KEYLESS RIDES WITH SWISS STYLE AND LOTS OF POWER — E-BIKES FROM EGO MOVEMENT

KEYLESS RIDES WITH SWISS STYLE AND LOTS OF POWER — E-BIKES FROM EGO MOVEMENT

Are they a gamechanger or simply the new normal? We think it’s both! We’re talking about e-bikes, which are now an integral part of Berlin’s streetscape. EGO Movement, a Swiss company that specializes in stylish e-bikes, is now getting on board with this trend. So if you’re thinking about adding a bit of smartness and power to your cycling, this Friday (12.05.2023) is the best opportunity. That’s when the first EGO Movement flagship store opens in Berlin, inviting you to take a test ride while enjoying drinks and snacks. Whether it’s a lightweight electric bike, an elegant city ride or a practical cargo vehicle, the choices are varied. What you always get is elegant design and smart functions. The Cleopatra model, for instance, comes in bronze with a brown leather saddle and handlebars for a classic Dutch-style look. None of the models needs a lock, because they are opened by phone. To learn all about these two-wheeled wonders, stop by the EGO Movement shop and take a test ride around Gendarmenmarkt. In addition to bikes, there are accessories including helmets and baskets to check out and purchase. You might be getting from A to B in style while doing something for the environment sooner than you think: EGO will be giving away a bike to one very lucky attendee. For your chance to win: get yourself to the shop starting tomorrow (12.05)!

DAILY PAPER X SOUVENIR OFFICIAL HOODIE — LIMITED EDITION GARMENT PAYS HOMAGE TO AFRICAN DIASPORA

DAILY PAPER X SOUVENIR OFFICIAL HOODIE — LIMITED EDITION GARMENT PAYS HOMAGE TO AFRICAN DIASPORA

It doesn’t look like t-shirt weather just yet, so here’s something to keep you cozy: Berlin-based fashion brand Souvenir Official has teamed up with Dutch streetwear label Daily Paper to design a limited edition hoodie. Decorated with a variety of stars and symbols from different African flags, the garment is a reminder of the power of connecting communities and expressing identity, culture and togetherness. It follows Souvenir Official’s EUnify collection that launched in 2017 and featured the design of a broken EU flag as a call to action during the Brexit era. For its part, Daily Paper has cultivated a community of multidisciplinary creatives who celebrate their backgrounds and inspire garments that reflect diaspora culture. The hoodie is available now online or if you fancy doing some shopping IRL you can head down to the Souvenir’s Giftshop on 22.04 (14-20h) for a special Earth Day celebration in collaboration with Holla Botanics. They’ll be displaying some special floral installations alongside sips courtesy of Nature’s calling.

It’s a situation we all know: you’re out and about in town, enjoying the return of blue skies, when you suddenly remember that you forgot to put on sunscreen. Finding effective sun protection that’s pleasant to apply and sustainably produced is easier said than done. Luckily, (local) help is at hand courtesy of the folks at i+m Naturkosmetik Berlin, who have developed a line of mineral, waterproof Sun Protect products that includes perfume-free creams for sensitive skin and an after-sun gel with organic aloe vera, hyaluron and mild mint to give your sun-stressed face and body a boost. The products are vegan, nanoparticle-free*, coral reef-friendly and don’t leave white residue. A new addition is the tinted SPF 30 cream with a light, nourishing and skin tone balancing effect that makes it a good tinted moisturizer. It includes Karanja oil, vitamin E and sunflower seed oil to give the skin antioxidants and protect against free radicals. Whichever product you go for, you can be sure you’re keeping your skin safe – letting you enjoy that well-earned ice cream in the sun even more…

LIFESTYLE FESTIVAL WITH SUSTAINABLE FASHION, FUN DESIGN PIECES, LIVE BANDS, DJ SETS AND STREET FOOD — THE NIGHTMARKET

LIFESTYLE FESTIVAL WITH SUSTAINABLE FASHION, FUN DESIGN PIECES, LIVE BANDS, DJ SETS AND STREET FOOD — THE NIGHTMARKET

With a vintage Japanese blouse in one hand and a Brammibals donut in the other, you look out over an abundance of wonderful and weird wares. In one corner you see handbags made of old bits of sneaker, in another are lycra bodysuits with a print that can only be described as “phallus-meets-church-window”. No, this isn’t a post-Berghain fever dream: it’s precisely what you will encounter at The Nightmarket, a two-day fashion and design market that brings together everything from sustainable garments to spicy street food (28 & 29.04.2023). Held under one big roof at Nåpoleon Komplex in Friedrichshain, the Frankfurt-founded event will be highlighting 50 small, local designers based in Berlin. Wardrobe wise, you’ll find shiny no-waste party wear from Impari, body-blessing tops and sets from Stella Graber and the aforementioned sneaker bags from Haram.

Beyond clothing, you can check out tongue-in-cheek candles and soaps from That Gay Creation and designs from Berlin’s favorite unicorn artist Roy DrawsDas Wetter magazine will be there with their latest issue, as will stylish sexual wellness brand Nevernot. Once your shopping bag is full, you can take a break with a taco or two (or three) from the food corner outside while catching some live music. But take your time: both days go on until 2am, with a Secret-Warehouse Party at 22h with DJs ‘til late. All-day fashion, food and fun – what more could our spring selves want?

PASTEL FLOWERS, DISCO BALLS & DIY INTERIORS — DISCOVERING COLORS AND SHAPES AT TÄNII FLOWERSTUDIO

PASTEL FLOWERS, DISCO BALLS & DIY INTERIORS — DISCOVERING COLORS AND SHAPES AT TÄNII FLOWERSTUDIO

From outside it looks like an ordinary florist, but inside Tänii Flowerstudio is a pastel dream come true. Everything here is out of the ordinary, from the beautifully curated flower selection to the disco balls and tiled plinths and checkout counters. On entry you’ll be greeted with a wide smile, a polite hello and some K-pop in the background. Owner Taeyeon Park had free reign to create her unique shop, a fascinating mix of color and glitter which, though busy, remains bright, charming and understated. There are many flowers, all of which are beautiful (it’s tempting to ask for a bouquet with everything). Born and raised in Korea, Taeyeon moved to Germany in 2010 to learn to become a florist. After three years of training she ended up at Marsano, becoming a certified florist before opening her own shop in Gesundbrunnen almost two years ago. Taeyeon’s flowers are unlimited in their color, shape and composition, and can be combined with self-knitted woolen flower pot covers, fancy wreaths, dried flowers and greeting cards.

A flower arrangement from Taeyeon is an absolute must, however: give her carte blanche and she will conjure up the perfect bouquet wrapped in color-coordinated tissue paper. Her hands seem to work instinctively to create arrangements that are light, dreamy and playful. If you want to bring some color to a gray day or give your loved ones (or yourself) a present, Taeyeon is the right person for the job. Oh, and besides flowers, she has started offering something quite unexpected but extremely cute: photoshoots with babies and flowers in the back room. We like!
