Spring is finally making its way through the grey of last winter. The first flowers will soon shoot out of the ground, the trees will start to bloom, the sun will appear more often and the temperatures will rise. To help the season and its arrival along a little, we want to inspire you with a few very special photographic mood makers for the upcoming colorful flowers and blossoms. To get you in the mood for spring as much as we are, we have put together a few spring pictures for you here.
We are approaching the end of the winter trade fair marathon and have just finished Paperworld, while Ambiente is still ahead of us. Both in Frankfurt, the Manhattan of Germany, also affectionately known as Mainhattan. This city is a cultural hotspot, a hub for modern architecture and also the financial centre of Europe. The city itself is not a city of a million, but it is still one of the global players in urbanism. Would you like to pay the city a visit? Then let our #awalkthrough inspire you to see more than just the skyline.
Hamburg - for us the second most beautiful city in the world - is something very special. One of the largest ports in Europe, Hanseatic culture and history, a good pinch of humor, North German serenity and now and again a bit of crappy weather. The city is bursting with multicultural hotspots and special features such as the Reeperbahn or the Schanzenviertel. Art, music and creativity can be found on almost every corner and the Alstersee is one of the most beautiful city lakes in the world. We are here again because we are at the Nordstil. Come by, visit us at the exhibition stand and let our #awalkthrough inspire you for your own walk through the city.
