This weekend (8-9.12.2018), you’re invited to their Christmas market for some ethical gift shopping. Also on offer will be textiles from Intrepid Shepherd, accessories from Project Três and home goods from Studio TR.

GRASS IS THE NEW PINE: ADVENT & BLACK FRIDAY AT MARSANO

GRASS IS THE NEW PINE: ADVENT & BLACK FRIDAY AT MARSANO

This Advent, Marsano is swapping pine needle wreaths and the other usual festive deco suspects for a trans-seasonal concept. Inspired by pastoral German landscapes — as viewed from a train window this long, hot summer just gone: grasses are the hero material in its pre-Christmas offerings this year, some of which were hand collected on Sylt. The grass theme was not only chosen for its delightful aesthetic effect, but also with sustainability in mind: the wreaths last far past December, making for beautiful wall decorations well into the new year. Marsano’s candles abide by the same principle: their high-quality Swiss stumps have a burning time of around 180 hours. Tonight (22.11.2018, 17h) marks the official opening of the Advent exhibition: Now’s the time to nab the most beautiful wreaths (and enjoy a glass of wine). P.S. Should you stop by Friday, you’ll have the chance to take home a bit of non-floral deco, too — thanks to a Black Friday discount of 20% on all non-Christmassy objects, furniture and accessories.

HAY FOR SONOS — CRISP SOUND IN A FRESH COLOR PALETTE

HAY FOR SONOS — CRISP SOUND IN A FRESH COLOR PALETTE

You don’t have to be a synesthete to embrace the connection between color and sound, though a little help from design experts doesn’t hurt. Sonos has teamed up with Danish design darlings Hay to launch a limited edition set of five Sonos One speakers in tones as rich as those coming out of them. The color options (Pale Yellow, Light Grey, Soft Pink, Forest Green and Vibrant Red), were selected from the Hay palette 2018, designed to add a jolt of eye-catching contrast to any room — and provide the seamless sound experience ensured by the Alexa-integrated Sonos One speaker. Test them out for yourself tonight at a launch celebration at Sonos Store Berlin, where local artists Quintessenz have created a custom installation that will be accompanied by NTS-curated “Sound of Color” mixes, as well as drinks and finger food — plus the chance to take your favorite color straight home with you. RSVP here. (Text: Anna Dorothea Ker / Photos: Sonos)

VIA FILM AND FOOD, CLAM CLUB SHINES THE SPOTLIGHT ON WOMEN

VIA FILM AND FOOD, CLAM CLUB SHINES THE SPOTLIGHT ON WOMEN

One film, multiple courses and myriad new connections brought together from a feminist perspective: Founded by Kathrin Kuna in November 2017, Clam Club has been turning the spotlight on women who are working wonders in the film and food industries in Berlin and beyond. All genders are invited to experience an evening of inspiration, exchange and delicious food: the 6th round of which takes place next Saturday (10.11) at Pahr. In focus (and in conversation) this round are the multi-talented Leila El-Kayem, whose second short film, “Don’t Trust the Border”, will be screened — along with a dance performance by Jessica Nupen, whose choreography the film reinterprets. Taking care of the food will be Joyce Hermlin, a Kenyan-born chef takes inspiration from her grandmother’s farm in her cooking. If previous editions are anything to go by, this is one evening you won’t want to miss. Round up your friends and secure your tickets here. (Text: Anna Dorothea Ker / Photos: Luke Marshall Johnson)
