get onboard
We’ve gone traveling… through creative and inspiring corners of the digital world with a mission of catalyzing ideas for a "Solarpunk" future. Come away with us on our first trip.
Don’t know what Solarpunk is? In short; Cyberpunk, as exemplified by The Matrix or Mad Max (don’t get us wrong, we love those movies), often feature a dystopian future with advanced technology and societal decay, but basically we “f*** it up”, whereas Solarpunk, envisions an optimistic, sustainable future powered by renewable energy, emphasizing harmony with nature. It's like planting a tree while rocking a pair of solar-powered shades, fueled by the belief that our future can be brighter. As a hospitality company at its core, we are trying to head there, or at least we’ll give it a shot, and while we are at it, we hope to inspire you on your journey. The hinter Planet will be an exploration shared with our community on traveling, design, art, culture, wellbeing, and nature. All somehow interconnected into slow living and doing things right. The future is bright.

- Over the past 7 years or so, our friend Natalia Swarz, founder of Hôtel Weekend has curated what we truly think its the best colleciton of hidden gems around the world; the one-stop place to find hotels when traveling. “Hôtel Weekend is a community of like-minded travelers with a shared spirit of exploring the world at a slower pace. A lifestyle destination for the modern nomad, featuring a selection of the most beautiful destinations in the world.” No resorts here, just beautiful, thoughtful hoteliers focused on design, the good life and slow living.

spaces to swoon over
minimal interior dreamin’
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, minimalist spaces are at no loss of warmth if done right. @aaroninteriors shares snippets of his home on instagram and it warms our souls right up. Less is more, but it matters how that less is done. When done right, with warm neutrals, the right lighting, intentional textures and of course *soul* - a minimal space comes to life.
visual mindfulness?
illustrations that educate and calm the soul
Yan Cacchione and his company Motamo are creating a community dedicated to living a slow life and achieving the highest sense of self-awareness so that every moment feels full and worth cherishing. Through journaling journeys and creative illustrations, Motamo spikes that daily dose of “life is good” into our lives.
the philosophy behind it all
We produced this video more than 2 years ago together with our talented friend Thish Para; We might have changed a thing or two, and added then some more, but the core of it all is still there. Here’s a refresher.
