Iker
février 17, 2026

There is a particular clarity to the Atomium this year. Not nostalgia. Not spectacle. A sharpened presence. Twenty years after its reopening in 2006, the building marks its renovation not with a retrospective, but with activation. The anniversary programming makes...

A Valentine’s Day Kept Simple

Iker
février 10, 2026

Iker

KOL, At the Table with Santiago Lastra

Iker
février 3, 2026

Dinner at KOL begins with a shift in pace. From Seymour Street in London, the transition is quiet and deliberate. Inside, the dining room settles around a central kitchen, warm in tone and measured in movement. Clay, wood, leather. Nothing...

Iker
janvier 26, 2026

Paradise City does not arrive all at once. It starts with a list. Twenty six names released early, read slowly, saved, shared, discussed. The festival takes shape before summer through recognition. You know some immediately. Others take time. Together, they...

Hotel Molitor: By the Water, Love Slows Down

Iker
janvier 13, 2026

Saint Valentine’s Day says less about romance than about choice. It reflects how people decide to spend their time, what they protect for an evening, sometimes longer. At Hôtel Molitor, nothing is designed to impress on command. The experience unfolds...

A Valentine’s Day Lived the Villebrequin Way

Iker
janvier 11, 2026

Valentine’s Day does not need emphasis. It works better when it feels lived in rather than planned. Villebrequin approaches it this way, through time spent near the water and choices that favour ease over display. The brand has always been...
