Design Travel With Remodelista Team
We've been admiring Berlin design from afar it seems forever. Of late, when Remodelista editors Sarah and Christine separately took off for the city—Sarah and family are there all spring—we decided it was time to join them. Stay tuned for a week of the latest from Germany, precision-made kitchens and bohemian guest rooms included.

Watch for Sarah's Berlin finds all week. Here's one of her letters home: "People walk or bike everywhere, graffiti is all-pervasive, sneakers are the shoe of choice (forget heels), and when the sun shines everyon spills onto the river banks and sidewalks with beers in hand (it's legal to drink in public, even on trains). Technology is absent in public (it took me a few days to notice that people aren't glued to their phones ); they linger in cafes over breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and there is a collective sense of enjoying the day-to-day, not racing through time. It's a rich and layered city with a heavy history, and even though I'm here for more than a month, it's still not enough."
