Alex Wiredu

What are you mindful about at work?

My creative ideas equate to what I love to do. I try to think freely without getting caught up in anything. When I have an idea, I bring it to life. That’s my style.

Tell us about your daily routine.

I make sure to work out and stretch after I wake up. My day starts after I’ve had breakfast. I refresh by watching Netflix or YouTube in the evening. It’s important for me to spend time relaxing each day.

What is your best moment each day?

Although it’s important to stay busy, I also like to clear my head by resting on the couch in my big, empty studio. I find joy in spending time alone like that.

What’s a custom or hobby that you’ve had for a long time?

My hobby, other than work, is basketball. Every Monday and Thursday, I play all out with my friend who’s a former professional basketball player. It’s important to enjoy everything—work, exercise, life.

What are your impressions of the Spur Down Parka?

I like that it’s even lighter and more comfortable than it looks. It’s easy to match it with other outfits.

Jana Zschömitzsch

What are you mindful about at work?

I want to share the beautiful nature that lies in the city. I have a deep interest in the texture and color of plants and sense their aesthetic beauty. I want the people who visit my store to experience plants in the same way and get inspired by them.

Tell us your daily routine.

After dropping my son off to school, I enjoy a cup of coffee and check my emails at home, which is located on the second floor right above my shop. Before opening, I clean the shop and water the flowers. I pay special attention to the store displays.

What’s your best moment each day?

It’s when I’m alone in my shop. I observe the flowers and enjoy their fragrances. Those moments are sheer bliss.

What’s a custom or hobby that you’ve had for a long time?

My current work. I also enjoy taking strolls in natural landscapes and appreciating the seasons in Berlin or Brandenburg, which is located in the outskirts of the city.

What are your impressions of the Spur Down Parka?

My job requires me to work outside a lot, so I’ve been searching for a practical and well-designed down jacket since last year. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! It’s great that it’s warm, comfortable, and comes with plenty of pockets.

Jaakko Eino Kalevi

What are you mindful about at work?

I put a special focus into drum sounds when I’m making music. I think the sound of the drums sets the pace for the song more than any other instrument, so I’m very particular about it.

What’s your daily routine?

I never miss my morning coffee. I recently spend most of my time working in my home studio, so I go for a stroll in the park or along the canal for a change of pace. On my days off, I often go for a drive in the outskirts of Berlin to immerse myself in nature.

What’s your best moment each day?

It’s when my mind wakes up after my morning coffee. I also cherish those moments when ideas pop up. I often get inspiration when I’m out on my routine walks.

What’s a custom or hobby that you’ve had for a long time?

Music, definitely. I love listening to and making music. I started playing the guitar when I was 11. I also play the keyboard, drums, saxophone, and other instruments. Recently, I got into playing the conga.

What are your impressions of the GTX Hooded Down Coat?

It’s so warm and light. I’m from Finland, so the winters in Berlin aren’t cold enough for me. I’d like to take this down to a colder place, like the alps.

Manuel Osterholt

What are you mindful about at work?

I’m interested in portraying life and humanity. I try to explore what the universal connections are for human beings and why we are alive here, on this planet. I’m interested in myths and stories, so the skulls and masks that often appear in my work are important motifs to reflect that context.

What’s your daily routine?

I sketch at my studio from 9 AM to 3 PM every day. It’s the time for me to do some soul-searching and generate ideas.

What’s your best moment each day?

It’s the time I spend drawing. I delve into my own world, oblivious of my surroundings or the time.

What’s a custom or hobby that you’ve had for a long time?

Going for a run in the woods or natural surroundings—immersing myself in nature—is important to me. Art is my longest running hobby. I’ve been making graffiti since I was a teen and I hope to keep creating more art.

What are your impressions of the Spur Down Parka?

It’s so light and comfortable. I think it’s wonderful. It’s perfect for dark, cold Berlin because it’s so warm. I’d love to take a stroll in the woods wearing this item.

What’s your daily routine?

A good espresso every morning is a must for me. I plan my free time based on the activities outside. When work is busy, I cook at home and spend 100% of my free time relaxing.

What’s your best moment each day?

When I wake up in the morning and stare at the view outside or the blue sky. I also love spending time with my loved ones, playing sports, and just having fun with them.

What’s a custom or hobby that you’ve had for a long time?

I’ve been into rowing for a long time. My experience in competitive sports led to me to running and cycling, and I eventually got into triathlons. Since it’s a combination of different sports, you have to use all your skills and techniques. It’s extremely tough but really fun at the same time.

What are your impressions of the ___?

No matter how bad the weather is, once you put on this coat, you’ll instantly feel as comfy as you do at home. Each of the details are high in quality. It’s multifunctional but light. It’s also great that it’s so stylish.
