Last weekend my dear friends of Kitchen Guerilla finally had their first public event in my home town – Düsseldorf. And a pretty great one: beer and sausage – a delicious and perfectly fitting combination. It was called Wurstgalerie – translated “sausage gallery” – and was sponsored by Pilsner Urquell. As you can imagine they […]
There is a project of mine that I am really passionate about. It combines my past with my current interest. In my neighborhood is a little shed which used to be a kiosk. It is placed very near to my old school. Sometimes we used to buy some sweets called “gemischte Tüte” – which is […]
In Istanbul I fell in love with Mezze – /ˈmɛzeɪ/ – the Middle Eastern version of tapas. Small delicacies – warm, cold, meat, fish, vegetarian… Last November my girlfriend and I flew to Istanbul – an amazing city. If you haven’t been there yet, you should go.

He recently founded the design studio We Are Fellows together with Andreas Lexa, aka Frontplayer. I am totally impressed […]
Two weeks ago I was once again invited by Mercedes. You might ask yourself why I always do that? Because it’s freakin’ awesome (and interesting). Since my first impression in April 2010 my picture of Mercedes-Benz didn’t loose a tiny bit of glance. The events are always perfectly organized and I always feel more than […]
