There is a new magazine out there and this one should be added to your subscribe list. OPENHOUSE Magazine is a twice yearly publication, that looks to bright, creative people from around the world, that open their homes or their private spaces to the public, to make different activities about gastronomy, art and design. In the current issue we talk to Jermome Waag, head chef at Chez Panisse, about what he likes to cook at home for his friends in his time off. In a small village in the italian countryside, Attillio and Paola live in the old Cinema Flora, and regularly open their doors for film nights. We take a peek into the Freunde von Freunden Apartment in Berlin, that takes shape as an office, event space and a cosy apartment for occasional overnight guests. Amaryllis Jacobs has made her wonderful home in Brussels into a twice yearly gallery space, Maniera, for architect designed pieces…..among others. I especially love this first loft space – the plant filled TV hang out space is amazing!!! I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy. Definitively one to leave out on the coffee table.

Jared Hayden says:
Inviting, compelling and livable spaces. I still can't fully accept the resurgence of houseplants though. Maybe I'll get there, but I fear macrame and Marimekko prints will be next.
Blanders says:
That leafy green TV jungle/grotto is amazing! That whole loft is my perfect abode.
Axie says:
Looks like an interesting, creative home. But I love that TV jungle room too- I do find the people all lined up watching the big screen a little odd though..
Jared, you made me laugh out loud!
