Legatoria Piazzesi (Piazzesi Bookbindery)
Campiello della Feltrina, San Marco
Venice, September 2013

“Piazzesi Bookbindery was born in Venice in 1851. No other similar enterprise is known at the time or before Piazzesi’s start in the Western World. Piazzesi is now renovating itself, in order to keep up with the times, but it’s not changing, remaining in the same place where it was founded over 145 years ago, and keeping its unique atmosphere, full of history, culture, elegance, simplicity, refinement, genuinity. It’s inimitable and bound to last in time, because of the total superiority of the quality of its well known products and the matchless spirit that moves it and marks it.” (The Piazzesi Bookbindery is the First ‘Paper Shop’ in Europe, Antica Legatoria Piazzesi)

Hotel Jeanne d’Arc

Hôtel Jeanne d'Arc
Rue de Jarente, Le Marais
Quartier Saint-Gervais, 4th arrondissement
Paris, July 2012

“About the only thing wrong with this gorgeous address is that everyone knows about it, meaning you need to book well in advance to snag one of its cosy, excellent value rooms. Games to play, a painted rocking chair for tots in the bijou lounge, knick knacks everywhere and the most extraordinary mirror in the breakfast room create a real ‘family home’ air to this 35-room house. The pièce de résistance: the 6th-floor attic room with sweeping, Paris rooftop view.” (Hôtel Jeanne d’Arc, Lonely Planet)

Campiello del Remer

Campiello del Remer
Cannaregio
Venice, September 2013

“The Campiello del Remer is tucked away, right off of a main walking street. It’s not easy to find the first time, but worth it once you get there. An old carved stone well sits in the center of the campiello, with doors to private residences/rentals, a guesthouse and the Taverna al Remer.” (Our beloved Campiello del Remer, Nosy Parker)

The Enterprise

Red Lion Street, Holborn
London, October 2009

“This is a sign for a pub in Red Lion Street, Holborn, London. The pub is named after a 19th century sailing ship that travelled to the Arctic in search of the missing explorer Sir John Franklin in 1852. The mosaic shows the ship in full sail watched by a polar bear on a floating iceberg.” (The Enterprise, Tessa Hunkin, Mosaic and Electronic Crafts)
