EVERY DOOR IS A POP: THE ADVENT CALENDAR FROM KNALLE POPCORN WITH 25 SURPRISES FOR YOUNG & OLD

A little bit of pop every day? This could be your life in December if you opt for the Advent calendar from Berlin popcorn manufacturer Knalle. Aptly named “Adventsknallender“, it is a welcome alternative to the familiar disposable chocolate varieties. The included fabric hanger for 2023 is bursting with goodies – and can then be refilled as you wish next year. There are a total of nine delicious popcorn varieties to discover – two of which are exclusive to this set – including popcorn granola and candied salt pretzels. Look forward to “Almond Orange” and “Dark Chocolate Roasted Almond Cinnamon” – a vegan version from the popcorn manufacturer. For all fans: the all-time favorites “Butter Caramel Tahitian Vanilla” and the classic “Candied Walnut Maple Syrup” are of course also included. So from sweet to salty, from simple to crunchy – everyone will find their favorite here. And nibbling together is of course the motto of the Advent season anyway. Whether at movie screenings on the sofa at home, games evenings or in the office as a small snack to combat the afternoon slump – there’s always someone who wants to have a bite. And one thing is guaranteed: eating popcorn boosts the mood of young and old alike in no time at all. So, if you fancy 25 (yes, 25!) opportunities for feel-good moments – without GMOs, of course, but with popcorn popped with love from Berlin.

THE CAFE’S COFFEE — ROASTED AT COMMUNAL COFFEE IN NEUKÖLLN

THE CAFE’S COFFEE — ROASTED AT COMMUNAL COFFEE IN NEUKÖLLN

Populus on Neukölln’s Maybachufer, Jules in Gleisdreieck or August 63‘s stall at the weekly market on Hohenzollernplatz in Wilmersdorf – these cafés have one thing in common: their individual coffee roasts. This is made possible by the largest co-roastery in Germany: Communal Coffee. Not only do some of your favorite cafés develop their creations here, small and medium-sized specialty coffee brands such as Vote or Tryst also use the shared space and facilities to refine their imported raw beans into the finest espressos and filter coffees. The shared production concept ultimately benefits everyone: the high capacity utilization of the roasting machines and jointly organized logistics, for example, reduce the ecological footprint of all members. In any case, the Berlin coffee scene can no longer be imagined without Communal Coffee. An entire community is emerging around the roastery, which not only focuses on flavors but also on topics such as ethics and sustainability in coffee production.

Professional roasters and coffee enthusiasts regularly come together for talks or tastings – known as cuppings. The project was launched by Philipp Reichel, Sari and Henrik Haavisto and Janusch Munkwitz, who offer a range of services from coffee consulting to contract production in addition to storage, roasting and quality control at their location on Naumburger Straße, just behind the S-Bahn station in Neukölln. If you’ve always wanted to take a look at the scene and train your palate, mark 17.11.2023 in your calendar and be there when Communal Coffee launches its own cupping club “Not so secret society“. It starts at 17h, you don’t need any prior knowledge. Have fun sipping!

AN ARCHIVE SALE NOT TO BE MISSED: BY FAR POP-UP AT THE LOVER’S SPACE

AN ARCHIVE SALE NOT TO BE MISSED: BY FAR POP-UP AT THE LOVER’S SPACE

Timeless and simple, but don’t be fooled, By Far’s designs are far from boring. Whether you’re on the hunt for a new pair of knee-high boots or a modern take on the classic loafer, By Far’s Berlin pop-up has got the goods. Worn by the likes of Barbara Palvin, Kylie Jenner and Suki Waterhouse (to name a few), By Far has been the shoe of choice for celebrities since its inception. If they existed in the 90s, we have no doubt Carrie Bradshaw would have swapped out her Manolos for a pair of their heels quicker than she could write a witty one-liner. The brand was established in 2016 by three sisters — Valentine Ignatova, Sabina Gyosheva and Denitsa Bumbarova — and has since established a cult following. Based in Bulgaria, these styles are stocked in stores across the globe. Here in Berlin, you can find their designs in Voo Store and Kadewe, but they don’t have a brick-and-mortar store of their own. Their November pop-up is a rare opportunity to try on their larger collection.

