Traveling to London for the Future laboratory is always a treat. It's in one way a oxygen hurricane to work with trend wise, and the fact that the seminar takes place in London city is the bonus.
This time we had our future bath in Tate Modern. Great.
More on some later Squid Stories posts this week.
First stop: Ghent-Brussels.
A snowy, poetic landscape-an early mornin' sunrise.
A quick Instagram snap, and loads of likes....
Another.
See beauty in simple things: the toilet doors at Brussels -Midi Eurostar coffee bar.
More beauty, just sleeping on the train, on her way to London, just like us.
This book deserves my attention, so told me Mark. So it will.
It's called "Deserved attention". It better.
Not for now, I'll take it with me on holiday. Later.
The ZZZZ Zetter room. I know this place since we came here when I worked for Creneau (we had an office and a shop 'All Popstars Welcome' in this neighborhood.) Later I came back working for Coke with Naked Agency ( hi Tom, Hi Anders). Good times, and a hip sleep around the corner.
My room for tonight: 4 windows (!!!), center Clerkenwell.
Great, great view. All you need and a homy feel. They serve great cocktails downstairs too.
Another pic for the Instagram friends, so they know what room number to ask go next time they visit London.(Room 321)
Zetter is not hard to find back at night.
We ate just around the corner + 3 streets at Casa Moro. Surprising and very tasty Moroccan-Spanish fusion food in a busy cosmopolitan setting. Not posh, just London creative crowd.
34-36 Exmouth Market
London EC1R 4QE

No, this is not Moro food, this is the famous Zetter 'eggs Benedict': smoked salmon, poached eggs, sauce Hollandaise and some advocate. No bread needed.
And this lovely plate is the Zetter fruit breakfast. A part of it.
They say to share stuff, you have to live real experiences.
And to encourage some nice ones, some people help this reality a hand, by, for instance, placing a perfect tuned piano, in the hall way of Saint Pancras station.
And then, wait and see what happens, who takes the stand and moves the people.
This unknown guy did. Nobody knew who he was, but man, what an artist! He played an entire concerto, without any papers, focused on his music, and making everyone of us somehow a little happier.
After his concerto, he took his backpack and mingled with the crowd. No brands behind this, no stunt, no 'pop up flash mob, just a guy playing for fun, to get some extra exercise?
Let's keep it a secret. We enjoyed him. Thanks dude.
Not just fancy hipster street corners, but everyones lunch or snack is now straight from the UK farmers. Check it out, it's a pure and simple evolution.
Hear you next time, for some more London Future lab news.
I'm leaving for Milan tomorrow, checking out the Milan Salone di Mobile.
Keep in touch!
