  • Travel: Wroclaw

    Travel: Wroclaw

    We’ve recently come back from our short trip to Wroclaw, one of the largest cities in the west of Poland.

    We’ve selected a few photos of some buildings and places that really impressed us. We specially enjoyed hanging out in the up and coming Borough of Four Temples in the Old Town which is full of small cafes, trendy bars and restaurants.

    If you’re visiting the city, make sure you go for a walk around the University and the oldest district in the city, Ostrów Tumski, which is also very close to Wroclaw’s  ‘Manhattan’ and which we blogged about here before.

    We also managed to interview the founders of a couple of local businesses and we’ll share them with you in the coming weeks.

    You can see more photos from our trip here and if you’ve been to Wroclaw before, let us know about your favourite places!

  • Places: The Newsstand

    Places: The Newsstand

    The Newsstand is a project by creative company ALLDAYEVERYDAY. Since June 15 and until September 30, the newsstand in the Metropolitan subway station in Williamsburg, Brooklyn is being utilised as a venue for independent publications curated by Lele Savari of The 8-Ball Zine Fair.

    The Newsstand stocks titles from independent publishers around the world, including names like Desert Island books, Hamburger Eyes and Pau Wau Publications, as well as a selection of Brooklyn-made food and drink choices.

    To find out more about this innovative initiative, our contributor Charlie Rubin rode the subway to the intersection of the G and L trains to document this temporary space.

  • Shop in Edinburgh: Life Story

    Shop in Edinburgh: Life Story

    Edinburgh is not a city with a great variety of concept stores. When it comes to independent places hosting a nicely curated selection of high-class products from designers and creatives from across the globe, only few come to mind.

    This is the case of Life Story, a concept store owned and run by designers and partners in life Fee and Adam Storey. It brings together a contemporary collection of clothing, shoes, jewellery, homeware, furniture & taxidermy, making the store a must-shopping destination in the Scottish capital.

  • Travel: North Berwick

    Travel: North Berwick

    Yesterday we spent the day in North Berwick, a seaside town 30 minutes away from Edinburgh. We packed our camera, took the train and enjoyed a few hours walking around its beaches and streets, discovering the seabirds of the area and having a delicious meal at the Lobster Shack. We liked it so much that we’re already planning another visit in a couple of weeks!

  • Travel: Wroclaw

    Last month we travelled to Wroclaw in the south west of Poland, to shoot our next video and interview with the owners of an architecture studio – Vroa. The studio is based nearby this complex of six concrete buildings, by many called Wroclaw’s Manhattan. It was designed in the second half of the 1960s by Polish architect Jadwiga Grabowska-Hawrylak and built in the 1970s.

    You either love it or hate it but, without a doubt, the complex is one of the most iconic modern buildings in the city.
