Manila / Restaurant

Toyo is one of my favorite restaurants in Manila. The shop is in the same compound as my studio, so I always bring my visiting friends here for dinner. The ambience is nice and the food is really really good. It's Filipino food in its essence, but done very differently.

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.

Rikuzentakata / Hotel

It's rare for tourists to go to the Tohoku (Northeast) Region of Japan except for Sendai (the capital). I've been there a couple of times for a design residency. It's good to use Rikuzentakata as the base. I highly recommend Hakoneyama Terrace. It has a nice view, they serve good food and the accommodation is good.

Tokyo / Cafe

This is my favorite go-to coffee shop in Tokyo. It's in a quiet and quaint space. I recommend trying their coffee and muffins. It's also right across a park and playground.

Barcelona / Illustrator

Compulsive drawer and professional tea drinker based in Barcelona. Represented world wide by Handsome Frank.

Paris / Art Director

Graphic designer, Illustrator and Myopic from the age of 2½ years, i have a particular view of our world, trying to play as well with shapes and words. Besides my personal practice of drawing and painting, I collaborate with women's magazines as well as street-wear brands - house publishing or cultural associations - while animating my small house publishing « LIMO » or workshops for adults and children.

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.

New York / Writer

Luna Adler is a Brooklyn-based writer and illustrator. She likes to think of herself as an agreeable Scorpio.

Vilnius / Artist

I am an Illustrator based in Lisbon but always moving between Lisbon- Vilnius and Berlin. I create colorful illustrations inspired by cultures, traveling and social issues.
