Every item of furniture in Daniel Santos’ Berlin apartment comes with a story. There’s the desk that took him deep into the city’s former Soviet suburbs, the bed frame he hauled with the help of five housemates, and the nearly century-old dresser he brought back to life with glue and nails.
Santos says it’s “crazy” to think the pale-yellow antique he bought from a grandson parting with his family’s heirlooms “has survived until now.”
