THE CURATION
There is a particular feeling that certain objects carry - one that resists easy explanation. At Ikones, that feeling is what drives the search. The selection moves between the tactile and the refined: raw ceramics with uneven glazes, sculptural lighting, furniture and pieces pieces with unexpected forms and materials, sometimes unmistakably of their era, sometimes boldly ahead of it.
The aesthetic of Ikones is rooted in a Scandinavian sensibility: stripped back, cool and considered, but never cold. Restraint is balanced with warmth, with pieces of bolder forms and richer influences that bring tension and life to a space. Each object is chosen for its ability to hold its own, and to hold up over time.
THE FOUNDER
Ikones was founded by Heidi Nesset, a creative based in Berlin for over a decade, with a background spanning art direction, illustration, and digital design. Born in Sweden with Norwegian and Cypriot roots, she grew up between worlds that rarely agreed ~ the restrained and the expressive, the grey and the sun-drenched, the instinct to hold back and the impulse to let go.
That tension is what shaped her eye, and it lives at the heart of Ikones: Nordic cool meeting Mediterranean warmth, austerity in conversation with sensuality.
THE STORE
What began as a passion project online back in 2024 has grown into something genuinely worth celebrating. In April 2025, Ikones opened as a physical store in the Reuterkiez - a corner of Neukölln next to Kreuzberg, known for its galleries, bars, and a thriving vintage clothing scene. Since the opening, the store has evolved into a community of people who share a love for objects with history and intention. Every customer who has found their way here has been part of that.
In October 2026, the doors will open at a new address in the same Kiez, but with the beautiful Maybachufer as a neighbour.
You are warmly welcome to come by and get inspired. There is always room for a conversation about interiors and vintage culture, and coffee is always brewing.
