Cheers! We made it. It's a strange end to a challenging year. Many of us still have to stay apart during this time of togetherness, so I would like to look back on the positive things that have come out of 2020 in hopes that it brings you a bit of joy.
This year brought us Baby Yoda and entertaining curiosities like Tiger King. But we also witnessed the inspiring strength, selflessness, and resilience of citizens around the world — from the front line workers who put themselves at risk to save others, to the activists who took a stand against racism creating a movement that spanned other countries and cultures. We pulled together as communities to support local businesses and we actually got to see the real impact humans have on the environment. Proof that we can affect change if we all do our part.
On a more individual level, we learned to appreciate the small freedoms we take for granted each day, like a walk in a park or a hug from a friend. We started prioritizing our mental well-being and checking in with our neighbours, coworkers, family and friends. We gained perspective on what we truly need and showed gratitude for everything we already have.
I believe these are the positive things we can carry with us into the future and leave the rest behind. Sending you nothing but love this season. Here's to a better new year!
Olaf.

“I studied industrial and fashion design in Berlin and Paris. Since then I’ve worked for over a decade as designer, design manager and creative director for a variety of European fashion brands. And since a couple of years as creative director for a brand in Berlin."
“After working nonstop in the fashion industry, I was longing to take my creativity out from behind a corporate computer and create something with my own hands which led me to experiment with clay. It initially just started off as some sort of meditational practice and developed over time into my passion and second business."
“As I had only worked for other people's companies, I eventually felt the urge to create a brand that would represent my own aesthetics and values that would help enable me to share what inspired me personally. Therefore, I decided to merge this idea with my passion for crafts and interior and started my own brand 2222STUDIO under which I design, make and sell interior objects. 2222STUDIO was inspired by my lucky number and time 22:22. Since I was a teenager, I have been superstitious about it and believed that catching this time over and over was no coincidence. I always felt compelled to make wishes for a whole minute until this magic alignment of numbers passed. "
“Just do it! I believe that it’s important to start somewhere with a vision and then figure things out along the way. Too much overthinking and doubting upfront will just block you. "
“That it's so versatile, creative, and that I am independent."
“Intuitive, meditative and passionate."
"Okwukwe Na Nchekwube by Celestine Ukwu & his Philosophers"
“Following and building a career for myself that reflects what I am passionate about."
“Taking on an order that exceeded my capacity and really challenged my entire setup."
“Mexico, Japan, Venice."
“Minimal and eclectic."
"All my Jackets and coats."
"I really like the work of Alicja Kwade. But my brain just picks up on everything that I see around me. It could be super and abstract, light, textures, shapes."
