Basel / Museum

The old 'Hauptbau' part of the museum hosting the permanent collection and massive staircase.

Authentic Tibetan and Nepalese cuisine. Excellent noodles. Family owned.

Manchester / Art

This hidden gem in Salford is home to lots of Manchester's artists, designers, illustrators and makers — and I include myself in that bunch of creative folk. There are frequent exhibitions, workshops and other events taking place inside this old cotton mill. It's also one of the supporting venues for one of the city's biggest musical festivals Sounds From The Other City.

London / Place

Dover Street is the true creative hub of Mayfair and a breath of fresh air driving straight through an area often perceived as stuffy. Landmarks such as the wonderful Dover Street Market (don't forget to sample the fresh carrot cake at Rose Bakery on its 4th floor) on very effectively pull creative people towards the area which equates to plenty of street style to appreciate. Our Crane.tv offices are also located on Dover Street, naturally adding to the street’s charm!

Geneva / Shop

“La Rustine” association is led by a volunteer team. Passionate about cycling and soft mobility in general, they are keen to see the streets full of bikes. Their goal is to train you on bike mechanics so that a puncture or a relaxed cable are no longer insurmountable problems. They also have a home repair service. The workshop “La Rustine” is a place where you can repair your bike yourself if you know mechanics but you do not have the tools. Otherwise a mechanic will help you and will teach you to make your repair. They also have a wide selection of used parts, and some bikes for sale. You need to be a member to benefit from the tools and advice. Membership costs 15frs per year.

Berlin / Cinema

This cinema is nothing special if you're looking for that comercial combo big screens + major sound system, but it has its own sidewalk charm and decadent glam. Also it makes a good option for a date. You have plenty to choose for dinner and drinks all around Kottbusser Tor.

Wrocław / Bar

"Karawan" means "a hearse" in Polish. And sw. Antoniego street used to be full of funeral parlours. Got it? Now the area is full of great cafes and bars and this one is unique. Good wine and good atmosphere. Makes you feel like in Berlin. Boo!

Paris / Museum

Barcelona / Hotel

Former headquarters of the "Textil Algodonera Foundation", an emblematic building of the XIX century of neoclassical style that is a reference in the city of Barcelona. They have an excellent restaurant where you can make a good brunch and a terrace ideal for summer evenings, I usually go to design when I need tranquility and that they treat me with professionalism, ideal also for an informal meeting or a drink with a good friend.

London / Library

The V and A houses a public collection of prints and drawings of every kind imagineable from old master drawings to photographs, playing cards, fashion plates and wallpapers. You have to select what you want to see from the collection http://collections.vam.ac.uk/and book in advance. The behind-the-scenes route up to the study room of v and a is a treat alone (pictured)

Tokyo / Museum

Kawamura Memorial DIC Museum of Art is located in Sakura, Chiba Prefecture. It has a wide collections, from Rembrandt to Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman. In the past, there have been exhibitions of famous artists like Gerhard Richter. It's not just that it has a wonderful collection, but also that structure of the building shows the paintings and sculptures in a way that lets you consider freely whether or not they are great. Around the museum there is space to stroll, and some shopping. It's a place you can enjoy without getting tired. The museum is approx 50 min from Tokyo.

Shanghai / Bar

The street view from the outdoor seat plus the fresh bakery make it a perfect spot for breakfasters to chill. I still recall the glorious sunshine last time there with my friend...such a good time!

She wrote bachelor thesis on hoaxes and visual credibility, and did a VR project about hyperreality. She is also interested in possibilities that new media and technologies offer to the field of graphic design and storytelling and vice versa.
