I discovered an amazing website called Freunde von Freunden which operates quite similar to The Selby but in German. It’s full of beautiful photos of homes and working spaces including interviews. The location is primarily based in Berlin.

One of the homes that caught my attention was this amazing apartment that belongs to Ines Colmorgen + André Wyst. I can’t read German but according to the Google translation, it seems like André works as an art director for a magazine and Ines owns a shop for kid’s clothing. I highly recommend checking out their site to see more pictures!
