humboldt University library.

How impressive is this classic, geometric building with its strict symmetry? Just looking at the photos makes me straighten my back.

Located in Geschwister-Scholl-Straße just behind Friedricshtraße Station.
