RUGLET BAZAR // A day between carpets, dancing & disco balls

It was a picture-perfect summer day. Kastanienallee, 12 noon – and even outside the door, there was a hint of something special in the air.

Not just a sale. Not just an event.

The Ruglet Bazar was a feeling.

A feeling of revival. Of reunions and rediscoveries. Of Berlin as I love it: open, diverse, vibrant, a little crazy—and yet full of heart.

We invited you – and you came. Familiar faces from the Wild Heart Free Soul family, long-time supporters, old friends. But also many new visitors, especially a young audience. Open, curious, interested. People who moved among the kilims and kaftans as if through another time – or perhaps a better present.

What was there to see?

A bazaar like a woven dream.

And then of course there was:

🪩 Daniel Wang .

Disco legend. Friend. Soulmate.

Almost 20 years ago, I was already dancing to his sets – freshly arrived in Berlin, barefoot in clubs, my heart open to everything. Now, all these years later, that he's DJing in my own showroom – among kilims, children, and copper – felt like a journey back in time to the present.

Or like closing a circle.

His set? A groove prayer. Jazz, funk, disco. Vinyl treasures imbued with warmth and elegance. Music that doesn't entertain, but connects.

Three times the room fell silent. Three times a circle formed.

And then someone stepped into the middle.

Ampelos Collective – three dancers, three improvisations.

They moved between the carpets, letting their bodies flow through the patterns.

Added to this: the gentle sounds of the Guzheng, played by Jiahui, whose music vibrated between the walls like a poem.

You could have heard a pin drop.

Some held their breath.

Others simply smiled – with that kind of goosebumps that doesn't need to be explained.

What particularly touched me?

Not just the encounters, the sales, the music.

But the path to get there.

Nora , who put so much heart and soul into planning our event.
And their friends – Francesca, Francesco and Giampo – who hung posters in the street, edited reels, shared their thoughts, helped with the movement and celebrated with them.

This kind of support is not a given.
It is the backbone of every vision.
Thank you – from the bottom of my heart.

And my team.
Elisa and Teresa , who spent hours moving, hanging and layering with me – with an eye for detail and a lot of dedication.
We didn't just redesign the showroom—we gave it a new feel.

And of course: my loyal customers and friends .
Some of you have been coming for over eleven years – since the first wild bazaar days of Wild Heart Free Soul.
You bring not only style and taste, but above all your presence, your conversations, your openness.
Without you it wouldn't be a real party.
Without you it would just be a room with carpets.

A huge thank you also to Valla Vino,
who not only filled glasses with their fine selection of natural wines, but also opened hearts.
Your bar was the quiet pulse in the background – a place to toast, linger, and continue talking.
Just as good wine should be: connecting, lively, authentic.

Thank you for bringing this place to life.

Many carpets have found a new home at the Ruglet Bazar.

But even more: many people were touched.

Of materials, of voices, of movements.

Of this peculiar mixture of flea market and performance, of used and significant.

The Ruglet Bazaar wasn't perfect. It was lively.

It wasn't planned out. It was a feeling.

And maybe that was exactly his magic.

For me it was like a revival of the first Wild Heart Free Soul Bazaars.

A return to the roots.

A feeling of moving forward.

A day that shows:

Ruglet is more than an outlet.

It is a room.

For encounters, for culture, for movement.

For everything that lives between the threads.

Thank you for being there.

We continue.

With you.

From the heart,

Beyza Nur
