Fake French

A couple of weeks ago i popped over to Berlin to explore it’s sights and sounds. I generally find the subtle details of design in a new location or context to be the most fascinating. The fact that all the subway stations were colour coded, the typography used on the street signs and the freedom of which Berlin’s graffiti scene was allowed…

However, i think the most remarkable thing about the city (from a design perspective) was the pride in which virtually every shop / bar / restaurant took in it’s presentation and appearance. Maybe it’s the Bauhaus’ influence? or maybe it’s just the youthful & creative nature of the city?

All in all Berlin was super inspiring, despite me not actually making it inside the Bauhaus archive.
