"For anyone in a co-dependent relationship with Etsy’s eclectic pillow offerings. The first time we went to Berenjak we realised that installing a rotating tower of tender shawarma meat into our own kitchens would be a very dangerous business. We also realised the sheer unadulterated appeal of owning a rug that’s origin story doesn’t involve us going to Ikea primarily for meatballs. This corridor of a restaurant serves Iranian mazeh and perfectly pink—CC: Pantone samples—chenjeh kebabs, alongside all the evidence we need that you can do a lot with a small space, when you have the right large bulb fairy lights and a statement rug. But really, the constant smell of that rotating shawarma is our stomach’s favourite feature. " - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Rianne Shlebak
