The best place to read a book outside or inside one of the greenhouses and be surrounded by all of these different species of nature.

Barcelona / Museum

Best Contemporary Art Museum

Barcelona / Architecture

In 1938 during the Spanish Civil war, Francisco Franco laid siege to the city of Barcelona. On the 30 September 1938, one of Franco's bombs fell on the church killing 30 people most of whom were children from the School of Sant Philip Neri and some were refugee children from Madrid where the church had been turned into a make-shift orphanage. As people pulled survivors from the rubble, a second bomb hit the square, killing 12 more bringing the death toll to 42. It was the second worst bombing hit in Barcelona during the war. Evidence of the bombings can be seen in the pockmarked walls of the church.

Los Angeles / Pub

The Red Lion Tavern has been a neighborhood tavern in Los Angeles for over fifty years (which is a long time for L.A.), and continues to serve as a landmark for traditional German food, a wide selection of German beer, and cozy Old World atmosphere. Plus the waitresses all wear lederhosen, and it's blocks away from my parents' house.

Milan / Attraction

Another fun and inspiring Garden from Milano.

Paris / Shop

At Dries van Noten I always find something and often wear it for years.

New York / Bookstore

Stocks artists’ books and catalogs along with used and rare titles that focus on contemporary art, photography, and classical painting.

New York / Museum

The rooftop garden at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The museum floors below are a maze of tremendous art and inspiration, and taking the elevator to the rooftop garden is the icing on the cake. 360' views of verdant green Central Park bordered by cool glass and steel of Manhattan's cityscape in the distance.

Barcelona / Other

This is definitely my favourite place in town.

Leeds / Creative Space

Full circle is a hidden gem which is just 5 minutes from the Leeds City Centre. This eccentric space is an open plan two floor studio, where you can go enjoy a good food, look at art, purchase clothes, watch films and also where you can go for a cracking night out. Make sure you look out for Mono_Cult events which are hosted there, as they are certainly some of the best nights out I have had in Leeds.

Seattle / Natural Area

Fun secluded surfing.

Paris / Shop

This bookstore only opened recently in my neighbourhood. I spend a lot of time there looking at the many exhibitions organized in its gallery.

London / Designer

For the last six months, I have been a strange tourist in Munich. I came here to work in a studio and had not so much time to visit it properly. But I partly came in Germany because I was interested in its specific creative approach: it’s precision and rigorousity. In it’s system culture in a way. And indeed it’s a very intellectual society, ruled by color codes and order. It was definitely funny to see that these things are visible in many daily aspects of life. Or maybe it’s just me wanting to see them... Very soon, I will move to London - where I would like to do some freelance work, in product, furniture and space design.
