A home shaped by art in Berlin

As a Berlin-based artist, my work is deeply influenced by my surroundings and the everyday life around me. I actually began by painting interiors, so where and how I live has always played a major role as a source of inspiration for my work.

Like my art, my approach to interiors has evolved over time. Today I'm more attracted to earthy, muted tones, whereas for many years I was known for a much more colorful and eclectic style. But that is precisely one of the fascinating things about being an artist — the constant search for new inspiration and the chance to continually rediscover oneself and one's creative expression.

I believe it's important to stay curious, keep your eyes open, and allow room for your tastes, ideas, and perspectives to develop. For me, both art and interiors are an ongoing reflection of that journey.

More than anything else, our home is a reflection of who we are, our interests, and the memories we’ve collected over the years.

As someone who loves being at home, it means a lot to me that our home feels warm, inviting, and lived-in. I love being surrounded by the objects, memories, and personal finds we’ve gathered throughout life. Each item has its own story and carries a special sense of nostalgia. For us, creating the right atmosphere is an important part of what turns a house into a home.

When I come home, I always put on music, and Max creates the perfect mood lighting. Together, these small rituals create a feeling of calm and comfort and make our home a place we truly love to be.

When it comes to lighting, I hadn't realized how big a difference it makes to go from a single overhead light to several smaller light sources placed around the room. My husband is really into creating the perfect atmosphere, and he has truly changed my view on how important lighting is. We even have smart bulbs throughout the apartment, so he can adjust the light and mood depending on the time of day.

I've also developed a small passion for lamps myself. I love collecting unique designs, and right now I'm especially drawn to Murano glass lamps. To me, they feel like functional works of art that bring warmth and character to a room.

I first discovered VETRO lamps on Pinterest a few years ago, and my first thought was: I had to own one someday. There was something about them that immediately caught my attention.

I believe that creating a home is less about following a specific interior style and more about gradually finding and surrounding yourself with things that speak to you. The most authentic homes are created over time—filled with objects that reflect your personality, memories, and experiences.

To me, VETRO lamps are exactly that kind of element. They are not just part of the decor in our home—they are carefully selected pieces that I truly cherish. They are the sort of things you know you'll want to bring with you, no matter where life takes you, and that become part of the homes you build along the way.

To me, they're little works of art that bring something truly special to a room. They almost always spark curiosity and often become the start of a conversation.
