Art, Food & Decor

COPENHAGEN: January is a month which makes me think about my house, my kitchen and the year ahead. I have to sort everything out for the next months, think about where to go, what to do… etc. My thoughts are clear when I cook in my kitchen for some friends or enjoy a meal at a nice restaurant, even on my own. I look for places which are different and which give me new perspectives and I buy tons of cooking books which also make me stay at home in my kitchen.

Yesterday in Copenhagen I discovered the Cafe Charlottenborg Contemporary Art Space whose interior has been designed by the Italian designer Martino Gamper. The cafe is an art space with a kitchen focusing on Danish home cooking. The tables are by Arne Jacobsen and fit perfectly into the space.

Summer in Winter

SYDNEY: To escape the colour grey and exchange it for lots of sunlight and bright colours, plan a trip to Australia now. Get inspired by colourful interiors and great bars and restaurants which are not only a treat for your taste buds but also for your eyes. I shop a few things for my London apartment at KIITOS, Living by Design and have dinner at Sydney’s Concrete Blonde in an amazing glamorous, Pop Art-inspired interior design by Michael McCann, who used glass mosaics to show large-scale extracts of comic books.

Good Forever

STOCKHOLM: Svenskt Tenn, a traditional interior shop, has been in the same place for more than 84 years. The recent facelift is worth a trip to Stockholm to find an interesting mix of Swedish, traditional homes, patterns and design in the shop’s motto: “Happy chances philosophy”, a mix of old, new, expensive and cheap objects.
