Mick van de Wiel Author: Lauranne Cox

No coffee, no...?

Awoken Mick?

noying. I definitely change channels whenever she is on tv.

If coffee is an addiction, what is your ritual?

Any good coffee spots at the moment? What’s your tipple?

I need to drink coffee every morning; otherwise I won’t function and get a headache. In the morning I will just have a cup of filtered coffee and I use a regular coffeemaker. And I drink some after dinner: then I use a Cona coffeemaker (an all glass coffee maker that infuses the coffee). This is coffee at its best. The rest of the day I’ll have a few cups, I’d say about 8 a day in total. Whenever there is time anyway.

What is your favorite coffee moment?

I think the Cona coffeemaker makes the best coffee and I use Simon Levelt’s Mocha Limu beans. I don’t think there are many places out there that have good coffee. I would meet up at Bagel & Beans during the day, but to really meet up with people I think Spieghel is nice in Rotterdam. Your coffee can be topped with a variety of liquors and they serve it with a nice, little stroopwafle.

Whilst studying at the art college in Utrecht I used to go to the Bagels & Beans in Den Bosch; i hung out there and helped the owner with his computer.

Apparently, some kind of famous soap star from Onderweg naar Morgen hung out there as well. In Rotterdam at the Breakaway Cafe I had an awkward -but funny in hindsight- encounter with a bartender who was picking me up. I had no idea, until she asked me to join her to her place. At that moment my girlfriend came to pick me up and the three of us must have stood there, for what I felt like, was eternity.

Who would you like to meet up for coffee?

Who would you like to throw with some hot steaming coffee?

Is there something that will keep you up at night, except from coffee?

Easy, that would be TV hostess Patty Brard. I think she is a completely awful woman and just plain an-

Jim Jarmusch, in this scenario he would be the most suitable person, of course. I loved Coffee and Cigarettes, Jarmusch picks brilliant actors and takes time to choose framing and create good stories, unlike most stuff that you see nowadays.

What would we find in your kitchen cabinet?

Japanese mixed nuts, shortbread cookies, variety of coffee and Earl Grey Kusmi Tea, that we picked up from Paris last weekend.

Not really, I’m not really a worrier.

My Sweet Memory Dorian is going global for the best cafes and your daily fix of Joe. Next stop: Sydney’s My Sweet Memory.

Author: Dennis Bruining

Whoever said coffee places need to be all about good coffee might want to consider brewing over that statement while enjoying a coffee in My Sweet Memory.

Is it a stationery store? A coffee bar? Or even maybe a furniture shop? MSM, in fact, combines all of the above in a blend that is unlike any other coffee place in the city.

MSM’s décor is an interesting and eyepleasing mix of classy European chic with bubbly Asian quirkiness. The chairs and tables are reminiscent of a French rustic coffee bar along the Seine while the collection of miscellaneous stationery products demands a little bit

of browsing things-you-lovebut-really-don’t-need-items. I happen to fell in love with the wooden analogue radio. What I really wanted though was the Herschel backpack, but before actually buying the bag I decided to have a coffee first. I chose an iced Vanilla Latte with a Danish Blueberry Roll. I was surprised to see my coffee being brought to table in less than 2 minutes accompanied with the roll. The coffee was a delicate and perfect mixture, not like those overly sweet other Asian drinks you can get elsewhere. And the Danish roll had the perfect texture and didn’t taste as if it had been on display for days. But the biggest surprise was the pricetag on

the chair I was sitting on. That’s right, in MSM you can even buy the chairs you sit on. The chair was a bit over budget so I went for the bag only.

MSM is open late, located right next to Town Hall and the train station, and lies in between Sydney CBD and Chinatown. The perfect place to start your day, unwind in the afternoon, or end your day after you’ve been out for dinner. And who knows, you might end up going home with a chair and tables set.

My Sweet Memory. 95 Bathurst Street, Sydney, NSW 2000.

Virginie van Kalken Author: Melissa Peters

Who deserves a nice card?

There will be a lot of birthdays soon, so I think those people deserve a postcard.

Are there any unanswered letters that you wish to reply to?

Most “letters” I answer promptly, but there are a few letters for which there are no answers unfortunately.

What would you rather receive: a love letter or a love email and why?

