Capturing shots of beautiful seasonal products, passionate chefs and food artisans of all sorts, gorgeous dishes and gatherings is something that makes him truly happy as a photographer. When not shooting, Nico is pulling shots in one of Melbourne’s top cafés, learning the trade of being a barista and hoping to one day open is own specialty coffee joint back home in Paris..

This past summer, five friends went on a back country trip to Fortress Lake at the base of Fortress Mountain in British Columbia. They traveled 15km on bike and 9km hiking (including crossing a big river). They brought all of their food in with them, and came up with a meal plan ahead of time (which required catching fish, and they did) and distributed everything among the bunch. They camped on the beach, cooked on the fire and for a brief half hour in the afternoon, they swam in the ice cold water. For three days, they enjoyed the beauty of their Canadian surroundings and didn’t see another soul.

We are continually inspired by folks that share our appreciation for gatherings around the table, which often goes hand-in-hand with a passion for food, and a natural delight in the people who are behind the food. We’ve found one such kindred spirit in Todd Selby, who recently completed a project profiling a series of people who are both food-lovers and creators of cuisine.

During the first five months of this year, six Finnish design students dreamed up and built a complete pop-up cafeteria, from the cafeteria tent itself, down to the details of the tableware, furniture and uniforms. The café was opened in Helsinki mid-May as a participant of the unique “Restaurant Day” food carnival during which anyone can open up a restaurant on the streets, gardens and homes of Helsinki. Students spend the day serving coffee and traditional Finnish food and photograph all of the designed items as they are used by passers-by.

We're happy to share that our friends at Apolis have designed a new bag they're deeming the Apolis + Kinfolk Garden Bag, inspired by the Kinfolk approach to living. Despite the title, we think it's good for lots of things beyond your forays into the weeds. Use it for an evening picnic, a hike with friends, a farmers' market carryall, or beautiful storage for this or that around the house. Or perhaps it will indeed inspire you to get out your garden trowel and plant some bulbs before winter hits!

I currently live in London in the green Wimbledon Park area. On my days off, I sometimes enjoy walking through Wimbledon Common and Richmond Park, and I once stumbled upon the beautiful Petersham Nurseries, a paradise of flowers, decor and homeware objects, and a retired place where to enjoy a meal or a simple tea and cake surrounded by plants and herbs. The style is shabby chic at times, but never cheesy, and the range of objects in the shop is well conceived, with influences from all over the world.
