INSIDE BLESS HOME BERLIN


(The apartment's current inhabitant Cyril, wearing one of the infamous fur wigs which caught the attention of Maison Martin Margiela in '96)

When I first started working at Harputs back in 2006, I was introduced to the label BLESS. They're not so definable by genre or aesthetic, as they work with everything from architecture, furniture, clothing, shoes, eyewear, accessories...to put it simply, BLESS is a lifestyle. I would say that BLESS is very good at adding subtle extravagance to the mundane.

Their newest project, "BLESS Home" is an entirely effective way to emerge yourself into the BLESS state of mind. They have set up shop and residence in a fabulous lofty Berlin apartment, which features an archive of pieces & projects, as well as items for use and items for sale. Additionally, whoever is living in the apartment at the time works as caretaker and shop manager, adding their personal paraphernalia to the space. Visits to the space are by appointment and scheduled around when the caretaker decides to be there, however it is open to the public on Thursdays from 4-8pm. For more information, click HERE.




This was truly a showstopper - a mechanized table that rotates over to become a bed.





An old time favorite, the fur hammock








I've always loved their "wallscapes", which are large scale wallpaper'd images of lived-in interiors




What better way to highlight a mess of cords?
