Amsterdam / Museum

The Bartolotti is perhaps one of the most beautiful Museum Houses Amsterdam has, built by someone who once was the richest man in the city, but it's a bit hidden in plain sight. These days, it is run by a group of lovely old ladies, who can't wait to offer you tea or juice. You can walk around the house like you live there. You have to ring the doorbell to get in.

Amsterdam / Shop

This store is filled floor to ceiling with vintage glass- and tableware from France and other countries surrounding the Netherlands. It is a gem for finding birthday or housewarming gifts.

Amsterdam / Shop

If you have money to blow, this is a great place to blow it on Italian vintage designer pieces. I say Armani, you say ... Prada!

Kivik / Restaurant

If you are looking for a reason to visit Kivik, Ulla & Folke are that reason. Their food is great. Their natural wine is great. Their traditionally Swedish interior is great. Their hospitality is great and their logo is strangely Copenhagen hip, in the middle of the South Sweden countryside. I'm sorry I have no better picture, but do check their Instagram account. It is lovely.

Kivik / Art Centre

There's a Sol LeWitt pavilion in the middle of a wheat field in Skåne, and it is part of the Kivik Art Centre. This centre sounds like a crafty old ladies thing, but it is not. It a lovely surprise of modern art with a sea view. Go there, look at art, pet the sheep and then go swim in the coldest sea of Europe - the Baltic.

Rotterdam / Architect

I am a young architect fascinated by the city dynamic, dedicated to contribute my part in the liveliness of our urban fabric, professionally as well as a user. On the one hand, I see it as my purpose to design architecture towards vibrant encounters with the world around us. On the other, I see it as my duty to experience this lively reality, to enjoy and be inspired. I love sharing these inspirations with the community on this website.

Rotterdam / Film Director

Filmmaker, fascinated by social expectations and discomfort, errant characters, strange houses and hidden islands.

Rotterdam / Illustrator

Straight from the 'Wild West' of the Netherlands Joren Joshua (1990) serves his pertly and playful illustrations for the cool. In graphic balanced settings lanky characters pass by to reflect on daily life, in a humorous way. Strongly influenced by graffiti and printing techniques Joren tries to make his mark on commercial and personal projects. Doesn't matter what form or scale.

Rotterdam / Designer

Human researcher, Designer, city wanderer

Rotterdam / Artist

Helmut Smits is multidisciplinary visual artist. Straightforward, critical and witty, Smits is a ceaseless producer of ideas that comment on society and situations in a frank and often humorous way.
