If you are looking for a fancy souvenir from Cologne or just a small gift for somebody you like, I recommend NOGALLERY!
NOGALLERY manufactures delicate laser-cut words or phrases, graphics and even skylines from MDF, wood and plastic material. Some of them measure only a few millimetres, others up to half a meter. You can use them as wall or door decorations or just put them on a bedside table or a shelf.
You find NOGALLERY's new factory store in a cool old warehouse outside the city centre. If you make it to the neighbourhood of Bickendorf, you will have the opportunity to browse through hundreds of letterings for every occasion (for example LOVE, HAPPY, SMILE), in different languages (German, English, Kölsch) and there are many with reference to Cologne (ALAAF, KÖLNERIN). You could also create your individual jewelry by composing the smaller objects with other pendants to bracelets and necklaces.
There is also the possibility to create your own and unique lettering, which you can commission in the store or via their online shop by choosing different font types and colors.
