Amsterdam / Club

De School is my favorite spot in Amsterdam. It opened in January of 2016 on Doctor Jan van Breemenstraat. The place, which used to be a technical school, is more than a nightclub: it’s a restaurant, a café, an exhibition venue, a gym, and many more things. It's owned and run by Post CS BV — the same crew that ran Trouw and Club 11. The nightclub has a capacity of 700 people, and it's located in the institution's former bicycle storage area. The program focuses on local DJs, who are allowed to play extended sets, but international guests also regularly stop by. The ambiance there is so enchanting that it's hard for me to leave even when I can't feel my legs anymore. It's super dark, fog all over the place, super loud, flawlessly music and introspective humans dancing like there's no tomorrow. Who could ask for anything more?

Amsterdam / Sanctuary

Known for their ceramics and carefully thought-out details. Get ready to spend a small fortune.

Porto / Cafe

I was blown away by their homemade coffee-lemonade. If you haven't had it. I recommend trying it.

New York / Restaurant

Chuko has the best vegetarian ramen I've ever had. It's kind of ruined me for other types of Ramen. Favorite neighborhood spot with good people running it.

Jersey City / Shop

Thriftique has a wide selection of items to buy, good place for collectors. Prices are higher than if you were to come across the same things at Goodwill, but not as expensive as a straight up collectors shop. It's like someone already did the searching for you and sifted through the uninteresting, repetitive things that always seem to be at every thrift store, no firestone Christmas album vinyl records. They had a lot of bootleg concert VHS tapes when I last went, the sort of things you wouldn't know where to find elsewhere.

Liverpool / Restaurant

A beautiful restaurant with an open kitchen. Perfect dinner spot for a special occasion.

New York / Place

A legendary basketball court in the West Village that is a popular destination for basketball aficionados, deflated hoop-dreamers, and gawking tourists.

London / Cafe

Great little neighbourhood hangout. Delicious food, good coffee and open evenings Thursday-Saturday. Next to the Sylvanian Family shop!

Melbourne / Gallery

My favourite commercial gallery in Melbourne, Utopian Slumps represents a group of early to mid career Australian and New Zealand artists. Exhibitions are always intriguing and the opening nights are great for people watching.

Saint Petersburg / Shop

One of the best second-hand shops I've ever been to. A lot of stuff like Raf Simons, Jil Sander, Our Legacy, etc, all for unbelievably low prices.

Milan / Bar

It's a very laid back bar located in Chinatown, that serves also food. I have designed this bar with Roberto Marone, who is one of the owners and we took inspiration from our various travels. It's a very cozy, almost homely place and a perfect spot to hang out.

Prague / Art

Amazing spot, gallery in the huge yard you can get a draught beer plus portion of inspiration or just chill.
