This Valentine’s Day, we celebrate our close collaborators. Nominee JR, with a cardboard cutout of Agnès Varda, posed for a portrait at this year’s Oscars Lunch.
We also celebrate friendship. Here, a portrait of Oscar nominees Paul Thomas Anderson and Steven Spielberg, also from this year’s Nomination Luncheon.
And of course we celebrate love. Nominees Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani stopped by our Noms Lunch portrait booth.
Located in Iasi, Romania, Oddity Bar resembles an antiquated atelier where a charmingly rusty wooden bar takes the place of the workbench and tool racks are overflowing with shiny glasses and bottles.
The design, envisioned by local architecture firm aPunct, is a weird and wonderful mishmash of recycled objects and time-worn textures that somehow weave together to create a coherent, visually stimulating space.
Objects are given new life and meaning, and a few unexpected details here and there add to the venue’s unique character – a salvaged surgical lamp looms above the bar, an old pommel horse serves as seating, and a couple of distorted mirrors hang on the crumbling walls, playing with your mind and your perception of reality. Expect a cool, relaxed vibe complemented by superb cocktails and excellent music.

Move over, cylindrical water bottles! Memobottle is a slim, sustainable water container designed to resemble a thin piece of paper.
Started by two childhood best friends based in Melbourne and San Diego, the main idea behind the product was to come up with an eco-friendly alternative to harmful single-use plastic bottles; the result is all that and more - a beautiful, revolutionary water bottle, whose unique flat rectangular shape allows you to seamlessly slide it into your carry bag alongside your laptop, books, and documents.
Memobottle is constructed from durable BPA-free Tritan and comes in four forms: A5, A6, A7, and slim.
