Geneva / Restaurant

A legendary Geneva establishment from the 80s and 90s, the Bleu Nuit rises from the ashes and now offers a bistro atmosphere with a nicely vintage decor. A restaurant, but also the only real "speakeasy" in the city - before or after your dinner, enter through the fridge door to see!

Paris / Bar

The iconic place to be in Marais since ever!

Manila / Art

A dedicated space in Manila for contemporary art galleries, institutions, shops, restaurants, cafes and a design studio, along a wide, shaded garden hallway, The Alley is a quiet and relaxed place where you can sit outside from afternoon to evening over coffee and wine, catch a show, put up a show, meet a friend.

San Francisco / Bakery

This place is a great spot for breakfast / snack / coffee in a cozy ambiance. The staff is lovely and the walls are filled with colourful art pieces.

Dubai / Place

Jumeirah Mosque is the largest mosque in Dubai, (accomidating upto 1200 worshippers), and is one of the only mosques open to non-muslims.

New York / Restaurant

Best restaurant in the world.

New Delhi / Market

Amar Colony Furniture market is the place for vintage furniture pieces and hidden antique gems, all piled up under a blue tarpaulin. This is the kind of place that’s easy to lose your whole day in, in the best kind of way. Bargaining isn’t particularly easy here, unless you buy several pieces from the same seller. You’ll find an assortment of distressed colonial styled pieces thrown in the ringer with stuff that feels inspired by Indian royalty.

New York / Cafe

This outpost of Seattle coffee is an excellent place to get your morning cappuccino, afternoon macchiato, or just some beans to take home. I lived in Seattle for 6 years before moving to New York and at first I was afraid the coffee here wouldn’t measure up, but lucky for me there are plenty of great places. Picking a favorite wasn’t easy!

Porto / Shop

I discovered this warehouse / shop few months ago, but I was very annoyed at myself for the fact that I so often passed by and never noticed it. It is an endless world of leathers and accessories and tools for its work, along with a magnificent Art Nouveau façade that invites everyone to come and enjoy the amiability of the owners.

Milan / Cafe

Cute cafe designed by Wes Anderson at the Prada Foundation. The interior is in the style of a Milanese bar from the 1950s/60s and has a good selection of sandwiches, coffee and alcoholic drinks.

Barcelona / Architecture

In 1938 during the Spanish Civil war, Francisco Franco laid siege to the city of Barcelona. On the 30 September 1938, one of Franco's bombs fell on the church killing 30 people most of whom were children from the School of Sant Philip Neri and some were refugee children from Madrid where the church had been turned into a make-shift orphanage. As people pulled survivors from the rubble, a second bomb hit the square, killing 12 more bringing the death toll to 42. It was the second worst bombing hit in Barcelona during the war. Evidence of the bombings can be seen in the pockmarked walls of the church.

Los Angeles / Artist

Matthew Brandt (b. 1982, Los Angeles) received his BFA from Cooper Union in 2004 and MFA from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2008. Interested in physicality, process and landscape, Brandt’s ability to stretch the readings of an image, multiplying them both physically and conceptually, speaks directly to his interest in how images loom and meanings shift within a shared visual history. His work is the clever manifestation of a photographic alchemist, satisfying the urge for the tangible, and grounding us in the present. Brandt’s precocious talent has landed him in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Armand Hammer Museum (Los Angeles) and the Elton John Collection. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles.
