London / Restaurant

A great place for an informal lunch or dinner while in East London. It’s one of Nuno Mendes’ projects and it is housed in the impressive Town Hall at Bethnal Green. We filmed with Mendes in his kitchen when the restaurant first launched.

Montreal / Library

Right in from Mont-Royal subway we have this amazing bookstore named L'exchange with great books and great environnement.

Miami / Cafe

The very best pancake-bacon-scrambled-eggs-hash-browns-and-perfect-diner-coffee breakfast.

Moscow / Restaurant

Remy Kitchen Bakery is a restaurant and a bakery in one establishment. Head chef is Melbourne native Glen Ballis and in the menu he aims to reflect the cuisine of his homeland: it's a mix of Italian, French, Greek, Chinese and Japanese elements and all ingredients used are seasonal. Remyboasts a spacious open kitchen and the majority of the dishes are prepared on the Josper grill. The bakery offers a range of mouth-watering freshly baked pastries as well as a deli section, where guests can get something to take.

Berlin / Cinema

This cinema is nothing special if you're looking for that comercial combo big screens + major sound system, but it has its own sidewalk charm and decadent glam. Also it makes a good option for a date. You have plenty to choose for dinner and drinks all around Kottbusser Tor.

New York / Cafe

A long weekend brunch is my idea of the perfect meal. Paired with a watermelon mimosa at Cafe Gitane's Jane Hotel outpost is the perfect way to do it.

Aurillac / Shop

Every time I need inspiration for a present for friends or family, I go to this store and inevitably discover something intriguing, exciting and unique. Books, clothes, luxurious old fabrics, bizarre little objects, and a lovely owner whose passion for antiques is communicative.

Jaipur / Shop

The workshops at the Gem Palace are a true fascination to me. Here you can witness the processes from rough stones being delivered to the final steps of cutting, faceting and polishing as well as setting and making. But what I admire truly is the shapes they can create sometimes losing up to 70% of a stone to create a dome for a pair of earrings.

Amsterdam / Place

Just a fantastic spot on the edge of the city. Its connection of the Amsterdam-Rijn Canal to the IJ, Amsterdam’s big open water, that was once part of the North Sea, but now dammed in by the Dutch. Sometimes it’s just a relief to leave the prettiness and the cuteness of the Amsterdam canals behind and experience some space. Few people come out here and in summertime it’s just a delightful spot to have a picnic and watch the boats come in.

Melbourne / Park

Each evening at dusk, thousands of bats fly from the park to feed on fruit trees all over Melbourne, in what seems like an endless stream. It's an incredible display by nature in a city environment.

Stockholm / Shop

Good selection of second hand and cheap.

Bangkok / Area

I love walking around Bangkok Old Town on a sunny day. I grew up in small buildings, only two to three floors, but now all I can see are big buildings such as hotels and condominiums. I see construction sites everyday. When I want to relax my eyes and lungs, I usually go to an old town. I never feel tired or bored. I can walk from dusk till dawn and stop at an old pharmacy and drink cold and sweet chrysanthemum tea.

Paris / Type Designer

Hi, my name is Morgane Vantorre and I am in love with letters in every shape and form. Passionate about the materiality of our written language and what its forms convey beyond its meaning, I am a French freelance multitasker whose Type Design is at the heart of everything I do. ⁂ I would define myself first as a type designer working for foundries, agencies or for myself. From conception, to development to completion, I enjoy creating and producing typefaces or lettering, but I also offer art direction, editing and graphic design services. I am also a recent editor for Monotype, for whom I write articles on French typography and graphic design news, and a typography teacher in a Parisian art school where I transmit my passion to young bachelor students. Then, I like to experiment, during my free time, with letterforms through different techniques and materials such as calligraphy, stone carving and embroidery.
