One of the highlights of Sunny Design Days, the week long tour through Spain to discover the best in Spanish design, was the food. Beautiful fresh Spanish food. Flavourful tomatoes, jamón, cheeses, olives, paellas… paired with strong and sweet wines. It's in moments like these that I realize I'm not a food blogger: as soon Read article…

Wild & the Moon in Paris
The other day I passed by this window on my way between two client meetings in Paris. Especially now that we're working on #urbanjunglebook I see plants everywhere. So I couldn't not go in here and take a look at all those plants. I was pleasantly surprised: this café and restaurant looks really nice: old Read article…
Ipi Kulmakuppila in Helsinki
Last week we were interviewed by Radio Helsinki about our trip to the Finnish capital as #HelsinkiSecret residents. Live on air (you can listen to the podcast here), we met ice hockey player Eetu Pöysti from the Helsinki Jokerit and Minna Särelä, CEO of Design District Helsinki. Together we spoke about Finnish food, design, my Read article…
Bananaaaaa!
Yes, I’m going bananas! It has nothing to do with minions, but with a crazy ear infection that’s been chasing me for the past month. The different kinds of pills ease the pain but make me nauseous and I don’t feel strong enough to run (so frustrating!). And overall I feel a bit bleh, despite Read article…
Dulce de Leche in Valencia
Coming home after a three and a half week break meant it was back-to-business straight away. It felt like we hit the ground running: new projects, new clients, a weekend in a cabin on the water, and a bathroom that needed our attention too. Knowing that I have so many sun-drowned photos and stories that Read article…
Sugarfree lemon meringue pie
When life gives you lemons… or when a styling project leaves you with a basket of lemons: make lemon pie! That exactly what I did when I didn't really know what to do with the lemons I used in the IKEA Go Green photoshoot. There's only so much lemon water that you can drink in Read article…
Sla Amsterdam salad bar
If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw that I was in Amsterdam the other day. I met up with my blog pals Deepa and Giova for coffee and pancakes and a stroll around de Pijp. They know me well and took me to Sla, because it's a true Urban Jungle Bloggers hotspot. Ever Read article…
Lunch at Ottolenghi London
This lunch in London was a much anticipated one. Ever since I visited the Ottolenghi deli in Notting Hill this spring, I planned to come back and indulge. The large dishes with gorgeous veggies and the most perfect pastries called my name. Back then I didn't know much about chef Yotam Ottolenghi, I liked the Read article…
September means maize
Remember how I told you I loved working this summer while everyone seemed to be on holiday? Well, people are back and it's very busy/. Back to school (or work) means that soon the maize will be harvested. As a teenager I biked past these same kind of maize fields every day to go to Read article…
Mama mia, Mamama!
A pale pink stand and a brand called Mamama: for an instant I thought this had to do something to do with mamas and children. But mama mia! I was wrong! Mamama is a French design company specializing in innovative tableware. At Maison & Objet they presented their Sfumato collection with 2 cups and 3 Read article…
