Berlin, the city of awakening, more and more becomes a talking point. The metropolis is popular, innovative, chic, trendy, cool and up to date, has always been up to speed culturally and, last but not least, is the gem of Europe economically. From an artistic point of view, one can hardly hold a candle to Berlin anymore. Already in 2005, our capital has been included in the global network of creative cities by the UNESCO and therefore ranks among the design cities with the greatest productive force and diversity.
Berlin is accepted as the design city of Europe
The award “City of Design” honours not only Berlin itself, but also all the artists who make their mark with fresh ideas, elaborated concepts and projects. Berlin is the first city in Europe that has fairly earned this title and is allowed to bear it.
The UNESCO has figured out a great thing there. To the global network of creative cities belong metropolises like Shanghai and Buenos Aires. The aim is the international interconnectedness of innovative potential and the creation of collaborations, which are supposed to contribute to the support of economic development.
Diversity in the designer scene
Since the turnaround, numerous workshops, exhibitions, showrooms, agencies and sales platforms have been established, such as internet stores. The culture of design is no accident, and is based on the phenomenal development of the “Golden Twenties” back in the days. In addition to design, art and culture, architecture and the fashion industry are on the rise.
And so the design industry has developed into a serious economic factor with at least 1.4 billion euros of turnover per year. With more than 6.300 companies, Berlin is one of the strongest design centers in Europe.
Berlin is the El Dorado for design furniture
Berlin faces the problem of providing new housing space relatively fast, caused by the creation of new jobs by firms that have numerously established themselves in recent years in Berlin. This in turn led to innovative foundations and start-up companies, which deal with furniture design and interior architecture. More and more of Berlin natives and new Berlin citizens place great value on appealing furnishing. The demand caused by the economic boom and an enormous employment creation, is recognised and has been implemented successfully by design furniture companies.
Not only trendy furniture of various style directions are on offer, but also the implementation of space plannings, individual designs and holistic furnishing concepts. It does not matter if rooms, flats, houses or penthouses are to be furnished – the individuality as well as consulting and service are the focus.
Furniture designers offer a first class service
Cultivation of home decor: Depending on the housing, needs are being respected and implemented professionally. Starting with wall paint and wallpapers, flooring up to individual items and total solutions, everything is available for interested parties, be it reputable classics, Bauhaus style, cottage furniture, French style or exclusive illuminants. Designer companies that have specialised in customized solutions, also offer interesting cooperations with renowned and international interior labels as well as experienced craft and media.
The best companies of this kind shine with a selected clientele. So the very first hotels, bars and clubs were fitted by Berlin design companies, as well as the German Bundestag, film productions, the Royal Porcelain Factory, stores, but of course also apartments, condos, single-family houses, villas and lofts.
Those looking for something special and therefore for furniture for a suitable ambience, are also served with a special service. Art and craft go hand in hand at that and so special objects of art, such as paintings, art prints, sculptures, accessories, sound and media furniture of internationally recognized brands, lighting objects and a lot more can be bought. The collaboration with artists and galleries ensures an individual and high-quality interior design for corporate or private spaces.
So the “economic miracle Berlin” significantly contributes to the fact that the designer industry in general, but also the furniture design, grow incessantly. What once started small after the fall of the Berlin Wall, has developed into a strong economic factor.
