The 10 best products made in Berlin
What is made in Berlin rarely travels far: workshop, shop and customers often sit only a few kilometres apart. Mykita builds its glasses by hand in a listed brick building on the Spree in Kreuzberg, using a patented hinge that manages without a single screw. Knalle pops its corn with hot air and no fat in the Helmholtzkiez in Prenzlauer Berg, coats it in caramel and bakes it a second time until it is crisp all the way through. And Kaiserhonig keeps around a hundred and twenty-five bee colonies in the middle of the city, in cemeteries, in community gardens and by a radio tower, harvesting the honey within a radius of fifteen kilometres. Alongside them come watches in the spirit of the Bauhaus, organic spirits from a Kreuzberg backyard, ice lollies made from whole fruit and salad dressings invented in a room of five square metres.
