London / Pub

A traditional English pub with a great atmosphere and friendly staff, this is the perfect place to start or end your night. The pub is full of character and very intimate, whether you want to drink with your friends on own your own, you are bound to talk with some of the friendly locals and I’ve never had a bad night there.

São Paulo / Area

One of the most traditional neighborhoods of the city, inhabited by Italian immigrants, is home to dozens of great restaurants and hundreds of properties like houses, churches, theaters and architectural complexes, such as stairs, squares and parks, dating from the early twentieth century. There is also the Don Orione square, which on Sundays since 1982 houses the Arts and Antiques Fair of Bixiga, with period furniture, LPs, clothes, old magazines, toys,silverware and much more. The neighborhood is also home to one of the largest samba schools of the country, Vai-Vai, and during the year you can find the remains of gigantic ornaments used at the party.

Florence / Bar

My favourite café in Florence, where you can not only drink coffee (if you lucky enough, you'll get it in ToiletPaper mug), but also buy some designer objects (including ToiletPaper gems) or flowers and plants, and, in the evening, listen to live piano music, sitting at the loooong wooden table. Everything five minutes from the Santa Maria del Fiore.

Beijing / Place

The Summer Palace is just gorgeous and definitely a must-see spot for those visiting Beijing for the first time. The sheer size of the grounds is inconceivable; I don't think I've covered everything yet, but the marble boat and Seventeen Arch Bridge are well worth a visit. Close to the east gate also lies Aman, which offers great afternoon tea; the complex is housed in a series of pavilions, some of which date back over a century and were originally used by guests of the Summer Palace awaiting an audience with the Empress Dowager Cixi.

Madrid / kiosk

Nice little Kiosk with a good selection of independent magazines.

New York / Shop

Be warned: you’ll want to buy everything in this beautiful, minimalist store.

New York / Other

Words cannot describe how much I love biking in the city.

Montreal / Restaurant

Yokato Yokabai font probablement les meilleurs ramens que j'ai goûté à Montréal depuis que j'en ai mangé au Japon. Attention de ne pas confondre ce resto avec leur autre restaurant, Ichigo Ichie, accessible à la même adresse. Ichigo Ichie est un Izakaya mais ils ne servent pas les ramens. Aussi, si vous souhaitez manger les ramens, vous ne pouvez pas réserver. C'est premier arrivé, premier servi. (Désolé, cette photo n'est pas la mienne; je n'ai pas l'habitude de photographier ce que je mange. Prise sur le site des Pages Jaunes.)

Vilnius / Shop

Record shop & label based in Vilnius, Lithuania. Electronic music, club culture and underground community-oriented. Selling new and second hand vinyl records, cassette tapes as well as music related accessories and merchandise.

Amsterdam / Shop

This store is filled floor to ceiling with vintage glass- and tableware from France and other countries surrounding the Netherlands. It is a gem for finding birthday or housewarming gifts.

London / Other

G.F. Smith's permanent showroom, in Central London. Visits are by appointments only — But I would definitely recommend making the visit. All of their stocks are beautifully archived, along with example publications, and a rotating series of paper installations in both the window & basement, courtesy of Made Thought.

Sydney / Gallery

My personal favourite Australian artist Ken Done has his gallery in the middle of The Rocks, near Circular Quay. Its constantly updated with his new and old works and well worth a visit!

We’re endlessly fascinated by the little nuances and changes that turn something ordinary into an inspiring and beautiful object.

Washington / Art Director

I wear many hats – most of which can't be showcased on one platform! I do the most all the time and challenge humans to do better and be better. I believe art heals, listening is important, traveling is essential and one shouldn't be judged for their love of adult onesies. Just sayin. ;)
