some people ask who was here first, mitte or Timmi Seifert? he’s been part of the mitte scene since day one, and who better to portray the sometime-too-hip mitte crowd than Timmi himself? And so Freunde von Freunden was born. Now, 17 years later and freshly relaunched, it’s still portraying the most interesting people shaping culture today.

Manu Pinciroli needs no introduction. if you’ve spent any time in mitte, you’ve probably heard him laughing from 100m away or spotted him riding his vespa around the neighbourhood. just two years after he founded pinci with Lu Leisering and Silvan Frick, it has already become mitte’s living room.

UNCOOL is the result of Debora Brune's four-year project, begun in 2022.

The book is a collection of uncompromising portraits of 27 people, including Brune herself, whose bodies fall outside conventional beauty standards and society still labels as disabilities. Brune shows her subjects without the usual caution or sentimentality and treats what is often read as "wrong" as a visual starting point.

​In 2026 she was shortlisted for the C/O Berlin Talent Award and a finalist for the Dior Photography and Visual Arts Award at Rencontres d'Arles (group exhibition at LUMA Arles).

Utopia/Dystopia is a platform situated between design and art. its themes move between the poles of utopia and dystopia, or deliberately inhabit their extremes. at its core is not the answer to the question of our future. it is the feeling of it. the unspoken. what designers and artists bring to the surface and make visible in their work.
