In the #coolshop section we have introduced you to many beautiful shops all over Europe, but Berlin also has a lot to offer. This time we are introducing you to a Pickmotion veteran who has had our cards in their range since our beginnings: the Papierhaus in Schöneberg with the online shop Cailun.
In our #awesomeshop segment we introduce you to the most beautiful and unusual shops and their owners who sell our postcards. One of these special shops is Muster: The Scandinavian-inspired shop in Tallinn, Estonia invites you to dream and discover with its pastel, romantic look! Katariina Kalda, who takes care of the interior design in addition to PR, tells me what makes Muster special and what she likes best about our cards.
This time I'm taking you on an unusual #awalkthrough Moscow. "Unusual" because I'm not showing you the typical sights, but my personal Moscow, as I see and perceive it when I'm there often, because my photographic approach stems more from anthropological-ethnographic observations and the documentation of everyday life.
He loves post-war modernism (it can also be monumental), likes to discover the undiscovered (and keeps it to himself) and he has a fear of heights (and overcomes it) - because in the end, the photo is more important. @mollorange.berlin is one of the quiet ones on Instagram - he uploads many of his photos without any captions - and often without even mentioning where they were taken - just as secretive as @lindaberlin or @konaction. We met Karsten Knorr in the Bulbul in Kreuzberg and spoke between Arabic books, Persian carpets and vintage furniture.
Ruhrpott – that’s steel, coal, beer and football. But far from it – there’s a lot more than just that.
Design, lifestyle and trends can also be found here. A very special oasis of the modern, creative lifestyle is our #awesomeshop of the month - "Entertainment Favorites".
Since our cards are now available all over Europe, today in our #geilerladen segment, in which we regularly introduce unique and beautiful shops and their owners, we are showing you something very special from Portugal: The Rota do Chá teahouse! My interview partner Miguel realized his dream in 2002 and created the relaxation paradise in Porto with its oriental-inspired design. In our little chat, he tells me what he likes most about his work and why our cards are a perfect fit for a teahouse.
We meet Vedad as he is passing through - he has just returned from Bosnia, his homeland - and is stopping off in Berlin on his way to Hamburg. He talks quickly, gesticulates, laughs and takes us on a journey to his previous projects.
Pickmotion is available all over Europe - and that's why in our #awesomeshop segment, in which we introduce great and unique shops and their owners, we're showing you a beautiful little shop in France today that invites us to dream about Antibes: Le Vélo de Léon! Luisa, who runs the shop with her husband Jacques, told me in our little interview what makes her shop special and of course what she likes best about our cards.
In August we went on a weekend trip to Rome, the capital of Italy, and since I can't resist documenting everything on film, I managed to get quite a few pictures despite the summer heatwave. Because of my interest in the experimental, I captured Rome from a variety of different angles to show the variety of ways of looking at and perceiving this breathtaking city. So come along with me on my tour of Rome.
Our cards are now available all over Europe and in our #awesomeshop segment you can find out more about the most beautiful and unique shops and their owners. Optiks is one of these shops and we can hardly get enough of the beautiful glasses, jewelry and clothes (and of course our cards)! Despite the recent renovation of the shop, Katharina, the owner of Optiks, found time to tell me what she likes best about Pickmotion and what makes her shop so special!
My favorite trade fair is Maison & Objet in Paris and here I’ll tell you why.
You know her as @laomapupi on Instagram - a strange, weird name? It's hard to believe that it's thanks to a Hawaiian name generator! This time our interview guest, real name Steffi, was invited to sit on the couch in our Pickmotion office. Her gallery follows a sophisticated lighting dramaturgy and captures not only the port city of Stralsund but also the rough and tumble of Berlin. We talked about the scent of her homeland, color aversions and the perfect picture.
