Walking into Wishbone Studio feels like the spark of luck you feel when you snap off the bigger half of the bone. Started six years ago, Wishbone’s Neukölln studio opened in February 2021 and is as colorful and inviting as she is. What started as a creative outlet is now a fully fledged studio where Margaret and her team conceptualize and build events. From serviettes naturally dyed with turmeric to floral installations draped from ceilings, or the anthuriums threaded with string she designed for our latest Cee Cee dinner, Margaret and her team’s approach is playful and unique to each event.
Inside the studio are boxes of beads and pearls on a huge table, arranged experiments sitting on plinths, cut stems askew the floor. A fire warms the room. Green satin curtains hide shelves full of treasures – Margaret talks us through the vases and trinkets she’s collected through her many collaborations and clients. It’s clear that community is a value of hers – from the way she lists the names of the ceramicists she loves to the Babes Brunches she runs. Her experience is extensive: Proofxyz, Sonos and Berlin Photo Week are among her clients. If you are planning an event and want to draw on this experience, you can get in touch with Margaret by email. Or, if you just want to get your hands on the flowers, this Valentine’s Day (14.02.2023) Wishbone are taking to the street with a cart called “Forget Me Not” from which they’ll sell single stems that have been adorned with ribbons and pearls and thoughtfully wrapped. They will do a small tour from Alexanderplatz through Hackescher Markt and ending at Château Royal alongside their Valentine’s Day Special. If you don’t have the chance to catch them on-the-go, you can stop by Treat in Schillerkiez where they’ll have stems for sale as well.
