sunday song

david bowie, where are we now?

hope you had a lovely weekend!

coffee and books

Meeting my friend Ines for a coffee at Barcomi's I finally had time to visit the Gestalten Space. Next to selling their books and lovely things, they always have a small exhibition. Currently it's Here or there by Oliver Jeffers. I especially loved the chalk quotes on the black wall and the Mao pieces.

And being a designer (or a girl) I got very obsessed about their books. These are my top three (which I didn't buy, but I am still thinking about them).

Forever. The new Tattoo
I've been thinking about getting a tattoo for a long time, but I still haven't found that one thing I want to have on my body for the rest of my life. Or maybe I have. I dunno. Anyway, I found this book and I'm in love with it and I want to have it.

Delicate.
To me Food and Eating Design is the ultimate Interaction Design. It's culture, rituals, communication and the very basic act of sharing food. I love how different meals are 'orchastrated' and the act of having a meal, which we do ever so often without even thinking about it, becomes a new experience. And secondly, I enjoy how the tables, rooms and plates are set up.

Echoes of the Future 
Amazing, simple, beautiful, stunning graphic design and branding. Simply inspiring. I want it.

2013

Welcome 2013. After a lovely night with friends, glitter, food, a doggy, play, booze and love - here you are. I know you will be a year of transition. A year full of changes and sensations. That makes me feel super excited and a little uneasy all at once. What will come and what will go?
When it comes down to it, you feel auspiciously promising, 2013.

Baking

For me, baking is a part of Christmas season. So I spent most of my time this weekend in the kitchen. We only used recipes we found in 'Hilda - Mädchen und Kekse' (girls and cookies). It's a lovely eMag  (German only) where you can find cookie recipes and easy DIYs for homemade chai tea or herbal salt. They even added a PDF so you can print the recipes only. Check it out here or here.

December in Berlin

Winter's here. There was snow, beautiful snow, a white city. Santa Claus (Nikolaus) was here and left me a very sweet greeting. We went to the annual christmas bazaar in the church in Fuldastraße and we went to the 'Berliner Dom' to listen to Bach's Christmas Oratorio. I love this season and I can't to wait to spend time with my family this weekend.
