Qubique: highlights from the Berlin design show

Berlin's monumental Tempelhof airport – started in 1927, rebuilt from 1932-1941, and intended as Hitler's gateway to Europe (it closed in 2008) – was the setting for the inaugural design show, Qubique Photograph: PR

Inside the airport's vast, army-green hangars – they made Tate Modern's Turbine Hall feel pokey – products on show reflected the mood in Europe. From cosy, simple furniture to plain bulb lights, designs were comforting and practical Photograph: PR
