About Us

Hi, we're Ilaria
and Johannes.

At the end of 2023, we founded Unseen, a space dedicated to vintage furniture and objects from the 1950s to the 1990s.

Contact form

A few years ago, we were sitting in a Turkish café in Kreuzberg, Berlin, having a coffee.

"What's the thing that relaxes you the most lately?"

"Looking for hidden treasures."

"What kind of treasures?"

"Small things, invisible to other people's eyes — but not to mine. At flea markets and in old cellars."

After a life spent telling stories around the world as a journalist, I felt the need to slow down and focus on things that are quieter, smaller, and precious.

Johannes is a video producer: he knows how to bring order to my chaotic mind.

Events

Unseen loves offline experiences.

We strongly believe in the importance of touching and looking closely at an item before purchasing it. That's why we participate in various events and pop-ups, both in Berlin and in Italy.

Stay up to date by following our Instagram page and our website.

We love vintage as a new form of design — sustainable and meaningful.

We love objects that take on new meanings in the homes of those who choose them.

We love helping people find pieces that reflect their personality and celebrate their uniqueness.
