VEB Orange

Prenzlauer Berg


Viva vintage! With its selection of the most beautiful things from the '60s and '70s (especially from East Germany), this place is a tangible reminder of how colourful, campy and fun home decor used to be. True to its name, many of the furnishings, accessories, lamps and fashions are orange in colour.
