Le Trocadéro Secret Place. Go and the see the beauty of french history.

Sydney / Club

an ocean pool, sit in the sauna and watch dolphins and whales. sun bath, do laps.....learn to swim. the bergs is gold

I like this place to cool off during hot summer days. Have a short walk upriver and let yourself float down by the green and fresh water, sourcing from Lake of Zurich. If you have the guts, throw yourself down the crossing bridge.

Geneva / Restaurant

The Tea is an address as only geneve knows how to propose them, a little jewel of the Chinese restoration that you will discover only by chance or hotly recommended by connoisseurs and / or fans (and they are many). Nestled in the heart of the Quartier des Bains, this tiny Asian specialty restaurant offers genuine and delicious cuisine, featuring a myriad of Dim-Sum (steamed ravioli) to discover or rediscover. In addition to its culinary specialties for which the establishment is particularly recognized, the Tea, like its name suggests, proposes especially a very wide selection of Chinese teas with evocative and poetic names, whose aficionados of the kind can easily be relished. You will also discover many accessories for The Tea, including a multitude of teapots in fonts or sandstones all more cute ones than the others: quite charming.

London / Art

The most beautiful contemporary gallery in London aptly named White Cube, the space is an artwork in itself. Its portfolio of artists and exhibition programme is top of the league, always presented as with style and grace as the space itself. Photograph by Paul Riddle

Edinburgh / Gallery

There has been an increasing number of small galleries and artist-run spaces emerging in Edinburgh recently. Superclub is one that definitely stands out. It's housed in an old garage/tyre depot that has been converted into a gallery upstairs and studio spaces down below. They put on exhibitions, bands, films and all sorts of other fun stuff. It’s a really exciting place. My studio is here.

New York / Place

Unlike a lot of neighborhoods the sidewalks in this area are often still paved in the original slate slabs. You can see “extra” pieces sometimes chained up outside like this…. Why pour concrete?

Berlin / Restaurant

Spindler is my favorite brunch stop when I'm in the mood for fresh eggs and classy but-yet-simple athmosphere.

New York / Shop

Moss is a store that always inspires me, mixing conceptual art and design. I could spend ages in there looking at the ideas or how designers’ executed these products. Almost everything in the store is one of a kind.

Los Angeles / Cemetery

The Day of Death is one of the most amazing experience you can get from a city like LA. Every year, during the week-end of Halloween, the Hollywood Cemetery becames the stage of the most candid and beautiful celebration of life and death I ever seen.

Nendaz / Area

If you're around Verbier or any of the nearby 4 valleys, and if you're in to ski touring, drop out the backside from Mont Fort and get ready for your life's hike. This mountain landscape is absolutely breathtaking and the snow is fantastic. Although, make sure you're fully geared up for the backcountry, have read the weather and avalanche reports and that you go out with a good team that you can trust. Ski to live another day!

Los Angeles / Designer

I believe that jewelry should be a characteristic of the wearer; as distinct and individual as the person who wears it. Always earthy and metal prominent, my form of design is to present a contemporary take on traditional items. Whether the project is to repurpose inherited pieces, design a custom item, or simply add to our collection, the process is very intentional. Since Sustainability and small-scale production is my main focus, our pieces are never mass-produced or ready to ship and I take pride in the intimacy of creating made to order pieces.
