Shanghai / Cafe

A decent coffee stop for urban cyclists and people feel connected to the community. The variety of house blend speciality coffee is as good as the the line-up of the fancy bikes at the doorstep:-)

Berlin / Park

It is the connection between Leinestrasse u-Bahn and Tempelofer Feld. The park is wild and quiet, and super relaxing :) it is nice to sit on a bench and do some people-watching: it is a big inspiration for illustrators!

New York / Shop

Otherwild carries a little bit of everything: small-batch beauty products, artist-made ceramics, witchy necessities like incense and sage, punchy graphic tees, and everyone’s favorite feminist activity book: The Cunt Coloring Book. The LES shop is a great place to find unique gifts, but it also bills itself as a community gathering place.

Amsterdam / Place

Under the city, the extraordinary Gesamtkunstwerk by Louis van Gasteren, Jan Sierhuis and others is located in Nieuwmarkt underground. This is one of the public artworks of the Seventies and early Eighties endangered due to station renovation on the Underground Eastline. At present there is a notice hanging at different spots on the wall: ‘‘This artwork has been temporally removed due to renovations”.

London / Shop

A+ little book store full of publications made by artists. So many beautiful and interesting books to choose from.

London / Cafe

Brunch and lunch in a beach-house-style cafe.

Perpignan / Shop

Typical south catalan fabric shop with stripes.

Amsterdam / Museum

Unfortunately it’s not in Amsterdam but De Pont, museum of contemporary art is worth the 1,5 hour trip with the train. The building itself is beautiful, it’s a former wool mill but also there collection is worth seeing!

London / Architecture

2 Willow Road designed by Ernő Goldfinger and completed in 1939. It has been managed by the National Trust and is open to the public. Goldfinger lived here with his wife and their children until his death in 1987.

Porto / Place

A 17th century former Augustinian monastery is laid on the highest point of Vila Nova de Gaia. From the front of the church there are wonderful views over the river and of both Porto and Gaia. It is the place where I go when I want to feel that "I see everything and nobody sees me."

Tokyo / Museum

Contemporary art museum of Tokyo. I had the chance to attend to 3 cool exhibitions. Huge rooms, nice scenography, good sound (saw Dumb Type collective/Ryoji Ikeda installations). Good restaurant too!

Madrid / Architecture

Edificio residencial del arquitecto Sainz de Oiza racionalista y moderno con el portal al más puro estilo italiano. He vivido en el y es el claro ejemplo de arquitectura bien hecha dejo la fachada sin que la veáis para que os paséis y disfrutéis del orden

STUDIO HELDER is an Antwerp-based design platform, founded by Diana Keller and Brecht Baert in 2010. We’ve designed interiors for private housing, showrooms and workspaces, we give advice, organise workshops and host exhibitions and events. In our store we show objects we designed ourselves as well as furniture, jewelry, accessories and other items made by upcoming, talented artists from all over the world. In everything we do, as diverse as our occupations are, some things are always present: We care about subtlety and creativity. We’re endlessly fascinated by the little nuances and changes that turn something ordinary into an inspiring and beautiful object. To quote the brilliant philosopher ‘Lorax’ from Dr. Seuss: “It’s not about what it is, it’s about what it can become.”

Seoul / Animator

Gyuri Cloe Lee is an independent animator/video artist who is based in Seoul, Korea. Many of her films examine the awkwardness created among seemingly unrelated, or simply misplaced things. Fascinated by heavily saturated color spectrum and unconventional storytelling, she often creates a surreal universe with no real sense of time and space, but somehow believable, and oddly charming. Her films have been shown at numerous festivals around the world. She has received her BFA in Film/Animation/Video at Rhode Island School of Design in 2017.

Lincoln / Artist

Hi! I'm a freelance illustrator from Lincolnshire. Growing up in the countryside gave me a lot of opportunity to explore, fantasize and most of all draw! When illustrating I think about the story I can tell to make the subject come alive. I love illustrating anything conceptual, (particularly editorial), packaging, greetings cards but overall I love drawing!! 💖🌞😻♌💞
