Chaming Communist Modern Interior

"Communist Charm at the Ostel in Berlin"
The Mid-Century Modernist (Nov 23, 2007)

"The modernism of 1960s East Germany is a little different from that of the Danes or the Eames. The communist state spawned a more spartan, utilitarian style, but charming nonetheless. The Ostel Hotel in Berlin proves that Communism doesn’t have to be drab and depressing. ..."

With photos. The interiors are attractive, although I suspect that the op-art pattern on one walls would give the occupant eyestrain after a few minutes.

There are more interiors at "The Mid-Century Modernist: Other Interiors"