It’s always nice when someone thinks of you, whether it is an email, a text message or a letter. It is more fun if they keep it personal.

What is lying on your nightstand at the moment?

Actually, I don’t own a bedside table. I have a stack of magazines and some junk next to my bed.

What was the most horrible vacation or road trip you’ve been on?

I’ve had a couple of road trips from hell. Both times, I was on my way to a concert. For the first one I had to travel three and half hours because there were problems with the railway but fortunately, I was just in time for the concert.

The other trip was by bus. The busdriver looked like a mixture between a hobo and Santa Claus.

On top of that, he didn’t know how to get to the venue, so we had to miss the support act.

What would you take with you to a trip to the moon?

I do not think I really need products on the moon. If you really think of the things that are essential, I would take oxygen, food and fuel to return. You probably could take some pretty pictures from up there. So I would bring a camera to be able to capture those.

What is the most beautiful lyric that you know by heart?

Music is in my heart, especially after a concert, then I can really feel the artists experience. My favorites are: Arctic Monkeys, Last Shadow Puppets, Wolfmother, The Black Keys, The Strokes, Miles Kane and Interpol.

Do you think sending postcards is still meaningfull these days?

Yes, I think so. When on holiday, I do sent cards.

I also think that the cards are more diverse than an email for example. Getting a card is nice because it means that someone is thinking of you.

Is there any special card that holds a deeper meaning to you?

Every year I look forward to find a birthday card for my father. Last year I had an Eastern-style card with a Nicolas Cage look-a-like on it that played an accordion. It was very cheesy card and it carried an inside joke, because my dad and I think that Nicolas Cage is terrible.

The Big Easy Dorian picks a destination for summer holidaying in 2012: an insight into Surinam’s capital city, Paramaribo.

Author: Jeannine Julen

It is a weird sensation when as a tourist, you realise that the small stroke of roadside grass next to the busy freeway is meant as a bus stop. Even more weird is the continuous waving you would have to do to make the bus driver stop and the screaming when you have reached your destination: “Chef! Stop!” The Surinamese don’t blink an eye, and although some tourists look uneasy, it is mandatory to get used to these rituals. Why? Surinam is the land of easy. This is the land where people walk slowly, take naps in the afternoon and have long winding conversations on every corner of the street.

Surinam is the land where the government forget to implement pedestrian paths, where brass bands colour the street with colourful songs en where people wait on strokes of green grass wait for colourful busses

that arrive at an undisclosed bus time. The busses that run on a non-existent timetable, Rastafarian drivers and Caribbean music will bring you to the hotspots of Surinam’s capital, which are plentiful. While the locals wander the streets during the siesta hour through the rundown passages of the shopping mall, most tourists will spend time at one of the many little restaurants by the Suriname River. This part, known as Waterkant, offers some much needed cooling down, as well as a beautiful view on the river, on the Commewijnebridge and the historical city of Paramaribo.

Nevertheless would it be a lie to pretend that the easiness with which the Surinamese go through life has not brought anything substantial. In the Keizersstraat a Mosque was built with a synagogue right next to it. While the Palestinians and

Israelis fight for decades, Surinam proves two religions within a country can coexist. Not because of political correctness or great tolerance, but out of sheer lack of space. For those culturally inclined: there are no museums in Paramaribo. But the feel of history is apparent when you walk the streets: most colonialstyle houses have been renovated. Artists with a swagger hang their art on every empty wall in public and will not just let you walk by. Just as Surinam’s history, art is part of the everyday walk about town.

Further from the capital, in the sparsely inhabited jungle of this part of the Caribbean, you might enjoy the untouched nature and preserved indigenous tribes.

Maybe the Surinamese are born tired, but the slow pace defines the spirit of the land and its people und will ultimately bring you in a state of happy tranquillity.

Gert-Jan van den Berg Author: Melissa Peters

Who or what has kept you warm this winter?

I kept myself warm nicely with a knitted off-white colored scarf, with a dark, old-fashioned pattern.

What do you think a man should not wear?

to me, I only buy clothes that I like. I’m only interested in unique clothes and accessories.

The last thing I want is having massive logos to speak for me.

Uggs, but at the same time I also think that you should dare to wear just anything. I am delighted to see a man with a unique style, and self-confidence to actually be able to wear a unique style.

