Light is essential for all of us, also indoor light. So how do you light up a room? Perhaps you, like many others, buy a lamp because ”it looks nice” or ”it fits perfectly with the rest of my furniture” or simply just because of the price tag? Vetro from Rikke Frost
The business of relationships
Which came first – the chicken or the egg? That’s an ages old philosophical question. The same can be asked about personal relationships and business relationships. The way people arrange who they spend time with parallels how companies structure their manner of doing business. This is not to suggest that people enter relationships strictly as […]

Breakfast special
First post of 2014, so I’ll start at the beginning. Breakfast! For a CLEW team breakfast, I took along fig bircher muesli, which is easily and – more importantly – quickly thrown together the night before, ready to be spooned into bowls the next morning.

What about those e-cigarettes?
I was certainly celebrating on New Year’s Eve this year, and not just to welcome in the New Year for the usual reasons. Finally, finally, Luxembourg has caught up with much of the rest of Europe. From the 1st January, we will be able to go to a bar for a drink without coming out […]
