The Columbist’s Spring Guide has curated a selection of unconventional and elevated suggestions that bring together comfort and joy.
From sleepwear pieces that guarantee a healthy season through high-quality sleep to concept stores enriching Spring with unique design objects; from artisanal tableware that adds depth to the tables where you gather with loved ones to AI conferences and outdoor activities that keep you ahead of the curve…
In this guide, our motto for this Spring is clear: We are renewing, moving into celebration mode, and leaving the weight of winter behind.
So, what are your plans for the season? If you’re still looking for inspiration, The Columbist is here for you with its cartefully curated recommendations.

Spring in the city can be unpredictable. One day calls for a light jacket, the next for sunglasses, and by night the bedroom climate seems to have its own agenda. Too warm, too cool, then somehow both before morning. Dagsmejan, the Zurich-based sleep innovation brand, has built its sleepwear around exactly that kind of problem. Rather than treating pyjamas as an afterthought, the brand designs them as part of a better sleep routine — using natural performance fibres, Swiss textile innovation and a clear understanding of how the body regulates temperature at night.
The idea is simple: if your body is too hot, too cold or caught somewhere in between, sleep can suffer. Dagsmejan’s collections are created to support a more comfortable sleep climate, night after night. For those who tend to overheat, Stay Cool is made with cooling eucalyptus fibres and designed to help release heat and moisture through the night. For spring’s more changeable temperatures, Balance supports temperature regulation and moisture management, helping the body stay in a comfortable zone as the night shifts.
This season, the brand also brings colour into the sleep routine with shades such as Deep Pink and Sapphire Blue — fresh, polished and easy to wear beyond the bedroom. So yes, spring cleaning has its place. But the better spring reset may be simpler: sleepwear that helps you rest well, wake clearer and move into the season with more energy.

Spring isn’t only about eating well or taking long walks in the sunlight; it is also a time for a deeper admiration of curation and design. The Berghain architects, Studio Karhard, offer the perfect way to experience this by inviting us into their “Petshop.” Interestingly, you won’t find any food bowls or pet supplies inside. Instead, Petshop by Karhard emerges as a concept store that transforms animal figures into high-design objects.
Founders Alexandra Erhardand Thomas Karsten have channeled their curated expertise into this unique space. From 1930s marionettes and iconic Omersa leather rhinos to origami-style leather objects and mussel-shaped cutlery, every item in the store is a unique work of art. If you feel it’s time to honor your living space with a high artistic touch this spring, Petshop is here to provide exactly that.
Another fascinating aspect of the store is its technological approach: no cash or cards are accepted. Instead, each object is purchased instantly via QR codes, transforming the space into a playground that moves beyond the rigid nature of traditional galleries. Currently open by appointment, a visit to Petshop allows you to clear some space for a new “pet” at home. Be it an insect-themed rug for your wall or a ceramic cat for your coffee table. Simply because at Petshop by Karhard, good design, much like Spring, makes life a lot more enjoyable.




One thing we can all easily agree on is that the warmth of Spring is the best social glue to bring loved ones together. How do these gatherings take place? Usually, it’s a beautiful dinner party built around a fascinating table. Feinesweißes, a Berlin-based porcelain label by Katy Jung, offers the perfect foundation for such a setting. Jung, a designer with a background in product design and ceramics, redefines what aesthetically pleasing tableware means through Feinesweißes. Still, the brand creates more than tableware: The catalogue of Feinesweißes is also home to vases, lighting, and unique objects.
All pieces of the brand are slip-cast in-house and finished by hand in the studio, located in Prenzlauer Berg. The result is simply magnificent: small series and one-off pieces with a focus on clear, contemporary forms. To celebrate Spring on a carefully curated table — either with loved ones or as the ultimate "me-time", the essential pick from Feinesweißes is the brand’s signature decor, TUPF. The porcelain cups and plates are adorned with cobalt blue dots, aligning with the timeless polka-dot craze in the world of design. Every dot is applied by hand under the glaze, making them totally unique and personal. Could you imagine a better element to style a table to officially start a positive Spring time? Honestly, we are already obsessed. Discover the TUPF tableware by Feinesweißes by clicking here.




At the heart of Potsdamer Platz, The Ritz-Carlton, Berlin is redefining the classic British afternoon tea with its new seasonal concept: A Symphony of the Seasons. Orchestrated by Executive Pastry Chef Nikolaos Giannelis, the experience debuts with the Spring Awakening edition, celebrating the vibrant flavors of the season until the end of May. A perfect accompaniment to welcome the energetic season!
Served daily in the elegant setting of The Lounge, the menu features artisanal creations like triple chocolate mousse, lemon-lavender muffins, and chamomile-honey scones, all perfectly paired with a selection curated by the hotel’s own tea sommeliers. Whether enjoyed with a glass of Ruinart Champagne or as a mindful me-time ritual, this seasonal symphony offers a sophisticated retreat from the urban bustle. It’s more than just tea; it’s a beautifully curated celebration of Spring’s arrival in Berlin.





Founded in the early 2000s, the Berlin-based brand Uslu Airlines has always charted its own course in the beauty world, famously naming its nail polishes after airport codes across the globe. Now, the legacy brand returns, and it’s bolder than ever. Positioning itself as a vibrant platform for the worlds of art, fashion, sport, and music and known for legendary collaborations with names like Colette, Kylie Minogue, Nike, and Keinemusik; Uslu Airlines continues to connect Berlin’s creative scene with global narratives.
To celebrate the fresh energy of Spring, the brand brings its vision to life through a collaboration with Waridi Wardah, an icon of African fashion. This partnership tells a deeply personal story, bridging Waridi’s roots with the sky. The centerpiece is a nail polish named after her hometown airport in Nairobi: Wilson Airport (WLS). Capturing her signature look and heritage, the WLS shade is the perfect accessory to carry a piece of global culture and Spring's vibrant spirit on your fingertips. For those looking to embrace Berlin's creative soul this season, it’s time to check-in with Uslu Airlines once again.

It’s finally time to trade the indoors for the open water. Season is officially open at EFOILUTION, inviting you to shake off the winter chill and experience the ultimate adrenaline rush. Under the bright sun and surrounded by warm weather, eFoils provide an immersive surfing experience that feels like pure freedom. Fly over the shimmering surfaces of Lake Müggelsee or Lake Wannsee and rediscover Berlin from its most breathtaking perspective: the water. Whether you’re looking to master a new skill this Spring or seeking a thrilling escape with a friend, EFOILUTION’s courses offer the perfect high-energy restart. The lakes are calling, it’s time to catch the Spring breeze and soar.

On the first week of June, TEDxBerlin returns with its brand-new edition: A World With AI.
