Hamburg // A Creative City

It’s all there, but this city is revealed best when taking time, wandering or biking in the quarters next to the Altstadt or Neustadt. Favourites are Schanzen- & Karolinenviertel and St. Georg.

Put your sunglasses and walking shoes on, or your highest heels if you want to be Italian ‘in cognito’. Sharing some of the places we spotted in Milan this November…

Move and Work by Malene Birger

By

Sharing with you a great book as a source of inspiration on a great work- and lifestyle; Move and Work by Malene Birger. It’s one of my Copenhagen trophees and I use it as an inspiration for my house and workspace, but foremost, it feeds my dreams… And although you might travel a lot or move around, isn’t there always a reason to create a home away from home?
