Field Study Coffee, tucked inside Car Part Time, serious about the coffee, serious about the cars.

The kind of cup from people who truly care about the bean. All of it served in a room where vintage cars are parked like sculptures (that red Alfa, the Lancia Delta Integrale), and where the owner sometimes flips the whole space into a listening session.

Caffeine, cars, and music in one address. Have you been?

Notes from @rimadesio_newyork

Italian minimalism at its most disciplined. Modular shelving styled like a library, a home office in taupe and cane, and walk-in closets where even the shoe display feels composed.

Storage as an art form. The evening ended with cocktails among the cabinetry.

Your take: open shelving styled to perfection, or doors closed and mystery kept?

Athens is one of the most fascinating cities I’ve ever visited. Every time I return, it feels like I’m discovering it for the first time.

Few places combine such a rich mix of design, architecture, history, food, and culture. Ancient ruins stand alongside contemporary creativity, the food is endlessly fresh and delicious, the landscapes are stunning, and there’s always something new to explore.

Yet so many people rush through Athens on their way to the islands. In my opinion, that’s a mistake. Athens isn’t just a stopover, it’s a destination in its own right.

A beautifully curated concept store where design, craftsmanship, scent, and food come together. One of those places that makes you want to redesign your entire home. @10amapotheke

Outstanding food, an incredible natural wine list, and a listening-bar atmosphere that makes you want to stay all night.

A stylish spot that works equally well for coffee, brunch, lunch, drink or dinner in the heart of the city.

Contemporary Athens at its best. Renzo Piano architecture, gardens, cultural programming, and some of the most beautiful views in the city.

4 floors of art, 2 floors of the original interiors of Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghika. Designed by the architect Kostas Kitsikis, a professor at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), it is a typical example of an interwar apartment block.

A small contemporary art gallery with thoughtful exhibitions and a strong connection to the Greek art scene.

One of the most spectacular performance venues in the world. An ancient stone theater at the foot of the Acropolis that still hosts concerts and performances today.

Obviously. An absolute must. More than 2,000 years later, it’s still one of the most breathtaking architectural achievements in the world.

The kind of neighborhood bar that makes Athens feel effortlessly cool. Perfect for a drink and people-watching.

Why wouldn’t you go to @gagosian if there’s one in Athens?

Hidden paradise surrounded by rocks.

Go at night for a drink or during the day to swim and cool off.

The food, the drinks, the people, the view…I love.

After living in Paris for 11 years, I’ve collected a long list of favorite places, but these are the ones I keep returning to for design inspiration.

From iconic architecture and hidden galleries to bookstores, cafés, boutiques, and restaurants, these addresses capture the side of Paris I love most.

What Paris address would you add to this list?

“I don’t believe architecture has to speak too much. It should remain silent and let nature in the guise of sunlight and wind.” Luis Barragán taken in Luis Barragán House and Studio by @esthergruner

Every city tells a different design story.

In Mexico City, I found bold modernism, vibrant colors, incredible craftsmanship, and some of the most inspiring spaces I’ve visited.

Here are my favorite places, from restaurants and bars to museums, galleries, and architectural landmarks, for anyone who loves design as much as I do. #cdmx #mexicocitydesign #designlovers #mexicocitycurated taken in Mexico City by @esthergruner
