SOBER — SKINCARE MADE FOR MEN

In a skincare industry largely catered towards women, men may struggle to find skincare products uniquely suited to their skin’s needs. Berlin-based brand Sober has taken this head-on. Founded by Simon Schier and Philipp Roth in 2017 and motivated by “honest and effective skincare for men,” the brand has developed a line of products covering skincare, shaving, and fragrances. The gentle cleansers and moisturizers are made from consciously-sourced ingredients to reinvigorate sensitive or stressed skin during these cold winter months. All Sober products are free from parabens, nanoparticles, and artificial fragrances. Even the brown frosted glass bottles match the high quality of the formulas. Find the ones that match your skin type in person at their pop-up box in Bikini Berlin or order from their online store. (Text: Michael Rice / Photos: Sober)

GEBRÜDER FRITZ: THE SPACE FOR HOSTING EVENTS TO REMEMBER

GEBRÜDER FRITZ: THE SPACE FOR HOSTING EVENTS TO REMEMBER

Ever had the chance to play host in a grand six-room Berlin Altbau? Your opportunity to do so — whatever the occasion may be — presents itself at Gebrüder Fritz (“Brothers Fritz”, named after the architects who built it in 1899). In a prime location just off Kurfürstendamm, a stylish, spacious (330 sqm) and adaptable apartment has been transformed into a premium event space. Stucco, parquet and wing doors set a sophisticated tone throughout the six rooms, which have been designed to convey a distinctive mood with carefully-chosen furniture and floral arrangements. We’re particularly partial to the peaceful “Grünothek” library, not to mention the generous kitchen, which is fully equipped for catering purposes. Available for rent exclusively in its entirety to corporate customers, Gebrüder Fritz also offers customized event consultation and design for company gatherings, workshops, photo shoots and dinners (the list goes on). If, as they say, location is everything, this address is one to etch into your little black book.

YASUHIRO CÚZE CREATES CERAMICS OF GREAT BEAUTY

YASUHIRO CÚZE CREATES CERAMICS OF GREAT BEAUTY

You might have spotted his smooth white porcelain creations for sale at Nowkoelln Flowmarkt. Or cupped one of his finely-textured bowls in your hands at Shiori or Ernst. From his humble studio in an industrial corner of Britz, Yasuhiro Cúze applies his expert craftsmanship to spinning and hand-forming bowls, cups, vases and sculptural art pieces. Many of them bear his unique take on the traditional Japanese “tobikanna” technique — using the back of a knife to create fine, irregular patterns in the blink of an eyelid. If, like us, you’re too impatient to stumble across his small stand on a Sunday, get in touch for one-of-a-kind creations that make for excellent gifts — as hard as they are to part with.

BAU1HAUS: MODERNISM AROUND THE GLOBE, FROM YOUR ARMCHAIR

BAU1HAUS: MODERNISM AROUND THE GLOBE, FROM YOUR ARMCHAIR

Weimar, 1919: Shortly after the end of World War I, architect Walter Gropius founded the renowned art school whose philosophy continues to resonate throughout the ages: the Bauhaus. What began as an educational institution soon became the epitome of a style that broke with the formal language of the time to create a new aesthetic geared towards functionality. Even today, almost a century later, the epoch-making ideas of that time continue to live on the world over. In his coffee table book “Modernism Around the Globe” (Hatje Cantz, 2018), Berlin photographer Jean Molitor presents an impressive overview of this phenomenon. Since 2009, Molitor has been traveling around the world to document Bauhaus-inspired architecture. Its legacy is not only found in Berlin or Dessau but also in Havana, Casablanca and Tel Aviv. In this way, the book conveys both the far-reaching influence of Bauhaus and the timeless aesthetics of a movement that will soon turn 100 years old. (Text: Lisa Staub / Photos: Pamina Aichhorn).
