It's usual, on the walk from Rosenthaler Platz to Hackescher Markt, to be arrested by the new, and so I was unsurprised but still pleased to see fresh display windows near the corner of Rosenthaler and Linienstrasse. s.wert design offers architectural motifs from Berlin reenvisioned as pillows, lamps, wrapping paper, and postcards, with a focus on now-demolished postwar façades; I think the freshness of their colours contrasts nicely with their subjects. One wall boasts samples of Daniel Ginelli's Dump Art: droll pairings of a photo with a deadpan German product.