How would you describe your style best?

What has been your worst purchase ever?

Finally, what is your favorite shopping experience? Is there a particular city and shops you and your friends like to visit?

Brown ‘baggy pants’, I bought on an impulse, but never really integrated into my style.

What has been your best purchase ever?

A denim shirt, one of my favorites, so you can easily combine and yet it’s always a bit different.

Every man should own one.

What do you prefer? A handmade scarf from grannies’ or one from a luxurious brand, such as Dior?

I do prefer a handmade scarf. Brands mean nothing

Dandy and Indie influences with a nod to the 50s. Just experimenting with clothes, but to a certain extent.

Antwerp is the city to go to for men. There is a large number of the major retail trade. On the other hand, Antwerp also has a variety of unique shops. I prefer a vintage shop, looking for little things that will make my outfit complete. But the best place searching for the right garment is a second hand market. Combine these items together and you’ll have my perfect shopping experience.

Heiligers & Hoed Heiligers & Hoed might be the shopping experience for the classic gentlemen. We went over to have a look and of course, to get inspired for next seasons mens-wear.

Heiligers en Hoed is located at Nieuwstraat 1, in Eindhoven.

Author: Melissa Peters

Heiligers and Hoed is a clothing store where you’ll find the most luxurious clothing brands.

Starting as a small business, the shop was such an instant success that they moved to one of the most important streets of Eindhoven where the industrial past of the city of lights is still palpable. As soon as you walk through the doors, there is an instant atmosphere of luxury.

We spoke to salesman Danny Cordrop who ran the trends of 2012 by.

As this season is coming to its end, we lose the jackets with elbow patches and move on to the new trend: preppy college style.

You see a lot of American influences returning in the clothing

and accessories. Imagine neat shoes with rounded noses, bow ties and plaid prints, how preppy will you be?

College style jackets with front pockets and chest pockets appliqued; ties and suit pocket handkerchiefs in non-silk materials such as wool, cotton or linen; these are a few examples of what is to come. These days materials are looking darker appropriated to cold season. With the change of season, materials will come in a thinner fabrics and get a summery feel. For spring/ summer 2012 natural and pastel colors in soft fabrics such as cashmere will come up. The softness will be combined with a hip looking plaid print with red

and green accents. Don’t think Burberry but a more young stylish print by Tommy Hilfiger or Ralph Lauren.

Expect button-down collars and a chest pocket are for next season’s wardrobe. Completed with a bag from Pal Zeleri, shoes by Brunelli Cuccinelli and a fragrance by Amourage from Dubai will complete the next season’s style.

Styling in is the details: all the buttons on the shirts and jackets in in the shop are made from natural products like wood, seashell and horn. Heiligers and Hoed proves it is a store for men who combine their exclusive taste in clothing and have outstanding feel for quality.

Fheonna van der Helm Author: Okkie Ooms

A popular Scandinavian saying is ‘Fields have eyes and woods have ears’. If you have to choose between not hearing anything or not able to see, what would you pick?

This is actually a really tough one; I’m a big fan of music. I can’t live without a day of good music, especially in the morning when I’m moody and I have to wake up. I can’t imagine not hearing people’s jokes, or having serious conversations.

But sometimes it’s better to hear nothing, so you don’t have to listen to rubbish that people are saying. And I couldn’t live as a blind, that’s for sure.

Because I do a lot of graphic work I wont be able to do what I like the most. So if I have to choose, I rather be deaf than blind.

my home city, Arnhem, not too long ago. I love to sniff around in that place.

Do you go often to the woods?

Not really as much as I want because I live in Rotterdam right now. Sometimes I miss nature and the woods. It’s a good place to think and get some inspiration. It calms me down, I love the smell of trees.

What is so special about the material wood in nowadays designs?

I have this really beautiful jewelry box that I got when my grandma passed away last year. She is fully Malaysian and she always lived over there.

This box always stood in her bedroom; she kept all of her gold charms and earrings in it. The box is handmade and covered with ornaments, its typical Malaysian. It looks a bit kitsch but I love it, not only because I got it from my grandma but also because its pure craftsmanship.

