Chamber of Marvels

The Corner/Berlin

CHAMBER OF MARVELS

Emmanuel de Bayser and Josef Voelk have once again proved their uniqueness with their third store in Berlin. The premises, located in the legendary former Hotel Bogota in “Schlüterstrasse”, combine Marie Antoinette romanticism with contemporary brutalism. “We need to be outstanding, which is why the best stores in the world are our benchmark,” de Bayser says. He and Voelk would never indulge in Berlin’s navel-gazing. Off-White, Balenciaga, Celine, Jaquemus, and The Row are the larger brands in the product range. The Corner counters the elegance of West Berlin with a furnishing concept featuring open walls and ironic details. It’s a chamber of marvels, a refuge for the extraordinary in the very best concept store style. After all, The Store was among the pioneers of this segment in 2006. The coup: the integration of Maison Laduree. Its pastel-coloured confectioner cuddliness forms a wonderful contrast to the fashion store’s zeitgeist. Opposites do attract each other!

The Corner Berlin sets a bold contrast in the chic west of Berlin.

At The Corner Berlin, Josef Voelk and Emmanuel de Bayser are guided exclusively by international standards.
