Studio Brief 01 - Berlin Research

Getting the opportunity to visit Berlin with uni is great, having visited the city once before when I was much younger I am hoping to see a different side to the city. I have heard a lot about Berlin it seems like it is a great place for young creatives at the moment as there is lots to offer. As well as doing the tourist things and visiting studios etc there has been a number of things that I have found through online research that I want to check out while we are there. 

Soto Store - 

Soto Store is a mens concept clothes store, located in Berlin Mitte. Stores like these are always related to design with the products that they sell and the who they are selling the products to. Although it is not directly connected to design, fashion and design are linked well with the industries linking in many ways. I also like to see how the stores have been designed as well as window shopping. 



Voo Store -

"Voo Store is a culturally empowered, creatively driven concept space located in the heart of Berlin Kreuzberg, occupying a charming 300 square meter courtyard space on the ground floor of a former locksmiths. The street on which the store sits continues to attribute itself to its unique and progressive approach to contemporary fashion." It is in a great area with a lot of cool stuff going on, this part of Berlin is known as the place where a lot of creatives hangout so it will be interesting to see what else is in this area. 


The Barn - 

THE BARN is a leading Specialty Coffee Roastery in Europe. So as a coffee lover it will be great to check this out and another coffee shops in the area. This also links well with my COP 2 research so i will be looking at the branding of as many coffee shops as we go to. 



Hard Wax -

Hard Wax is one of the world's leading shops for cutting-edge electronic dance music, such as techno, house, dub and bass music. As Berlin has such a big reputation for electronic music I am keen to check this place out, as well as just looking at all the cool album art work on the vinyl's. 



Beer/food -

As well as the certain places that I have looked into I am excited to check out local Berlin food places and also drink nice german beer! 

Photography -

I will also be taking the time to photograph as much of the trip as I find this is a great way to look at a city as you tend to find different places and look a place differently if you're looking to photograph it.
