AMODO

Maria Silvano and I have known each other for many years, our paths crossing through different parts of our lives here in Berlin.

I’ve followed her artistic practice for a long time, particularly her work as a photographer. Over the past year, she started sharing with me something completely new: a project made entirely through embroidery.

Inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry, Maria began translating its ancient visual language into the very contemporary landscape of Berlin, more specifically, into the everyday theatre of its underground. Nine embroidered pieces, one for each of Berlin’s nine U-Bahn lines.

I loved the idea from the very beginning.

There is something about the encounter between these different worlds that I find incredibly fascinating: an ancient reference and an old, patient craft used to capture contemporary urban life. The slowness of embroidery against the speed and chaos of the city. The quiet concentration of making, stitch by stitch, against the constant movement of the U-Bahn.

So when I saw U-EPIC taking shape, I knew I wanted to see these works at Amodo.

I’m very happy that on September 10, during Berlin Art Week, our little space will become their home for a while and that we’ll finally be able to share them with you.

Maria Silvano is cooking up something special for Amodo…

After an inspiring summer, we’re finding our way back, and September already has some beautiful stories waiting for us.

This is the beginning of one of them.

More soon.

Hi friends,

on the occasion of Gallery Weekend, we’ll be open this Sunday, May 3rd, from 11:00 to 18:30 ✨

Tomorrow, May 1st, we’ll be closed.

Come by and say hello — you’ll also get to see sculptural vases… truly worth it!

We meet again and it’s Spring.
The days grow longer, flowers bloom, and so do smiles.
Nature transforms, and transforms us too.

brings us into its world with the new scarf, the second piece of four-part seasonal collection, following the Winter release.

For children, for adults, for everyone.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and a little winter hibernation.
❄️✨

It’s that time of year again.
We like to think of Amodo as a place where you can enjoy the quiet pleasure of choosing gifts for the people you love.

Every day, we do our best to offer a warm and peaceful atmosphere, along with a selection of carefully chosen objects: pieces made to last, to tell stories and values you can connect with, to bring joy.

We can’t wait to help you find what you’re looking for—also through our online shop.
Thank you, as always, for your support!

.minio.minio blankets are among the products that represent the core of Amodo. Their design, production process, and the intention behind the project perfectly reflect the kind of story I want to highlight in my shop: the language of care and meaning that I want to communicate.

Minio is the project of Beatrice, an Italian illustrator and graphic designer with a deep passion for textiles, weavings, and the tactile world of materials. The brand was born from the idea of creating illustrated textiles for the home and everyday life, with a particular focus on sustainability and Made in Italy production.

All fabrics and yarns used are natural. Beatrice is committed to personally knowing each production partner she collaborates with, ensuring that environmental standards are respected and that the rights and well-being of the people involved are upheld. Each blanket is therefore not only a beautiful and functional object, but also the result of genuine relationships and a conscious, thoughtful production process.

I love them!

📌Hallo friends, a quick service announcement:
AMODO will be closed from Friday 17 October until Thursday 23 October.
We are taking a short break before diving into the cold, dark winter months.

We will see you again at the store on Friday 24 or online at
amodoberlin.com

Take care, ciao!

I’ve said it often, and I’ve shared it with you many times: one of the most rewarding aspects of this work is the chance to meet incredibly inspiring people I might never have encountered otherwise. People who often carry a vision, values, and horizons I deeply relate to, and who create objects that hold more than just commercial or consumerist value.

Karvishi is an Indian designer who founded her brand .official in 2022 with the aim of destigmatizing the concept of “Made in India.” Her project is rooted in sustainability, fairness, and craftsmanship.

We’re happy to have Esoraa’s creations in our selection and can’t wait for you to discover and appreciate them as well — visit us in store or online!

It’s September, here in Berlin work and school have started again, before that I was lucky enough to spend three weeks in Italy, surrounded by loved ones, in beloved places.
It’s wonderful to be back, to be here, to be back at Amodo.
Sorry if you came by yesterday and found the shop closed a little early. September is also the month for finding a balance between family, work and the unexpected. I know you know that.
I like you, September. You’re the month that invites me to slow down as my schedule picks up again. Maybe that’s the secret?
