Round up

28 May 2009

Thanks to Yorgo for exposing our burger lunch in the park catching up on things, which reminds me I haven’t been posting for a while, and that I still have to thanks Pieter for the amazing chat and dinner we had in Milan just before his opening at Galleria Patricia Armocida. The show runs until June 19 and you should not miss it!

Then was London and a place I really enjoyed visiting for the first time was the Conservatory at The Barbican, open only on Sundays and Bank Holidays. The best part for me being the catcuses’ greenhouse, truly inspiring! Seems like there will be an interesting workshop on August 13, as part of the events for the upcoming Radical Nature exhibition, might be worth attending if you are in London around those dates.

Also during my stay I had the remarkable experience to meet with Ilse Crawford at her home and finding myself talking about food and restaurants with her husband Oscar Peña. Shame I couldn’t stay for food, next time Oscar!

Speaking of food, I found a great new view of Maison Bertaux on Greek Street, directly from the roof terrace at Soho House. Such a view that I was actually craving one of their strawberries’ cakes!

and final stop before heading back to Italy, Dover Street Market, to meet Charlie, one half of the new Casely-Hayford brand, the other being his dad Joe, which you should definitely check on the second floor racks at Dover Street Market, as I suppose it’s the only place carrying it in Europe at present.
