RANDOM

The three-dimensional wall art, “I feel good today,” is a result of creative minds coming together. The location: A popular morning coffee and lunch spot, the erste liebe bar in Hamburg (erste liebe means first love in German). The bar’s owners are the video producers at erste liebe film who work right above the bar.

The artist: Niels Bruschke of Santiago Design, who used a Viktor bike from Schindlehauer as the focal point. The partner: Bruschke was asked to do this piece by Two Wheels Good, a bike shop and promoter and creator of urban mobility concepts. Their first location is at Bismarckstrasse and the second one opened this summer at the new bike-loving 25hours Hotel HafenCity.

The curved glass wall near the hallway—built by David Ditkowich of Joyce Contracting (718-257-7070, joycecontracting.com) using glass bricks from Home Depot (locations throughout the city; visit homedepot.com)—conceals the couple’s home gym. “I like having the exercise equipment hidden,” explains Benner, “but it allows the light to come through



The hall ceiling light is from art-supply-cum-furniture emporium Lee’s Studio, one of Benner’s favorite lighting resources. All of the “petals” are removable for easy cleaning.




I like the divider for the room if a larger space, especially at end of room with outdoor area being divided betwee nthe room
