Kaymet – The Revival of the Tray
Kaymet has been manufacturing high-quality aluminium trays and trolleys in south London since 1947, when company founder Sydney Schreiber set out to find new uses for machinery that had been employed making parts for radios and radar equipment during the Second World War. This is a beautiful piece of art – a classic that is having a comeback – big time. Available in so many great stores or directly on the website

Violet Magazine – Women Only
TrendEngel likes Violet magazine. WHO is Violet Magazine for? the woman who wants it all …. the woman who is looking to be educated in an entertaining way. It’s not just floaty, feminine and fabulous! This is one action packed, brimming full of resources for the everyday woman. The female entrepreneur, the woman in business, the woman who would like to work from home, the woman who likes to change things up.

Industry Standard – Berlin is Setting the Standard
Berlin does not have to hide behind London, Paris and New York when it comes to innovative food. Industry Standard in the middle of Neukölln is a good example. This is what they say about themselves:
We believe in giving whole beasts their due, and that extends not only to offal and off-cuts, the high-lights and low-lights of the flesh, but to the radishes and rutabagas that went into making them. We want to extend this philosophy into everything on offer at Industry Standard: From the inspired witchery of our house-made bitters to our selection of natural and biodynamic wines (curated by Viniculture) that express the soil and sea, the sky and the sweat that fed them. Forgotten or unexpected connections. Whole beasts, some of which, admittedly, may be mythical.
We think that “comfort food” is a played-out conceit signaling compromise more than any attempt to really connect. Food can be challenging as well as comforting – comforting because it is just goddamn delicious.
So for drinking, fighting, feasting, lusting, larding and barding, reverent riffs on deserved classics, come to Neukölln. We will feed you.
Well – this is what TrendEngel says: This is one of the most surprising discoveries of the year. The tartar is extraordinary and very very special and the cauliflower to die for.
