Melancholic fountain pen and hyper-active lens for Institutional Investor website.

For New York Magazine. In New York, monstera-plant-adorned places are very common and they are usually design-oriented stores or cool membership coworking spaces.

4) Forget glitzy chalets, it’s the family-owned Alpine stopovers that hit the highest heights 
5) “Heise” Japan’s imperial era means “realization of peace” and Emperor Akihito was the ruler of it. he represents compassion, honesty and kindness; he has become the symbol of the nation. But he is due to abdicate at the end of April 2019. Peace!
6) What means “Fog of war” during the Era of Social Media.
