07 October 201909 October 2019 PEOPLE, EVENTSUSTA Magazine – The Classic ustamagazyn_admin The autumn issue of the USTA Magazine is already out. Let’s take a look what awaits you inside. Here is some sneak peak. The autumn season puts us in a nostalgic mood. Another summer has passed, the leaves are turning red, conkers and acorns are torpedoing the streets, and we are trying to keep poker faces up against the incoming chills and the looming winter in our beautiful country. At this time of the year, it is good to turn to proven methods of lifting oneself up. The classic forms and flavours. The quality, the elegance, the simplicity. The durability and the chance to rely on the tradition seem especially encouraging in the autumn/winter season. This is why we devoted a lot of attention to Vienna. We paid a visit to the Jarosinski & Vaugoin manufacture, which survived two centuries in the same place in the very heart of the city. We visited cafés and retro bars but we also ventured to discover the new, modern face of the Austrian capital. We also travelled to Miśnia to see ourselves how they create the most renowned porcelain in Europe.
19 August 201902 September 2019 PEOPLE, PLACESTAKING A NEW TURN ustamagazyn_admin Hashtag #vanlife still rules in the social media, especially in the sunny-Californian version. Who would imagine, however, setting on a journey to the distant Japan in a campervan and with three kids?! It turns out this can be a perfect vacation for a family of 5. Here is the proof - the travel journal.
12 August 201920 November 2019 PEOPLE, PLACESA Quest for the Best Pizza ustamagazyn_admin The best pizza in the world! Where on earth!? We travelled in search for it to Naples. We've found it 40 km from the city centre in a tiny village Caiazzo. Each day, crowds are lining in front of Pepe in Grani, dreaming of a slice of margherita or pepperoni. We were lucky enough not only to taste it but also to talk to Pepe Franco, the founder of this place.
09 August 201902 September 2019 PEOPLE, PLACESHope, Passion, and Bauhaus ustamagazyn_admin Do you remember Je Sus restaurant in Poznań, in Toczaka street, which used to serve wonderful, original, plant-based cuisine? We have good news. Je Sus comes back in a new and feminine version as Nadzieja (Eng. Hope). Ewelina Gracz is in charge of the kitchen and Agnieszka Owsiany designed the beautiful, minimalistic interior. We paid a visit to Nadzieja and we met both ladies to learn how this inspiring place was brought to life.
31 July 201926 August 2019 PEOPLE, PLACESWabi Sabi in Poznań’s Jeżyce ustamagazyn_admin A truly remarkable place has opened recently in Poznań. Happa to mame cafe in the district of Jeżyce is wonderfully spacious yet minimalistic. They serve traditional Japanese sweets – all the daifuku, dango and dorayaki are hand-made and home-made. They are accompanied by matcha-based drinks. It would be hard no find another place so thoroughly Japanese in Poland.
03 July 201909 October 2019 PEOPLEA hat with super power ustamagazyn_admin She resigned from designing clothes and instead concentrated on hats, which she finishes herself by hand. She is inspired by the work of Polish and Portuguese artisans. She reactivates the vanishing craft of millinery in her mobile atelier, where she creates beautiful hats that she believes give women superpowers and never go out of fashion. We talk with Alexandra Sulżyńska, founder of the brand Jolie Su.
26 June 201919 July 2019 PEOPLE, PLACES, EVENTSUSTA IN THE SUMMERTIME! Monika Brzywczy We went with Gretkowska to Kutno, we travelled with Waligóra across the Gobi desert, with Ryciak we crossed the ocean without a ticket. With Chrobak, we headed for the unacknowledged countries and we toured Japan in a campervan with Wierzejski. Above all, though, we travelled in search of the meaning of our journeys. And on top of that, in the summer issue of USTA Magazine we prepared a guide to Warsaw – we present you a list of our top 30 places in the capital.
02 April 201911 July 2019 PEOPLEUNFORBIDDEN FRUIT Monika Brzywczy Tempted by the sweet flavours and the vibrant colours, she moved to Bali. Among the fruits of paradise, she found love. Actually, two of them: the juicy durian and Simon, who keeps wandering with her through the jungle in search of fruitarian adventures.
01 February 201912 July 2019 PEOPLE, PLACESMORNING – TIME FOR BREAD AND COFFEE Monika Brzywczy We are in a beautiful, wide space in Stalowa street - one of the prettiest and still underrated streets of Warsaw’s Praga district. We have an impression that Stalowa could equally be located in Berlin’s Neukolln. It is easy to believe, especially when we look at it while drinking a filter coffee and eating a thick slice of fresh bread with country butter from the Rano Bakery (Eng. Morning Bakery), which opened in July.
09 January 201906 August 2020 PEOPLE, EVENTSHIGH TIDE Monika Brzywczy Her plates and bowls from the “Wave” collection have been all over social media in the past weeks. These pastel blue, pink and light blue pieces evoke summer paradise or the endless sky during the sunsets - that is everything we miss so much in Poland during winter. These projects come from Mua Studio, made by Katia Romanowska.
