Our team: Who is behind the Wilde Matilde
Torsten Karlsch
Creative concept & brand
Wilde Matilde bears the signature of Torsten Karlsch – a Berlin visionary who, together with Peppermint Brands, turns crazy ideas into real places of experience.
He designs overall concepts consisting of stage, lighting, decoration and storytelling, in which Berlin charm, nostalgia and variety come together.
He himself prefers to remain down-to-earth in the background, while his brands are loud: colorful, warm, a little crazy – just typically Berlin.
Wilde Matilde should feel like a piece of colorful, playful Berlin – to touch, taste and laugh at.
