SOLIDARITY CRATES FROM BERLINER BERG — RAISE A GLASS TO BERLIN’S CLUB CULTURE

SOLIDARITY CRATES FROM BERLINER BERG — RAISE A GLASS TO BERLIN’S CLUB CULTURE

We are big fans of the Berliner Berg brewery, and as the weather begins to get milder the balcony once again becomes a hospitable place for one of their refreshing beers. Further good news: your next drink can be all the more rewarding. Out of solidarity with Berlin’s struggling nightlife sector, the Neukölln brewery are donating the proceeds from the next 500 crates of their lager that they sell to Clubcommission Berlin, the association representing the city’s hard-up party venues. The crisp, light lager is the perfect accompaniment to dinner or your next living room party-for-one; the best part being you can have a well-earned drink and show support for clubs and creatives too. Cheers to that. (Text: Benji Haughton / Photos: Berliner Berg & Sophie Döring)

You can buy a crate and support Berlin’s clubs on the Berliner Berg online shop.

LONELY ON TOP — TEJU COLE TAKES US ON A JOURNEY OF THOUGHT

LONELY ON TOP — TEJU COLE TAKES US ON A JOURNEY OF THOUGHT

If you want to gain an understanding of contemporary America, you should read Teju Cole’s novels, essays and New York Times column. And if you want to get a new perspective on the world, you should take a look at his photographs. Cole does not capture the typical sights on his travels, and there’s more to his images than your typical Insta-friendly snaps. Published by Mack, Cole’s new book “Fernweh” brings together photos taken across Switzerland – from Ticino and Lake Geneva to Graubünden – over a period of five years. Cole juxtaposes images of empty hotel rooms, bus stops, dusty antique shops and viewing platforms with text fragments from Karl Baedeker’s “Switzerland: Handbook for Travelers”, an 1844 travel guide that made the Baedeker name synonymous with mass tourism amongst German speakers. With every click on the shutter release, Cole furthers his enquiry into how we can capture the essence of places so permeated by both history and picture postcard ideals. This volume is a thoughtful and much-needed visual escape. (Text: Laura Storfner / Photos: Teju Cole, images from Fernweh – courtesy of the artist & Mack)

HELPING DOGS IN NEED — PICTURE BOOK AND BAGS FROM CLOUD7 AND EVERYDAYSTRAY

HELPING DOGS IN NEED — PICTURE BOOK AND BAGS FROM CLOUD7 AND EVERYDAYSTRAY

We all love to pamper our four-legged friends, but what about the dogs that don’t get cute collars and daily hugs? As part of their RESC7UE charity project, dog design brand Cloud7 are now giving something back with a new photo book, Everydaystray, bringing to attention the less lucky dogs on the streets of Eastern Europe. The in-house produced collection of pictures from Austrian photographer Robert Altermoser documents the tough lives of homeless dogs, many of whom fear for their lives daily. With images that are by turns heartwrenching and endearing, the book shows these animals’ plight in the rawest way, making for a thought-provoking coffee table tome – the proceeds from which go to support street dogs in Bulgaria. For those looking for a more practical way to support dogs, there are also six delightful tote bags created with illustrators Walter Glassof, Michael Goodson and Anna Süßbauer to be had. Finished with an elegant silk print on organic cotton, they are a lovely – and worthwhile – tribute to our love for our furry companions. (Text: Benji Haughton / Photos: Cloud7)

Everydaystray (2020, 80 pages, with photos from Robert Altermoser)
You can buy both the book and the tote bags online, with all proceeds going to the Everydaystray project.

SNEAKER RESCUE — REFRESH YOUR TREASURED TRAINERS

SNEAKER RESCUE — REFRESH YOUR TREASURED TRAINERS

We’re all trying to reduce, reuse and recycle. And while your smart shoes can be cleaned and repaired all over town, your sneakers are a different story. Too often, worn out trainers end up being thrown away, and this is what motivated 23-year-old Hagen Matuszak to start Sneaker Rescue, the repair and cleaning service that will give your favorite pair of shoes a new lease of life – no matter how beaten up they seem. Having always repaired his own sneakers, Pankow-born Hagen went pro in 2018, first operating out of his Prenzlauer Berg flat. Now you can bring your shoes directly to their Neukölln workshop, or just send the four-man team a picture of your pair and they’ll message you back with a quote. Simply send your shoes in and after around 10–14 days they’ll be posted back – repaired, cleaned and refreshed. Your feet – and the planet – will be grateful.
