The design and photography floor at Barnes & Noble bookstore in Union Square.

Groningen / Academy

This is the (work)shop for students at Academie Minerva (Art Academy Groningen) and is located in their facility. Old prints and typography-families everywhere are so inspiring. All typefaces are located here, including old machines for perfect hand-crafted work.

London / Bar

A friend took me to this bar on Greek Street, I’m unsure of what it’s called or if it should be there, but it feels pretty authentic and makes you dream of the Soho of the 60s.

Jaipur / Attraction

For me Amer Fort is a true Gem in this city. Built in the16th century it remains intact. The second courtyard is the most impressive part. I love the mix of white marble, the mirror work and the beautifully arranged garden. On Sundays I often go for tea at Hot Pink on their secret terrace where the view is just breathe taking. And for a true Maharja experience what a great way to end the day by having diner on the private terrace of 1135 restaurant.

Madrid / Art

One of the most interesting contemporary art galleries in the city located in "Las Salesas" area.

Barcelona / Museum

Can Framis was just another Poblenou factory at the end of the 18th century. In 2009 it was converted into a museum of contemporary painting, thanks to the Fundació Vila Casas

Paris / Shop

Soft bed linen, beautiful cutlery, nice couchs, affordable kitchen products…

São Paulo / Bar

Small and cozy cocktail place

Barcelona / Museum

Permanent collection of some 3,800 pieces has now been spread across five adjoining palaces, two of which are devoted to temporary exhibitions.

London / Museum

An obvious choice but no 'best of London' list is complete without the Barbican

Zürich / Cafe

Zürich seemed to have exceptional pancakes. Yum. One place we sampled more of these fluffy goodies was in Café Lang – a beautiful haven of dark wood and tiles. It was also one of the places open on a Sunday morning which was extremely helpful. For this reason (plus the fact that its lovely) meant that it was pretty busy on a Sunday morning. We waited at the coffee bar with more espressos while we waited for a table. It might be an idea to book if you decide to go. I loved it here. The staff were really friendly, the food was delicious and they had super-swank toilets – which is always a bonus in my book.

The Hague / Food Store

There are many Indonesian restaurants in The Hague, but this is one of my favorites. Only 3 tables. Mainly take away food. Also very kind staff.

Johannesburg / Photographer

Art and portrait photographer based in Johannesburg, South Africa Brett Rubin is a South Africa based photographer & visual artist inspired by the relationship between the structural and the natural, and particularly how this affects people in both urban and pastoral environments. This forms the focal point of a series titled Auto-Portraits (2011-ongoing), which aims to capture fleeting glimpses into democratic South Africa taken while travelling at high speeds and utilizing the resulting abstraction that occurs as a rhythmic dissonance to forge an exploration into the country’s contemporary landscape.

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.

Berlin / Artist

Marc Philip van Kempen (1979) is a Dutch artist living in Amsterdam and Berlin. Much of his practice consists out of life-sized threedimensional reconstructions of media images that result in a kind of ‘spatial collage’. His work brings elements of photography, sculpture and new media together in unconventional ways, challenging the viewers perspective.
