–Body Pressure– Sculptures since the 1960’s examines the many different approaches to the human figure in contemporary sculpture through a selection of works from the collections of the National Galeries in Berlin. Free of any exhibition architecture, the expansive Historic Hall is transformed into a light-flooded “sculpture garden”. Often fragmented and abstract the figurative sculpture of the present always negotiates our contemporary social and cultural context.

Berlin: Christmas in KaDeWe
The best time of the year just came to Berlin’s biggest department store- KaDeWe. The main hall is all covered with Christmas Trees, presents, decorations, teddies, honey-cakes… In other words, Christmas is approaching with big steps. The splendour of all these shiny glass balls and cute muppets just make your eyes hurt! But still, it’s really warm and charming!
The Beautiful Mind Series 1.
“From the A Beautiful Mind series, a long-lasting perfume and the floral notes will continue to lure with their exotic whispers for hours and hours. The difference you will notice in the dry down is a softer kind of sultriness (courtesy of the heavy dose of cashmeran) and a woody backdrop that is at once dry (cedar) and sweet (sandalwood).”
With a beautiful packed bottle of fragrance and with a hologram postcard attached to it, this perfume that was created in Berlin, in mind that our brain remember best only the scents, this mixture of oriental aromats is the product of high technology and bio productions. The Beautiful Mind Series 1. is all about Intelligence and Fantasy!
Berlin: Schumacher Love
The beautiful Schumacher boutique is located in the Quartet 206 building, next to stores of Moschino and Brille 54. But first of all, what is Schumacher? No it’s not one of these not popular Parisian labels or something else this type. It’s super famous German label that is known for beautifully made clothes in pretty low prices! All German women have something from Schumacher, and it’s on the level of Miu Miu! Schumacher is design by Miss Dorothee Schumacher, that as she says, designs clothes for women to be completing their looks. Totally agree because every women wering this Berlin based label looks stylish and warm. Just as their woolen sweaters and beautiful, cute dresses. Plus, it is not copying famous designers like Givenchy nor Prada- it has it’s own style, with cute prints and colourful stones attched on the collars and scarves! And this boutique over here is definitely the best of all- with a characteristic Schumacher wallpaper showing their circular packaging boxes, and warm, simpatic pastel colours used on sofas and chairs. Additionally, the service gives you some free Schumacher water! Friedrichstraße 71 in the Quartet 206 
Berlin: Grosz
The Grosz Restaurant is the hottest place in Berlin recently, with it’s majestic interior of a renovated old building on Kudammstarsse. The food here is a mix of European and Asian- you can try here the shrimps, octopuses and clumps in Tempura and also roasted veal with thyme sauce and seasonal vegetables! Maybe the service is rude, but the atmosphere is really beautiful and relaxing after a exhausting shopping day. All cutlery is by Meisel, so pretty exclusive, and on Summer you may sunbathe with some champagne and beef carpaccio in their elegant garden. What more, there is a cute patisserie next to… This restaurant beats all other ones in Berlin with it’s classic, a bit Art Deco design, and delightful cuisine!
