If you're in Berlin looking for some cool new designs and vintage wares, then the City West's DOM is the perfect spot to spend an afternoon. Whether you want to splurge on a classic piece or would prefer to just "window shop", you'll love boutique owner Christian Koban's carefully curated picks (some of which he designed himself), which include everything from cool LEGO products to CREATE BIKES. We recently stopped by this stylish shop and were blown away not only by their collection, but by the fact that that the shop sits inside of an old brick tunnel decked out with furniture and decor are made up of repurposed tires!
