Cacto Cacto is THE place in Madrid where you can stock up on beautiful cactus plants and succulents. For our #urbanjunglebook we recently gathered some of our favorite plant shops from around the world and this one was also on our list.

Santa & Cole at Parc de Belloch
Santa & Cole is this brand that you know unconsciously. At least I did. Their street lights brighten several big avenues in Barcelona (and other cities) and their lamps and furniture reside in many homes, hotels and offices around the world. Santa & Cole actually don't design their products themselves, they are an editing company, Read article…
Solomillo restaurant in Barcelona
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…

Youssouf, co-founder of Maison Château Rouge and Read article…
Anton Doll Holzmanufaktur in Munich
When in Munich, on my way to get an ice cone at True & 12 to celebrate good #urbanjunglebook news, I passed by shop & wood workshop Anton Doll. The beautiful wooden stools in the shop window convinced me to take a peek inside. It's probably because I'm currently slightly obsessed with stools: they are Read article…
Munich mini guide
Two weeks ago I was in Munich, Germany to work on #urbanjunglebook with Igor. The book is nicely shaping up and we're currently in the middle of the last bits and pieces of text. It's been intense and lots of hard work, but so much fun as well! Very soon we'll be able to (finally!) 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…
Helsinki travel guide
Upon popular request: here is my mini guide of all the places I enjoyed in Helsinki, Finland, last month. I can't wait to go back to taste more Finnish pastries, to enjoy more saunas and visit more islands of the Archipellago. And meet more Finnish people, because that's what really impressed me in Helsinki: everyone Read article…
