Soli

Let's meet Ali, one half of Dükkan. He's the go-to person for DIY and kitchen tools. Lives and works between Shoreditch and Notting Hill.

The other half of Dükkan, Mustafa, or just Mus for short. For him, the neighborhood means childhood and familiar faces. To find him in the neighborhood, just follow the smell of barbecue.

Those who set up the tables we've missed, turning distant homes into their own "dükkans" with shared longings and the universal language of food. Ali and Mustafa's Dükkan in London tells a tale of migration, cuisine, and community.

Meet Utkan, or "Utki" as friends call him; a dynamic interior designer and a communicator at heart. A tourist outside Europe, a local in Istanbul, yet he's never felt like an outsider anywhere.

We delve into Milan's human-scaled neighborhoods with Utkan, discussing the city's design culture and more during the design week.

A.k.a. "Dero," the architectural consultant from Porta Venezia, with a heart split between Lisbon and Istanbul.

We're tuning into the beat of the Milan we know and the Milan we rediscover with every visit, all from the perspective of a local.

From Istanbul to London, Milan, and beyond the Venetian vistas; notes from our journey stretching from April into May.

New York's Vision Zero plan, new museums in Istanbul and Ayvalık, the long-awaited metro network in Thessaloniki, the art scene in the city and London, openings, and more.