The good thing is that wood is a material that is incredibly versatile. The options that you can do with that material are endless. Now days in design it’s used as clean, innovating material. Most of the time it is vintage wood (re-used) or light clean wood. Because the material has such a big history in so many cultures around the world, it’s good to see that this ‘old - fashioned’ material is been used in modern design objects. So this mixes between traditional material and new concepts in design. I think it’s also interesting how the wood can be shaped in different forms and shapes.

What is your favorite spot to buy your wooden toys/items?

Would you prefer a wooden doll or wooden puzzle?

What is you’re favorite wooden item?

I’m a big fan of Tiger store; this is originally a Danish store full of cute stuff like stationary, mugs and cups, puzzles and toys. This store was introduced

I guess I’ll go for the puzzle; I used to play a lot with those when I was little. But I still like the movie Pinocchio.

A Bite of Sweden Fika means a Swedish coffee break, usually involving a little snack. This cute cafe/restaurant located on Brick Lane in Shoreditch, is a great place to stop by when you’re on your way to the Spitafield markets.

Author: Okkie Ooms

When you step into Fika you‘ll notice straight away that the interior is well thought out. It has a recognizable Scandinavian vibe and a playful and unusual interior; on the walls a couple of reindeer skulls decked out with pearls; astroturf cut into the shape of a reindeer. But one aspect is prominent: the usage of wood in this beautiful place.

The store front and most of the interior of Fika is covered with a light oak. But there is more: even the menus are made of dark wood and some of the walls are made of different types of mainly re-used wood. The variation is endless but it still matches great together. The place has a bit of an minimalistic, shabby- chic (re-used wood

and old school chairs) charisma with some ironic twists.

The other great thing about this cafe is that the owners made some room for some great artworks and new upcoming talent. One of this group of talent is Dani, (from danisdrawings. com) this talented graduated illustration student made some work especially for ‘ Fika”. The whole style of her illustrations fits excellent in the place. It has the wooden/Scandinavian style but also a funny twist, which makes the place more relaxed and more like a stylish hang out.

Let’s not forget the food shall we? It’s still a cafe and restaurant after all. The place is definatly good for a coffee break, or a typical Swedish dish like cin-

namon rolls, Swedish meatballs and blueberry lamb. The menu had a lot to choose from. The dishes are stylish and de mugs are cute, also the food is nice and fresh, pure ingredients, just like the woods in Sweden. But the atmosphere is the main reason why you should stop here, if you’re in Shoreditch. The whole place gets you straight away in a Swedish vibe. And the interior is worth having a look.

The wooden details, the fancy artworks and design objects are something you see rarely in this creative combination.

Shoreditch is one of the most cultural and artistic neighborhoods in London. And ‘Fika’ fits right into that image that we have of Shoreditch.

Willem Wits Author: Lauranne Cox

What is the most beautiful line of poetry or literature that you know by heart?

Difficult question, the one that I do know is a funny, little, surrealist poem by Jan Hanlo: The Sparrow. It goes: Chirp chirp - chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp etc. [transl. James Brockway]

Are notebooks still practical in these days of digitalisation?

Although my app on my IPhone has a terrible interface, it still beats the paper [Moleskin] notebooks. I literally have boxes stuffed of those, but they never come with a search bar. So the paper version doesn’t really work for me now. Also, my scribbled notes usually don’t survive a laundry course or get lost in some way or other.

Is there a brand type of notebook you used to use? And for what purpose?

Not a specific kind of brand, just anything I could get hold of and fits in your pocket. I write down nearly everything. I do need that because I have a terrible memory.

What are you working on at the moment? Could you tell us about what you will be doing in 2012?

There are three projects that I am working on simultaneously. I am in the midst of an art project that consists of a novel and a solo music album

that I have written en co-produced. My musical background is percussion. I don’t want to convey too much beforehand on this project.Then, at the end of January I will be touring the theatres as a percussionist with Herman van Veen’s band until the end of May. I am really looking forward to this. We’ll be stopping Rotterdam as well [16-31 March, Luxor Theatre]. And I also play the drums once in a while in this new band, AllesBehalve, which I think will be the surprise of 2012. We play theatrical, edgy pop music with absurdist lyrics.

Is there a book that has you hooked at the moment?

The two books that provide inspiration at the moment are Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Unconsoled.

