Søren

Raised by a lesbian couple in a wooden refuge, the abstract painter turned tender poet plans to work out decades-worth of daddy issues by spending next summer in an ashram. The proud Pisces’ most watched video for the past three years on YouTube is “8 Hours of Whale Sounds Deep Underwater for Sleep and Relaxation”, which he plays around the clock in his studio.

Jackson

Skater known amongst peers as a more edgy “Jax”, a nickname self-manufactured in an effort to appear more threatening. The crayola fanatic counts Tyler the Creator as a personal hero and claims he invented the word “Kid-core”, despite losing a recent lawsuit over copyright.

Mark

Elias

Finnish architect whose affinity for the extravagant and impractical seems out of place in Scandinavia. Exhausted by feeling like the black sheep of the industry, a move to Dubai is likely on the horizon. The avid outdoor sportsman recognises the move will be more topographically challenging than emotionally or financially. Rather compulsively smokes Marlboro Golds throughout the day, his morning hike being no exception.

Dreams of being a dissenter, though deep down knows his summer spent at sailing camp in Cape Cod are the closest he’ll ever get to a bohemian lifestyle.

Sascha
