If you are craving a little color in your life on these gray days, then head up to Berlin Mitte-Nord, where a visit to YNT Berlin is sure to enchant and brighten up your mood. Since 2020, Yanti Damerau has been showcasing objects that make life more colorful and cheerful in her extraordinary concept store. Here you will find carefully selected stationery, jewelry, textiles, vases, ceramics, furniture and decorative items for the home. My heart was captured by the wonderful bags from Bazartherapy, exclusively available here, right from my first visit: Printed with retro motifs or in Nathalie Lété’s charming designs, and filled with fantastic knickknacks, they make for the perfect present — and a pleasant surprise for both giver and recipient –- for both young and old. Then there are the incredibly imaginative glass and porcelain goods from Qubus: the best Czech designers combining traditional craftsmanship with pop art and intelligence, which is how they create beautiful vases and humorous pieces like “Waterproof,” a vase that looks like a rubber boot and stands decoratively beside a marble counter. Kept monochrome in white, the beautiful salesroom, stylishly furnished in simple elegance, offers an appropriate stage for fun and pop – the curious eye is sure to always finds eccentric items with bold colors and distinctive shapes. Yanti has created a gem in this area with YNT Berlin, which holds wondrous treasures with a special twist from the European home and abroad for you – and is definitely worth a visit.
