Do stay a while, it is so beautiful.Once upon a time, there were three friends. They had had enough of virtual market spaces at changing online start-ups. They felt the need to be closer to the product, closer to the people. The need to keep things simple: exchange of money for goods, a good ol’ chinwag topped off with an old fashioned handshake. Longing for the real deal, they did what they had to do: they found a beautiful empty historic post office building, filled it with the most stunning and unusual products they could get their hands on, organized a Christmas Design Market and finally opened an authentic and to-the-core General Store (Guessing this will be a new Berlin favourite!). Located on Tempelhofer Ufer, Hallesches Haus itself is a wonderful place and well worth a trip. And with all the work Jillian, Oliver and Michelle have put (and are still putting) into it you’ll never want to leave. Lovely furniture made in Berlin showcases manufacturers and their products, such as the incredible Juniper Ridge room scents, the absolutly beautiful Future Maps and lovely paper jewels made by Wednesday Paper Works as well as classics like Opinel knives and outdoor dishware by Stanley. Fill up on freshly brewed coffee, homemade sandwiches, salads and sweets in the restaurant. Part of the area is available to rent as an event location aswell. Since March, Hallesches Haus is open from 9 a.m.–7.p.m. and things will really get moving in June. A fully equipped kitchen offering a complete menu, an enlarged venue space and changing events will surely turn this gem into the next Berlin hotspot in no time. So shop – and eat – till ya drop! |
