Still.. some Amsterdam pics. This is an Middle-eastern/Northern African restaurant that functions in an old beautiful hamam (a tradition Turkish bath house – after living in Turkey 3 months I know that those places are fun!). Good food, beautiful design, more good food ..in a good coumpany. That is a great place!



Turkish tea and baklava – happiness… :)


Gorgeous home of Kaisa. I’m eternally in love with old architecture and furniture. But it always gets even better when you add something new…

I found this awesome tea-bag textile design idea in a art academy degree show – love it!

I’m so happy to finally introduce some of my favourite places in the world to you. These three are from Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand.

1. iBerry (the best coffee shop/gelatteria/bakery/hang out place ever!) 2. an art gallery without name (young artists exhibiting outdoors and runing a little coffee/tea shop next to it) 3. awesome asian kitch shop in one of the design streets of CM, out of Nimmenheiman.

Hey- I’m alive! and so is this blog.. kind of. :-S

Oh dear! I’m so sorry for not posting anything for sooo long! I’ve been wanting to but it just hasn’t been the time to do so.

Here comes one collage  from my current location:: Istanbul. I’m here for a couple of months and it’s such a priviledge to be in this inspirational city and culture!

I just found all these white buildings in the Princess Island (part of Istanbul) so pretty so I wanted to share. I will be back some time soon.. and planning to get  properly on track once I’m back in Milano.





I have couple of more posts to do on Chiang Mai and I couldn’t decide what to do next so here are some random ‘ideas’ from the street sides… Milan definitely could do with some of that COLOUR!!!


Hi, I’m Back from riding my lovely bicycle  around and outside of Chiang Mai with my dad who was here for two weeks. Fun!  Here is a cool shop/guesthouse/bar that was painted by a local art/design group called ‘HappyFriday’. Check out more of their work and this project on their blog:  http://www.happyfridayyy.com/blog/?p=269

So there is a tall palm tree that grows through the bar from the basement to the shop upstairs… an interesting use of materials and a mix of cute chairs and plants. Don’t you want to start drawing your own guest house layout already?

OOh no! Okay… I just realised that I have way more to go with posting these hyper cute shops and cafes etc. In addition I have some own work that I never get around posting. Just today’s photos would make to 2 or 3 posts!

and thumbs up for Chiang Mai starting a public organised recycling programme!
