If you ever go to Paris
I had the pleasure of spending this weekend with my girlfriend and some friends in Paris and on Saturday we had dinner reservations on Derriére.
A hyped up restaurant that seems like a giant apartment. The downstairs for example has a ping pong table that guests can play on between courses, an office where you struggle to eat between stacks of paper, a living room perfect for a TV dinner and so on. You really get the feeling of being in someone’s home and it gets even cosier when you go upstairs. Here you can be seated in the bedroom or in the dressing room. We got the seated in the bedroom, so 3 of us had to sit in the bed with a nicely done mirror ceiling above us.
But that’s not all. Because the French has a non smoking policy in public areas the Derriére has created a secret space for the smokers in the restaurant. You are told that if you want to smoke, go through the closet (above). Through the closet a big cosy secret smoking area would be found as you can see n the following pictures.
As the evening progressed it seemed more and more like a big house party and every single room had it’s own stereo so the guests in the room could decide how loud they wanted to party – our party ended with jumping in the bed and loud music. Just to wrap it up, the food is good, the price is reasonable, the atmosphere is superb and you should definitely go if you’re looking for something extraordinary in Paris. More pictures after the jump.

An old project I did in the Danish fashion store Storm with a good friend of mine John Sebastian, just got featured at Behance. You should go check it out and of course give it lots of thumbs up.
Martin Margiela Paint Sneaker
Martin Margiela once again manages to draw some attention with this new paint sneaker. The low top German army inspired sneaker comes in beige with white paint poured over it. Love the fact that you don’t need lacing in his sneaks.

Dazzle Camouflage
Focus on confusing the submarines so they don’t know where you’re going. This is WW1 and that’s what these geometric shapes and bright loud colours did. The inventor of the Dazzle camouflage was Norman Wilkinson. Since the photo’s are from early 1900 there’s little colours on the pictures, but you can see some sketches after the jump. I think it looks amazing. Continue reading …
