For over a year Nomads Apt. has been Berlin’s go-to unique boutique concept for just about everything you could imagine — from a weekend staycation to an amped up work party and even creative photo and video shoots. In May 2017, they’re expanding their brand with three new, whimsical apartment spaces and an exposed concrete art gallery. Themed, yet open for interpretation and play, Each new apartment has its own name — “Sober”, “Pretty”, and “Flow” — and is decked out with high-end furnishings and one-of-a-kind playful pieces to reflect their particular fantasy worlds. Take Sober’s dance floor that seamlessly transitions into a bed for example, the tiny door à la Alice in Wonderland, or Pretty’s lavish costumes and wigs that are just begging to be played with. Bursting with surprise and delight, paired with extremely detail-oriented and personal service, Sober, Pretty, and Flow are inspiring spaces to keep in mind when planning your next exceptional experience. To celebrate these new work, stay and play environments, check out their gallery opening of artist Lennart Grau‘s powerful paintings and Axel Anklam‘s incredible “Boreaden” exhibition on 29.4.17, from 16-19h.

Take a closer look at the sculptural installations of Kristine Kegelmann and you might find yourself thinking they look good enough to eat. You’d be right — they are. Working exclusively with natural, high quality ingredients, the trained patissier and food artist takes praline creation into the realm of fine art, producing mouthwatering sugar sculptures for exhibitions, events and custom orders. Having just opened her Prenzlauer Berg studio in March 2017, Kegelmann is now inviting the public to experience her edible art through open days and workshops. The next one takes place on 23.3.17, when you can join her for an evening of artistic praline experimentation and creation, inspired by springtime in Berlin. Over wine and savory nibbles, you’ll learn the building blocks of chocolaterie, engage in a chocolate tasting and create your own sugar pieces to take home. Intrigued? Find out more and register here, and support Kegelmann’s endeavors by contributing to her Kickstarter campaign, which ends this Saturday (18.3.17).