After all, there’s nothing more enjoyable than a Thursday afternoon spent perusing rows upon rows of shoes, just ask Carrie. This isn’t just any old pop-up, it’s an archive sale with, wait for it, up to 70% off their collection of unique shoes and bags. You’ll be able to score yourself a bargain at The Lover’s Space in Berlin (16.–18.11.2023). The pop-up is being hosted by Little Popup, who showcase slow fashion brands, inspire sustainability, and raise awareness for a better fashion industry. Recently Little Popup have been focusing on archive sales. By working with previous collections and giving them new life, they’re preventing waste and working towards a more sustainable industry. Get your besties together and head to The Lover’s Space to shop By Far’s reinvented 90s silhouettes. Be sure to arrive early, we’re sure there’ll be a line of shoe lovers waiting at the door…

ON STUDIO — HANDMADE CERAMICS IN THE HEART OF GERSWALDE

ON STUDIO — HANDMADE CERAMICS IN THE HEART OF GERSWALDE

In summer, you may have taken a trip to Gerswalde for Parg, Kombini or Grosser Garten. Through fall, foggy mornings start to set in and the garden growth takes rest. Around the corner though, Jeong Hwa Min and Hyemi Cho spend their days at their wheels – throwing clay and perfecting their ceramic artist. An illustrator and photographer, this duo, both from Korea, serendipitously met in Gerswalde. They connected on the way they see the world, and the fact that they were both doing ceramics at home and in need of a place to fire their work. They came up with a solution: On Studio.On 에 in Korean means warmth and wholeness. It’s a homage to the warmth of a potter’s hands as they begin to mold their clay, and the tactile warmth they hope those who enjoy their work will feel from their pieces. As we walk into their studio, we’re welcomed by Jeong to a space that houses their work – bowls, plates, candleholders, jugs and vases sit on shelves and tables with elegance and consideration. The pieces are, as they tell us, a blend of their Korean roots and German practicality – the aesthetic and shapes a mixture where both meet. The warmth is tangible: some pieces are odd, elongated shapes, while other are understated – a white brushed line across the middle of a plate, a speckled glaze around a mug. The space is a shop but also a studio. In two corners are wheels where the pair make their work. Cutters, carvers and cloths sit in arms reach. There are testing squares for glazes, and pieces awaiting glazes on a rack by the kiln. They also offer private classes here and small, tailored group workshops. The space has been a cafe, gallery, hotel and even a movie theater, but for the last three years it’s been home to the studio, where all are invited to have a coffee, a conversation and fill their hands with the warmth of On.

AN ICONIC HINTERHOF SHOP — CONVERSE X VOOSTORE GOLD STANDARD LINE

AN ICONIC HINTERHOF SHOP — CONVERSE X VOOSTORE GOLD STANDARD LINE

I’ve taken several small breaks on the wooden benches and stools at Voo Store after a shopping spree – almost always with a coffee in hand and the sun on my face. This courtyard address off Oranienstrasse has now been physically embroidered onto garments as part of the Converse x VooStore collection. The black and gray hoodies, along with matching sweatpants and T-shirt, are part of the Gold Standard Line from the US lifestyle brand. The fit is relaxed – it’s all about comfort here. In addition to the VooStore address, the embroidery on the hoodies and T-shirt also features another piece of the concept store: the iconic sage-colored framed window and fluorescent tube logo. The model for the campaign is Go Miyazaki, manager of VooDeli – the small food corner that complements the store with natural wines, fresh coffee, pastries and other goodies. On Instagram, he can be seen making a cappuccino in a black hoodie, jeans and the Chuck 70 Vintage Canvas in black. If that makes you want the look, the Gold Standard Line is available exclusively instore and online. Time to pay tribute to a favorite Berlin store!
