Tour an Artist Couple's Berlin Apartment After a Consciously Curated Downsizing
Briefly

Wall cabinets are often considered practical but are viewed as provincial. There is a preference for more aesthetic options, such as using projectors instead of TVs, with hopes of hiding televisions elegantly. Dining table stools are seen as impractical, and despite previous comfortable furniture, a minimalist approach is essential to fit design visions. The cultural memory of Gelsenkirchen Baroque furniture highlights a nostalgic and practical past that conflicts with modern minimalist ideals.
Wall cabinets have a certain provincialism about them. Imagine if you had just the kitchen worktop and were to hang a huge painting above it!
Instead of a TV in the living room, we have a projector so we don't have to stare at a black hole. In the future though, we'd like to have a piece of furniture that hides the TV.
Kosock notes that dining table stools are definitely impractical. We used to have great '80s chairs that were super comfortable, but they didn't really fit in.
