Los Angeles / Shop

Jacknife has an amazing collection of tapes, vinyl, and used gear like stereos and tape decks. The quality is top notch, and if you can't find something out on the floor, chances are they'll have it in the back. If you see Trevor, tell him I sent you.

Los Angeles / School

If you find yourself in Malibu for any reason, stop by the Pepperdine university campus and check out this grass field. If there aren't any lacrosse practices happening, then you can sit and fell like you're on the edge of the world.

Antwerp / Restaurant

A great place in the South of Antwerp for a healthy and tasty brunch/lunch

Beijing / Museum

I didn't expect much from NAMOC when I first visited to be honest, but most of the exhibitions I've seen here have blown me away. Themes have varied from the art of Chinese shadow puppetry to abstract paintings from Taiwan, and even socially responsible design.

Amsterdam / Restaurant

We love having ramen here - it's a beautiful space, feels a bit like being back in NYC, and the food is incredible. There are two locations, the one in De Pijp is bigger, so easier to get a table, but the other location is very cosy, so get there early if you go to that location.

Amsterdam / Market

The city's biggest flea market is hosted the first weekend of each month in and around a gigantic warehouse in the industrial area of NDSM in Amsterdam Noord. I love to snuff around the hundreds of stalls to find unusual props. Taking the boat to cross the IJ and leaving the old centre behind is very refreshing. Make sure to also have a drink in Noorderlicht while the sun sets.

Berlin / Market

Little Vietnam in Berlin - crazy crowded market halls stuffed with commodities from overseas.

Berlin / Shop

If you like fashion then this is the place to be. The label was founded in 2005 by Nando and Silvia, two spanish designers. I like this place because I love the wool coats and the patterns they create. They support local industry and that is a top of the top for me.

Zürich / Bookstore

Super cute stationery shop and book store for paper lovers

London / Museum

A treasure trove in the The City of London. The Archive of London. Strongrooms hold kilometres of shelving; boxes of matter that has somehow been catalogued and categorised in a traceable manner by the public, for academic, genealogical and other research. This beautiful book is from a box on Epping Forest. On the same visit, I looked through photographs of Blitz singsongs in Bethnal Green Underground station, 1980s anti-Thatcher / pro-GLC gig posters and paper concertina optical models of the Crystal Palace.

London / Architecture

Taken some beautiful portraits here in black and white, place image not be me.

Detroit / Cafe

This place offers the best brunch in the entire city of Detroit. Located at the Eastern Market, a place that changed in 3 years in many unexpected ways. You'll love it.

Barcelona / Art Director

There is a lot of BLA, BLA, BLA in the word “Design”. For us, design is synonymous with project, the plan. The aesthetic results of a project are the consequence of objectives sought in the design process and that often include other values. MgComunicació has been working to achieve business goals for nearly two decades. We avoid aesthetic makeups to delve into the reality of each project we want our work to pick up real fruits for our customers economy. Flexibility, agility, commitment to our projects and alignment of interests among all people, companies, entities and / or institutions is what creates a strong flow of energy. This working method allows the team to adapt to the expectations of each client, with lower costs and the technical characteristics and commercial models of different projects.
