Cape Town / Bar

New Harbour, is a craft distillery, run by the amazing due Nic and Andri Janeke. They will not only serve you the best Gin in Cape Town, but will also make you feel happy and at home. You have to try their Vodka, Rooibos Infused Gin and Spekbook Gin, honestly my favourite Gin on the planet.

London / Other

Getting lost is an age old suggestion but a good one. Put away your cell phone or your A-Z and just wander around. I still do this regularly even though Ive lived here for nearly 10 years. London is a big city and it drip feeds you its secrets sometimes. You will come across things you wouldn't usually, in amongst the Starbucks and pret a mange there are some amazing sights. Just 'being' somewhere is a great experience and one no guide book can help you find.

Riga / Bakery

Randomly stumbled over this place while running and decided to come back one day. The owner Ruta just recently opened it and lives her dream of an own little café. I tried quiet a couple of her sweet treats and they were all amazing.

Vilnius / Shop

Record shop & label based in Vilnius, Lithuania. Electronic music, club culture and underground community-oriented. Selling new and second hand vinyl records, cassette tapes as well as music related accessories and merchandise.

London / Transport

Aside from the fact of the underground being the oldest running railway system in the world, I find the underground just an incredibly strange place. Sometimes it’s like I’ve entered an organised maze and just walk without even thinking. The photo is taken of the floor from one of the trains, it’s normally what you tend you look at when you’re on the train.

New York / Bar

It's a bar with live Jazz music, random furnitures, and bunch of games like pool, ping-pong, chess, and etc. The place is filthy, disorganized, and fun.

Portland / Shop

Located in the best little strip mall in Portland. Tiga has great drinks, music, and food for you to enjoy. Then wander 2 doors down to Beacon Sound and flip through a well-curated collection of vinyl records.

Barcelona / Park

In addition to its unique architecture, this place is my favorite spot to skate in barcelona. There i can feel the wind and the sound coming from the sea. It's relaxing and refreshing and at the same time i'm putting my energies out while skating.

Paris / Art

A gallery I like to visit when I am in Paris, amazing space, great selection of artists and a welcoming team. And also a really gorgeous staircase.

Paris / Canal

Very popular in the warm days, deserted at night, frozen in winter. I grew up with canals and long walks along them, so it's nice to do the same here.

Oxford / Museum

The place I always go for inspiration, you can touch lots of the taxidermy animals and there is a separate collection in the back called Pitt Rivers which is a collection of over 500,000 objects from all around the world, especially look out for the shrunken heads!

Johannesburg / Botanical Garden

One of the most beautiful parks in Johannesburg. Emmarentia Botanical Gardens and Emmarentia Dam is ideal for a picnic or a stroll to clear your mind. Especially majestic in Autumn.

I like to work on public space, playing with landscapes and observing my surroundings. I try to travel as much as possible to discover new cultures and find inspiration for new uses and forms.

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.

New York / Writer

A Design Strategist with a focus on qualitative research, I have extensive global experience gathering and translating consumer insights that improve design on both emotional and functional levels. I champion users within the innovation process to create better experiences at home, work and play, while helping key stakeholders align on successful business strategies. Lately I've partnered with designers from every discipline to create a series of visual brand languages for a world-leading surgical robotics company. The Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum published my book, "Design for Repair: Things Can Be Fixed," under the DesignFile imprint in May 2015. Metropolis, Fast Company, and Core77 have published my writing recently.

Barcelona / Art Director

We create inspirational brands through three creative practices: art direction, branding and the creation of spaces. In our work we seek to order the attributes, qualities, history and beauty of a brand to give it an unexpected yet personal message, around which we can build a lasting and elegant image. Our clients want to build a universe of new images that convey honesty and credibility. To achieve this, we look for useful and simple solutions that are visually clear and meet their needs. We are based on simplicity and familiar languages, taking into account the imperfection and the wabi sabi philosophy. We are always researching and documenting ideas that will be eventually realised as something new and original.

Moscow / Photographer

I was born in St Petersburg, then, at 11, moved to Siberia where I have lived for 12 more years, graduated from a local university before returning to my hometown in 1998. I took various jobs there before finally turning to photography. From last August I am based in Moscow, a mad metropolis full of contrasts, energy and drama at every corner. In terms of urban design and architecture, many consider it a failed city, and you really have to know it from the inside to be able to appreciate its vibrance and dynamics. In this nostalgic picture (by Savva Bogatyrev), I am on a tram back in St Pete with my wife Veronika.
