De Studio is the creative headquarters of Antwerp, where people can be spectator and artist at the same time. You can come here for dance, theater and interesting parties.

New York / Art Centre

Dia:Beacon is a short train ride from the city in a former Nabisco box printing factory. This art foundation has 240,000 square feet of art from the 1960s to the present. Dia features the work of Sol LeWitt, Imi Knoebel, Andy Warhol, Dan Flavin, Agnes Martin, On Kawara, Bruce Nauman, and many others. I love going during the summer to enjoy the gardens surronding the building.

New York / Gallery

Great gallery space in Brooklyn/Bushwick with oftentimes pop-up-exhibitions like the picture above during the opening of @preludeprojects

London / Restaurant

Great food and atmosphere in Brixton. Try their Vegan Viking pizza: Cashew cheese, pistachio pesto, red chillies, rocket and mint or their Cauliflower cheese arancini. And who doesn't like a bottomless brunch in the weekends?

Barcelona / Hotel

Very nice hotel

Oakland / Shop

Surplus of everything - if you're looking for new speakers, scrounging for art supplies/materials, or building a house they have what you didn't realize you were looking for.

New York / Transport

Coming back from from New Haven, we got off at Grand Central and he took me down one of the concourses to the place with the vaulted ceiling. He stood at one corner and I stood at another and we whispered into the walls, our voices drifting across to each other.

London / Transport

The number 9 bus is the last of London’s old Routemasters. It’s a reminder of how far London has come over the years both in technology and design. The route itself is also one of the Heritage routes going past all of London’s key attractions such as Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, Hyde Park Corner and the Royal Albert Hall and the buses are still run by a traditional conductor which is fun and keeps things personal. It is a quintessential London journey.

Paris / Restaurant

My favorite restaurant a few meters from my home. French cuisine of a very high level. Sublime wine list.

Paris / Gallery

Architecturally stunning, a beautiful and harmonious space showcasing contemporary art. I've often seen some amazing work here and been introduced to new artists making great work. There is a beautiful outdoor space, with installations by Agnes Varda.

Milan / Restaurant

A small family restaurant with very tasty Italian cuisine (be sure to make reservations for the evening)

Albufeira / Artist

Studio Vanessa Barragão is a design studio focusing on the artisanal techniques and wasted yarns from the industry to produce textiles and products for interiors. Growing up in the seaside, her connection to the ocean is the inspiration for her artworks. Vanessa Barragão’s work is characterized by her captivating environments of coral reefs, cleverly combining craft and recycled materials into unique and luxurious sculptural carpets and tapestries for floors and walls. Vanessa was born in Albufeira, in the south of Portugal. Her studio was founded in 2014 when she attended a Master degree at the Lisbon University in fashion and textiles design. There she developed her first wool yarn collection and tapestries through an ecological artisanal process.

Eindhoven / Designer

Fransje Gimbrère is a multidisciplinary designer, born and raised in Tilburg, the textile city of The Netherlands, and graduated in 2017 from the Man & Identity department at the Design Academy in Eindhoven. She observes and explores the world with profound critical thinking and an intuitive interest for the aesthetics of shape, color, image and material. This ability to monitor draws her into questioning the world as it is. With her awareness of aesthetic quality, use of a variety of materials and a variety of mediums, Fransje has produced a multidisciplinary range of work. Her concepts and designs often contain contradictory elements and a new playfull approach, resulting in a little idiosyncrasy or raw edge in every one of them.

Daniela Spector studied photography in Miami and escaped the heat and Pitbull by fleeing to New York where she honed her skills in photography and set up shop. A curious photographer, her work crosses genres with a satirical and formalistic approach.
