What's in My Bag
What’s in my NOW? — Elisa Michelet
issue #248
I’m a Californian-French artist based in Tokyo. My practice is medium agnostic, recently exploring film photography, bookmaking, and printmaking. I’m also a designer and founder of Studio Kaki, a branding and graphic design studio, and founder of Yuba, a free sustainable food guide to various cities in France. — Elisa Michelet
LINKS:
PHYSICAL
- MD Notebook [A5] — I’ve never kept a consistent journal or diary, but this year I’m trying out some morning pages, and I’m loving the weight of this notebook, the smoothness of the paper, and the fact that it always lies flat.
- Olympus AF-1 Camera — I pulled this camera out of my storage box last summer; it belonged to my grandpa. Normally, I don’t love point-and-shoots and prefer more control while shooting, but it’s actually been quite liberating to shoot with. It’s got a great built-in flash, and it’s lightweight, which makes it great for travel or pocketing for a night out.
- Hinomoto Konbu Bag — I thrifted this bag in Tokyo and have since fallen completely in love. It’s functional, durable, has no external branding, and has the most satisfying zip.
DIGITAL
- Only 8 — a brilliant website about Barcelona streets and who they’re named after.
- Never Too Small — A YouTube channel featuring beautifully thought-out apartments, houses, cabins, all roughly under 60 m² (646 ft²). It’s an excellent source of inspiration for interior design and architecture, and covers spatial problem-solving. It’s also fascinating to observe the distinctive ways in which individuals decorate their homes in cities across the globe.

“Coming back — so many pathways through the spring grass.” — Yosa Buson
