Design Apartments Weimar

It's rare to come across a design based community project as wonderful as this. As all the best ideas are, The Design Apartments Weimar was born from the need to solve a particular problem. Four years ago, German actor and design enthusiast Mark Pohl bought an historic townhouse in need of renovation in Weimar, the home of the Bauhaus University Weimar. With several friends interior design graduates struggling to get their work known, he came up with the idea to renovate the space into two holiday apartments furnished with pieces designed by the local students. Guests experience living first hand alongside these pieces and are invited to shop directly from the apartments or through the online store. What a stroke of genius. Pale wood flooring throughout, tall ceilings and light drenched spaces. The combination of new, young design with vintage. Every piece of furniture is carefully considered, drawing attention to a flash of colour, a sculptural shape. A Bauhaus fan's dream, right? I want to be here, right now, bare foot with cup of coffee in hand just quietly taking it all in...Follow all the beautiful details from the apartment through Instagram. Well, this is going up on my holiday list, fancy it?Photography © Matthias Eckert.
