I met Flavia at Ginette, one of the more refined coffee places in Gemmayze, a neighborhood of Beirut. She strode in carrying her motorcycle helmet, and I could still feel the wind in her long dark hair.

On my way from Paris to Casablanca, I checked to see what art shows were happening around. I found one that looked interesting: an original exhibition of work… 

Just before inviting Arnaud, founder of a Paris-based digital publishing studio Poésies Industrielles, to be our special guest at the Paris eLounge, I met him in his studio to talk about his work, creativity and life in general… Arnaud had a very diverse carrier before he started his studio.

I had a wonderful opportunity to spend an afternoon with the Lithuanian graphic artist Ausra Capskyte. She works and lives in Lithuania’s capital Vilnius.

As most of you already know, we’ve decided to spice up our Paris eLounge get-togethers a little bit. After three years, one definitely is ready for some change :). François and I, we’ve been thinking about the best direction into which the events could grow for a long time. Change for the sake of change…

I met Neima around 4 years ago in London by accident (as usual :))… Shining with openness, enthusiasm and energy she right away made me want to get to know her better. I was lucky enough to have had this opportunity and was both enthused and inspired by her decision to follow her passion by…
