Having been attracted to Berlin because of its history, and fearing the worst because of its tourism, I was all the more pleasantly surprised to find this institution, hardly a five minute walk from the tourist hotspots, sitting serenely on the bank of the Spree river. Dedicated to supporting and publicising what Germany has always been famous for: craftsmanship and design, in the best Bauhaus tradition. Not only do they have the physical goods, but also the geistig ideas, hosting discussions of and around design in the modern economy and geo-political condtions. They also have a very nice cafe with cosy woodstoves!