It has some Kafkaesque weirdness; the story is based around a pianist who struggles with his sense reality. Other than that, I love Salammbô

by Gustave Flaubert, an historic fiction that is set in Carthage in the third century B.C. Flaubert has the best rhythmic and poetic phrasing and really draws you into the story.

Is there anyone you would like to write?

Yes, actually, I have had the idea now for a while to write every household in the Netherlands.

The idea is to write everyone a beautiful, official letter, with the kind request to at a given time all simultaneously kick the kitchen table.

Ahmet Steltman Author: Lauranne Cox What or who is your favourite subject to photograph?

My main subject is the fashion doll. I have been collecting dolls, since I was young and with photography I able to convey this obsession. What I like so much about them is their blank identity, which I get to fill in. For some people a doll is just a thing to dress up, but for me it is a personage, a friend and they even have names and nicknames.

The doll that I am holding now is Sasha, her nickname is Bunny Boo, her best friend is Jade. She loves to wear gold, wears weaves; she is like Beyonce. I even buy them extra stuff, like new hair or clothes once in a while.

Is the craft of photography still relevant this age of increasing demand of 3d, interactivity and fashion films?

If a photograph is just a still moment in time, what would people’s impression be of you, if they were to meet you for the first time?

If you never were to take a photograph again, what would you do?

That is tricky, because I’m not a mind reader. I guess they think I am a quiet person, keeping myself to myself. I hope they see that I am doing my photography with a great deal of passion.

As a photographer, do you automatically look for beautiful people and things that are ‘easy on the eye’ and harmony in your everyday life?

I have to, because I don’t like the reality of everyday life, which is for everyone to perceive. I like illusion and surrealism, creating images that no one could think of on their own. I do think my inspiration comes from a place in reality and it’s usually a feeling, not a thing or person.

Maybe that is why I like dolls: they are lifelike, but have unreal proportions.

I think it is an interesting evolution of which the root is photography. I am not worried for my job; photography is definitely still relevant, even so in the case of moving imagery, because you are involved with framing, a set-up and story line. Photography is still an interesting practice, just look at sudden uprise of analogue photography and the influence of digital photography.

There is enough to choose from for any beginner, so it really depends on your own taste.

If I would be physically incapable of taking photographs, I’d seek someone else to make my vision reality. But I do see myself doing other things than just photography, it is just a means to communicate; I would also like to do film or sculpture, inspired by dolls.

Who, in your opinion, deserves to be on a cover of a magazine?

Sasha and Jade, my fashion dolls. They are my muses at the moment. Sasha is a miniature Beyonce, loves the gold, has big, curly hair and weaves and sexy outfits. Jade is my Asian girl, experiments with fashion, a little like the Japanese singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu of whom I am a big fan.

Old Paris in Rotterdam Dorian took up a cultural invite and visited an exposition on Eugène Atget in Rotterdam Author: Lauranne Cox

Whoever wants to revisit the more intimate feel of Old Paris, before architect Hausmann implemented a modern sweep of urban planning through the city of Paris, should have a look at Rotterdam Photo museum’s thorough exposition on Eugène Atget. In the course of late 19th and first decade of the 20th century Atget managed to document the streets of Paris in 10.000 prints.

In our age of photo snaps and Photoshop, it turns out to be actually refreshing to have look at Atget’s painstakingly technique and yet simple capturing of his subjects. Atget used a bellow camera and developed his photos with glass plates in the day-

light on his balcony.

In a quick overview, the exposition seems a bit lifeless: plain series of doorknobs, shopping windows, bridges, rarely any people; Benjamin Walter once described them as “crime scenes”. But there is more than meets the eye. These series are merely observations of places that were about to disappear, making each frame of incredible historic value. Paris in the Finde-Siecle, was already in a state of change when Atget tuned from acting to photography. Atget’s work turned commercially viable later in his life, but would only after his death be credited as the founders of documentary photography. Nevertheless, his

work influenced the surrealists of his day: artists like Breton and Man Ray bought his work, before the Parisians fell in love with it. Man Ray supposedly found the emptiness in the work evoking.

The 220 portraits shown at the photo museum may not affect you immediately; it takes a bit of background information to learn of the context of his work.

But when you do, and this is provided by the screening of a documentary on Atget’s American patroness and photographer Berendice Abbot, you might be might be just as inspired to dust of your analogue camera.
