SushiTa Restaurant
SushiTa entrusts Solodesign to design its new restaurant in Ancona (Italy). Using natural and eco-friendly materials.
The kaiten is a moving ribbon bringing dishes made by the Japanese chef and is the focus point of the room. It is enlighted by an installation made by a rain of wooden pendants from the ceiling thus highlighting its sinuous path and both projecting evocative lights and shadow plays in the meantime.
Room’ s bottom wall portrays a koi carp, raising sun iconography’ s traditional symbol, but it’ s molded with a tipiccally European pattern, as to synthesize the project’ s essence: the meeting of two cultures – East and West.
Lighting has been designed in collaboration with light designer Stefano Dall’ Osso using last generation energy saving technologies with a domotic control system so to create different backgrounds.

Masafumi Watanabe of Bedwin & The Heartbreakers – My 5 Favorite Tokyo Food Spots
Highsnobiety Travel Series –
KAN
Tokyo, Meguro-ku, Higashiyama 2-1-1
Kan is a modern japanese Izakaya in a sophisticated setting. The long counter-table make it interesting to interact with the chef and witness the whole cooking process. It’s one of my favorite restaurant for a dinner with clients or friends.
GANTAN
Tokyo, Meguro-ku, Higashiyama 1-8-6 #109
This upscale Izakaya offers a great dinning experience with possibility to book one of their few private rooms for an intimate dinner with a small group of friends or out-of-town guest. I particularly recommend their sashimi and the off-menu Soba.
AFURI
Tokyo, Shibuya-ku, Sendagaya 3-63-1
AFURI ramen has quickly become one of the best ramen shop in town. The Harajuku branch is definitely my go-to spot for a quick noodle fix. I usually order the seasonal AFURI’s suggestion, their Yuzu-style ramen is perfect for a hot Tokyo summer night.
KANTERA
Tokyo, Setagaya-ku, Daizawa 3-12-26
Kantera is my favorite Korean BBQ restaurant here in Tokyo. It’s a bit of a drive from Shibuya but definitely worth the ride. Kantera offers a great selection of Wagyu beef and I particularly enjoy their boneless short ribs. The restaurant itself is very well-designed and they also have a nice patio with outdoor tables.
Cent-Trente-Neuf
Tokyo, Shibuya-ku, Udagawacho 11-2
French food and jazz music! The oversized Niçoise salad are very good and their Plat du Jour selection is always on point. Perfect for a lunch near my office.

Nero Motorcycle by Bandit9
The Nero by Bandit 9 Motorcycles takes the classic BMW Chang Jiang 750 motorcycle to a whole new level. A matte black finish covers every inch of this refurbished road cruising machine. An almost completely level streamline from handlebars to tail fender contributes to the elongated aesthetic of this high-end cruiser.

Cherchbi Herdwyck No.10 Tweed Bag Collection
Cherchbi began in 2007 with an idea to make bags using wool from the ancient rare-breed Herdwyck. Four years in development the Herdwyck No.10 Tweed Collection launched for Fall/Winter 2012 at Dover Street Market. All bags are bench-made entirely in England to their robust, traditional quality standard. They combine waterproof, Herdwyck No. 10 tweed with their own British saddle leather and utilise traditional leatherwork and saddlery techniques.
Furthermore Cherchbi adds Tamasyn Gambell‘s print designs to the tweed, yet another beautiful and unique detail. The collection includes a tote bag, a weekender and a rucksack. We cannot choose a favorite, as they all look beautiful and while standing out of the crowd, are all timeless pieces that will wear in nicely and look better season after season.

Underground Zero-Carbon Eco Home
Do you know what your carbon footprint is? It is nearly impossible for any person, let alone an entire energy-consuming home, to have a carbon-neutral footprint, but an underground one-story home in England is looking to change that. Architectural firm Make’s ambitious project titled Bolton Eco House boasts a zero-carbon estate, the first of its kind in the North West of the country, embedded into the Pennine hillside. The 8,000-square-foot property features four bedrooms with energy-saving designs and technology including “a ground source heat pump, photovoltaic panels and a wind turbine that will generate on-site renewable energy.”
The architects have worked closely with Bolton Council, Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE), and their client, Gary Neville (former club captain of Manchester United), to bring this futuristic energy-efficient design to fruition. The architectural integrity has been preserved throughout the approximately three-year process of designing the subterranean homestead, while accommodating for a residential and environmental issues. Its placement below the surface is a deliberate scheme to maintain the surrounding moorland’s natural aesthetic. With so many redeeming qualities, some refer to this home as the “house of the future.”

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee
Jerry Seinfeld’s new show ‘Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee’ is a very simple idea – Jerry Seinfeld picks up a comedian friend in one of his personal vintage cars, and they get some coffee. Simple enough. But what’s great about it, is how personal it feels between Jerry and his comedian friend. Expect to see big names such as Ricky Gervais, Larry David, Alec Baldwin, Brian Regan and more.
