The best pizza buffet in town is right behind the house I grew up in. They will make pretty much any pizza you want, plus there is a Mortal Kombat arcade machine in the back. How sweet is that?

New Delhi / Art Centre

Black Box Okhla is performance art space and residency that offers a blank canvas to theatre productions that build worlds within it and how. Plays here to are no ordinary performer/audience set ups. Instead, the seating on three sides of the stage makes for an intimate viewing experience.

New York / Bookstore

Printed Matter—organizer of the NY and LA Art Book Fairs—is a non-profit supporting the work of artists and independent publishers through the circulation of their books. At their store in Chelsea, you can shop an insanely diverse selection of artists’ books, zines, posters, and more. They’re also always hosting awesome in-store exhibitions and events, from book launches and talks to lectures and performances.

Carrboro / Shop

An awesome place that's a combination gas station, convenience store and countrystyle gourmet restaurant – they even have a biodiesel pump stocked with diesel made from recycled restaurant fry fat and a deep wine selection.

New York / Art Centre

Best place to think about space.

London / Museum

The Barbican is worth visiting for it's brutalist architecture alone. The concert programming is really diverse; it's home to the BBC Syphony Orchestra, but you'll also find bands like the Dirty Projectors and the National amongst the classical and contemporary composer line up. Plenty of art, dance and theatre too, however, the Conservatory is the real gem that's not to be missed.

Prague / Bakery

Best bread and coffe in the town.

London / Pub

Classic, wood-panelled boozer with banquettes and bar stools, plus a pool table. Situated close to Goldsmiths, University of London. Vibe: Art School meets Football Fan meets Mark E Smith.

Berlin / Lake

My favorite lake to visit during the warmest months. It's located in the southwestern part of Berlin and it's reacheable by public transportation, just around 40min from the city center.

Lyon / Cafe

Fine coffe and pastries selection. Awesome interior design by Pool Studio.

Los Angeles / Restaurant

Adi and I did the mural for our friend Joram's pizza place TOWN in Highland Park. They have an incredible Mole pie, Pesto Pie, and Mushroom Rosemary. Great vibes, great food.

Dublin / Beach

Sandymount is the closest beach to the city center of Dublin. It is always great to go there for a wander around. It is so close yet still feels as if you are on holidays around there. I have mixed feelings about the industrial estate beside the beach but I love walking around there too, the 2 industrial towers are considered a beautiful iconic landmark on the Dublin skyline.

We’ve designed interiors for private housing, showrooms and workspaces, we give advice, organise workshops and host exhibitions and events. In our store we show objects we designed ourselves as well as furniture, jewelry, accessories and other items made by upcoming, talented artists from all over the world. In everything we do, as diverse as our occupations are, some things are always present: We care about subtlety and creativity. We’re endlessly fascinated by the little nuances and changes that turn something ordinary into an inspiring and beautiful object.
