Et voilà - here comes the second takeover of THE GOOD MOOD BOARD. Enjoy the journey into the hyper-creative and quirky world of Sissi & Pat!
Lots of Love,
Franzi xx
We - Sissi and Pat - are two loving business owners who share our lives and travel the world together in search of the cutest objects on antique markets for our company, outofuseberlin. As a couple, we reside in the idyllic countryside of Bavaria, far away from the hustle and bustle of big cities, which we only indulge in on special occasions.
With our new business branch, “Tables and Food”, we specialize in creating set design concepts for cozy dinner parties and special events. We incorporate antique tableware and beautiful objects to add a touch of individuality to every gathering.
THE HANDCRAFTED ART
Our latest obsession revolves around self-sewn bows and festive ornaments crafted from vintage fabrics that we have discovered and curated during our travels. Additionally, we harbor a deep passion for antique Christmas decorations and enjoy repurposing old musical instruments and antique objects to create unique festive embellishments. We are excited to announce that we will be showcasing some of these distinctive handmade pieces during our pop-up event in Munich with Tiger of Sweden, taking place from December 5-9, 2023.

THE GOOD RELATIONSHIP
We often get questions about our relationship as both business partners and a couple, and what is important for us when we work, live, and love. Discovering moments that bring us mutual joy and happiness is key, such as our shared enthusiasm for preparing for Christmas. Short trips to the Christmas market, toasting and having a bite to eat, just the two of us for an hour. Together, we decorate our home, enjoying the warmth of the lights as evening falls and meeting at the window to take in the festive glow.
THE GOOD HOTEL & SET DESIGN
A long table in the middle of a garden surrounded by mountains, a large barbecue in the pool house, and a shared love of bringing people together. We value special collaborations, such as this one with the South Tyrolean boutique hotel Villa Arnica and our business branch “Tables and Food”. The popular Poolhouse Grill at Villa Arnica takes place every week during the summer months of August and September. It serves as an opportunity to celebrate regional delicacies, fruits, and vegetables sourced from the hotel's fields and bring them to the table as a special experience for every guest.
Together with Villa Arnica, the Tables and Food team has set themselves the task of creating an extraordinary evening. The long table, wrapped in large white vintage fabrics, was illuminated by only candles in antique candlesticks, and silver-plated champagne coolers were used as flower vessels. The menu by local chef Jean Paul is served on handmade ceramic plates from Denmark, which he prepares on the fireplace. Hotel guests and friends of the hotel gathered for a summer evening filled with good wine and inspiring conversations, in a relaxed atmosphere that is so typical for Villa Arnica.
