Christmas is getting closer, the days feel shorter every day and December has barely begun before the pre-Christmas chaos sets in. Secret Santa, Christmas parties, writing cards, getting presents (and wrapping them), the list goes on. This weekend you can cross at least one item off your long to-do list, because Berlin is once again offering a weekend filled to the brim with pop-ups – the perfect opportunity to support local brands and grab some great gifts for your loved ones (and yourself). On Friday (08.12.2023), you can start your winter market tour with an aperitivo at Atelier.süd in Kreuzberg and browse through a curated selection of inspiring brands. Hand-woven bags by rayas, colorful lanterns from Japan by kombini kiosk, ceramics by Wendy Taylor &&& – it will be hard to leave empty-handed. If you can’t make it on Friday, the pop-up will take place all weekend – snacks and wines from Slovenia will be awaiting you too! If you want to start your Saturday or Sunday with freshly baked pastries, coffee and apple punch, then Taktil is the place for you. With a warm drink in your hand, you’ll find jewelry by Elena Tezak and yccij (youcancallitjewellery), limited edition hats and bags by Studiomilch and handmade boxes by vier ecken. On Sunday (10.12. and 17.12.) you should definitely stop by for the soft launch of Velella.
The event studio in Wedding is a new project by Chelsea Turowsky, who you probably already know from her breathtaking event and catering designs, as the founder of the Berlin jewelry label Miglé and other personal projects. The space will be inaugurated with a winter market that invites you to linger — and has probably the most beautiful gifts this year. Here you will find works by artist Charlotte Adam, candles by Luce and the comfiest pajamas by Tom Àdam. After the weekend, your wallet might be a lot lighter, but your gift-giving and seasonal joy will be all the greater.
