    LESUNG LISA D. & FIONA BENNETT @FLUSH, BERLIN 25.11.19

    LESUNG LISA D. & FIONA BENNETT @FLUSH, BERLIN 25.11.19

    Anlässlich der Veröffentlichung von Lisa D.’s Buch »Klääsch« veranstalteten Fiona Bennett und Lisa D. am 25.11. 2019 im Flush im Berliner Wintergarten Varieté zwei inspirierende Lesungen. Die zwei Frauen nahmen ihr Publikum mit zurück in ein Berlin der 1980er und 1990er Jahre, das sie gemeinsam mit ihren wilden Inszenierungen nachhaltig prägten. Neben den Erzählungen der beiden Modeschöpferinnen wurden illustre Filme aus ihrer gemeinsamen Zeit in dem wohl ungewöhnlichsten und schönsten Sanitärbereich der Welt gezeigt, Design von Fiona Bennett & Hans-Joachim Böhme.

    Sowohl Lisa D.’s Buch “Klääsch.” als auch Fiona Bennetts & Eva Sichelschmidt’s “Vom Locken der Federn” sind, auch als Geschenkset, in unserem Ladengeschäft erhältlich.

    NOSEDIVE II

    NOSEDIVE II

    Conceived by a free spirit that doesn’t need categories. Fiona Bennett reinvents interior design – just recently the „flush“ at Berlin’s Wintergarten Varieté (with Hans-Joachim Böhme) – , creates costumes for theatre and film and is a successful businesswoman and member of the “International Women’s Forum“. Her creation “Nosedive“ was shown at the VON BARTHA-gallery in Basel, it was party of the 2016 exhibition „Surrealism & Beyond“ at the Boljmans van Beuningen-Museum in Rotterdam and is currently on display at Galerie Alexander Ochs. “Nosedive II“ – created by Fiona Bennett specifically for Berlin’s Kornversuchsspeicher – is a departure from familiar terrain. It connects mental labour to the room and the room to the spectator and displays a mirror image as multi-faceted as the person reflected in it.

    The object was shown as part of the group exhibition „Wonderland II“ at Kornversuchsspeicher from April through July 2018.

    “ONE WORLD” GHANA HÜTE

    “ONE WORLD” GHANA HÜTE

    We are excited about the second edition of colourful summer straw hats designed by Fiona Bennett. The hats were woven by hand from kinkanhe-grass using a traditional technique and dyed with natural dyes in a village in the Bolgatanga-region in Ghana. We are very proud of the result!

    Make sure you get your perfect summer hat first! Please keep in mind that this unique collection is limited to 60 pieces. All available styles are online now.

    Our production directly supports the development and education of the community and helps women feed their families. We are looking forward to welcoming you at our hat-palace!
