London / Architecture

The Barbican has so much to offer! From beautiful architecture, to a conservatory, amazing art, films, music and performances. It is such an exciting and relaxing place to hang out. Even if you don't have a purpose for visiting the Barbican, it's good for just having a tea with a friend.

London / Art

This is one of my favourite places in the whole of London. Cernamic, run by Nam and Susi, they offer some fantastic workshops and at a very affordable price. They have really cultivated a welcoming environment, full of lovely people and a place to share and recieve knowledge.

London / Bookstore

Biblioteka is a library that collects and makes publicly available artists' books, photography books, zines, ephemera and publications on architecture and design. They operate as an experimental library space exploring what a library could be. After running 3 spaces in Kyiv, Ukraine their collection is now based in London, UK.

London / Shop

The best magazine store in London! MagCulture stocks around 600 independent magazines from all over the world. They always have the latest issue of everything and you will ALWAYS find something you've never heard of before. Make sure you visit on PAY-DAY, as there is a good chance you'll walk away with a delicious new publication.

Not far from the center of Paris lies this fantastic art gallery. It is an astonishing building and has an amazing collection of works. The ticket you buy for the museum usually allows you free entry into the neighbouring theme park!

Paris / Bookstore

If you're looking for somewhere that has an an excellent selection of artist books then Yvon Lambert is the place to go. Not only that but they sell incredible tote bags, with great straps and nice minimal design that will last you a life time. Out the back is a small gallery space, often showcasing the work of featured artist who's book is for sale in the shop. One of my favourite things about this shop is how friendly and welcomign they are! Not only that but they do cool collaborations, such as the one with David Horvitz, where he emails them a new photograph of the sky every day, the bookshop prints it out and you can only buy that one image on the day.

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.

Sydney / Art

The MCA is situated just in front of the water, with views of the Sydney Opera house and right next to the Harbour bridge. With 3 floors of contemporary art, starting with more emerging artists on the first floor, going up to it's permannent collection on the second and then usually a mindblowing solo show from an established artist or group show. You can finish your visit with a lovely meal and drinks on the fourth floor, which offers some of the best views of Sydney. Pictured here is a photograph taken from Tatsuo Miyajmi's exhibition and his artwork Mega Death.

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.
