Johanna — Thu, 07 May 2026 09:52:01 +0000

For the last few years, ambitious young chefs that traditionally would be following the path to Michelin stars, have been going rogue. They are rejecting the expected four-hour long chef menus, the truffle shavings, the Bordeaux-heavy wine lists and tables set with white tablecloths and silver desert forks. It’s a dynamic moment. Right now, in

Ava — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 20:07:48 +0000

To the public, Lukas Feireiss is a master of the “curatorial gaze”—a bridge-builder between architecture, art, and spatial theory who translates complex ideas for the world’s most prestigious stages. But to understand the man behind the lectures at UdK, the high-octane exhibition openings, and his Reiki practice, one must look toward the quieter “ways of

To step into the world of Gustav Düsing is to enter a space where architecture behaves more like music than masonry. Whether he is freezing fabric into a structural “tent” or designing award-winning university hubs, Gustav’s work is a study in “productive friction” — the delicate point where radical transparency meets the human need for

For Yorgo Tloupas, design is not a static profession but a high-velocity system of living. As one of the most influential Art Directors of his generation, Tloupas has spent decades defining the visual vernacular of luxury, culture, and mobility through bold typography and a relentless, kinetic aesthetic.

The creative home of Wai Tsui balances nature and the city on the outskirts of Oslo

Lucy Pullicino — Thu, 14 Mar 2024 12:50:14 +0000

The world outdoors is important for Wai Tsui, the founder of Hiking Patrol. So two years ago, when he, his partner Adeline Hermier, and their baby son Lian were looking for a new home, they were immediately drawn to a modernist concrete house a stone’s throw from Oslo, Norway. From its open terrace, large windows, and garden backing onto the forest, the Norwegian creative can go running in the mountains, take his son sledding in the snow, or simply sit around the fire playing with Lego in the central living space. It’s a happy intersection of indoors and outdoors.

Ann-Kathrin and Caroline first met in Paris, a city that was new to both of them. Their shared love of fashion and design was enriched by their discovery of the city, exploring galleries and museums with eager eyes (“We would even sneak into Paris Fashion Week!”).
