It is hard to pin down a singular definition for BLESS BERLIN, especially when one sets foot in their new space in Oderbergerstrasse. Is it a home, store or gallery? The ‘resident’-cum-representative Cyril Duval came to open the door for us, and then we walk through ‘curtains’ made with showpieces and items from the current collection. Cyril’s spacious desk and fur-lined hanging bed is an edgy take on 21st century modern living. The room on the left is his bedroom, completed with a king size bed covered with BLESS photoprint bedding set. Most of the items on show are available for sale, from accessories hung with outfits to limited editions on display, such as BLESS × Longchamp doughnut-shape tote bag and BLESS × JOYCE stone like iPhone case. Don’t miss out on the double-sided plant also.

The study is not filled with books, but current and previous collections showcasing BLESS signature hairbrush circa 1999, shirt with see-through jacket hung on top of the window, white knitted leather boots on the bookshelf, towel with pockets and other incredible items made in quirky BLESS spirit. After saying ‘please enjoy as your home!’, Cyril went back to his own desk. BLESS claims this new store to be ‘a private island, three floors up and hidden away’ in a remote Berlin residential area. It leaves one with a magical after taste.
