For CEDRIC Grolet, the purpose of pastry is simple:
To create joy.
Great creative work always connects to how people feel.
ON MY RADAR - THE experiential dinner - a rising trend in the brand world. event by april events for mango | photo VIA cuatro / cuartos communications
We’re watching brands move away from performance
and toward presence.
Not louder.
Closer.
The experiential dinner is less about hosting
and more about holding a point of view—
in real time, with real people.
A table becomes a medium.
For taste.
For conversation.
For identity.
Because when something is felt—
not just seen—
it stays.

Art galleries aren’t just about the art.
They’re about the architecture that holds it.
The quiet rooms.
The light.
The silence.
The sculptures out front
that greet you before you even step inside.
The way the exhibits are curated.
One piece leading you to another
like a conversation unfolding.
The people watching.
The way people seem to match
the art they’re standing near.
That strange moment
when living people stand beside painted ones
and you wonder about their lives —
then and now.
Two different realities
held in the same frame.
A reminder that somewhere in the world,
someone is spending their days
simply creating.
The way the gallery itself becomes a canvas
in the photographs you take.
The compositions you find.
The moments you capture.
Art within art.
And every once in a while,
you find a piece of yourself in the work.
Maybe that’s the real reason we go.
To remember what it feels like to see again.
To be present.
To find ourselves.

CREATIVE EXPANSION: THE FRED AGAIN.. SET FEATURING AN ART INSTALLATION BY BORIS ACKET | PHOTO VIA BORIS ACKET
How do you make a DJ set about more than just the music?
How do you expand the experience
without losing what people came for?
Because the music, the crowd, the energy—
that’s expected.
That’s why people buy the ticket.
And most DJ sets deliver exactly that.
Same structure.
Same format.
Nothing that stays with you after.
So the question becomes:
What gives the experience form?
Fred again.. × Boris Acket answered that by giving the music a body.
By turning light into architecture—
and the set into something you could step inside.
You’re no longer just listening.
You’re inside a world.
And that’s the shift worth paying attention to:
When sound becomes spatial,
the experience becomes unforgettable.

Study outside your domain.
If you work in fashion, study sculpture.
If you work in interiors, study film.
If you work in architecture, study painting.
Creative language expands when you step outside your field.
Every discipline solves creative problems differently.
Painters think in colour and emotion.
Architects think in structure and proportion.
Filmmakers think in atmosphere and narrative.
When you study other art forms, you begin to see design differently.
A sculpture becomes a lesson in form.
A film becomes a lesson in mood.
A painting becomes a lesson in composition.
Suddenly your references expand.
Great designers are often great observers of the wider creative world.
Creativity grows when curiosity leads the process.
The wider your influences,
the more original your work becomes.

WHERE IN YOUR WORK ARE YOU PLAYING TOO SAFE?

What would it feel like to live this immersed in art and craft?
Something shifts at the future perfect.
You begin to see what’s possible.
Someone real created this world—
and it extends far beyond material objects.
It’s a celebration of art.
And of the people bold enough to create it.
You find yourself wanting to linger
in the presence of that possibility.
To feel more alive.
To slow down.
To look closer.
And somewhere along the way,
your taste shifts.
Not toward more—
but toward something more meaningful.
A life you curate, piece by piece—
over time, evolving.
Yours.

I don’t travel to big cities to stay in my hotel.
I travel to experience the city —
to spend on interesting experiences,
to see galleries that expand my perspective,
to try restaurants that push me somewhere new.
But where I stay still matters.
I want considered design.
Thoughtful amenities.
A great rooftop restaurant —
and to feel connected to where I am.
This is where The Hoxton always hits the mark.
Not overdone, but nothing feels missed.
The lobby is always alive.
The experience feels local.
The service is down to earth and friendly.
I’ve stayed AT THE HOXTON DTLA twice and AT THE HOXTON Amsterdam CENTRAL.
And each time, it delivers —
considered, approachable, and well executed.
It’s the kind of place I’d look for in any city.
It understands you didn’t come to stay in your hotel.
You came to see the city.
The design feels classic, but playful —
high in quality, without excess.
Layered with just enough warmth and character
that, even in a city that isn’t yours,
it feels like home.
