    I’m very happy to be able to share the latest entry in my “Cafe Pause Poster Series” (#5), a contribution by Amsterdam-based art director Luis Mendo.

    I’m sad I had to miss out on the festivities for the launch of the fourth issue of the excellent interior magazine Apartamento here in Tokyo last week. The magazine teamed up with Utrecht — at the NOW IDeA by Utrecht shop — and created a temporary cafe (one of the chef’s for the week…

    If you’ve been to PauseTalk, then there’s a good chance you know Joseph Keenan. Probably the person outside of me who has attended the most sessions, it’s been a joy all these years to have him attend — and yes, he became a very good friend as well — and it’s with sadness that we…

    How strange: the beautiful teahouse and sweets shop in Nakameguro Higashiya is about to close its doors (not sure on the date, but soon), yet it gets a “recommendation” post on Cool Hunting, with no mention of said closing.

    Looking for an architect? Then head on down to the Architect Cafe, where you can meet with architects and discuss projects. According to Spoon & Tamago, “they have an extensive database of architects that you can sweep through by name or by portfolio, and decide on a style you like.” There are currently two locations,…

    The “Little Pink” exhibition — read about it here — is now on at Cafe Pause, and runs until Sunday (April 26). Update: Looks like we’re going to have a reception tomorrow night (Thursday, April 23) at the cafe with Shantell and Gelman for the show. I’ll post more details soon, but please join us…

    I stopped a while back to do those regular magazine round-up posts — it was a bit too time consuming to take all those notes and then put them together in a post — but I do still regularly pick up new magazines for Cafe Pause, and here’s a list of the latest bunch. Re:S…
