Berlin’s about to heat up fast — and we’re talking style, not sunshine. As this summer’s Fashion Week descends upon the city, the trade fashion show for contemporary fashion, Seek, is curating its first pop-up shop to help you stay cool with hand-picked fashion, food and lifestyle accessories. From next Tuesday to Saturday (4-8.7), the “All White Everything”-themed pop-up will take over Fechtner Delikatessen. Keen to be amongst the first to check it out? Join us next Monday (3.7) at the launch event for issue six of Seek’s magazine, exploring all things “Super Natural”. Brought to you by Cee Cee Creative, this edition delves into Simon Denny’s view on the future of finance, contemporary wisdom conjured up by Durga Chew-Bose, spellbinding cocktail recipes from around the world and a whole lot more. Join us for a drink, browse the alabaster shop surrounds and get your hands on a copy — plus, if you’re lucky — a fortune cookie for the road. See you there!

Another weekend, a little bit wiser. The sixth Cee Cee Lesson, held last weekend in Vienna, taught us how to work with a 1968 letterpress using original vintage wood and lead drums, and the techniques required to create manual linocuts. As always with the Cee Cee Lessons, we were there to learn from the experts — and of course experience the satisfaction of creating something ourselves, guided by the motto “hands on” since we launched in 2015 in partnership with the team from Bulleit Whiskey. Following the post-workshop sundowner, we returned to Berlin not only with our prints and new knowledge, but with many new friends in Vienna. This autumn, the Cee Cee Lessons will continue.

Since 2016, two Berlin hospitality industry stalwarts have been quietly working together to up the stakes for exquisite and personalized culinary creativity. For your next dinner celebration, birthday party or work function, note the name Purgal & Kelm and prepare for your mouth to water. Cze Purgal, former owner of Tin and consultant for Grill Royal and Beuster Bar, and Henning Brauer, previously chef at Tin, Horvath and Sage Restaurant, work their expert magic with fresh, regional ingredients for myriad dining situations, from intimate dinners to finger food for crowds of 500. Then there are monthly supper clubs, hosted in a secret location. The round we attended, based on Asian spring flavours, saw us feast on king prawns, cubed mango, papaya and pureed wild herbs, with a dessert of coconut, lemongrass and cashew. Presented with service that is at once effortlessly professional and genuinely personal, the Purgal & Kelm experience is a secret we can’t help but share — and drool over, again and again.
