September stories.

The start of September always ushers in a raft of emails in my inbox, showcasing the new season collections from some of my favourite design brands.  While I don’t believe anyone needs to be updating their home decor on a yearly – let alone seasonal – basis, I’m always excited to see new lifestyle imagery from the brands whose designs I’m always most drawn to; to gain inspiration for new ways of arranging my home, new colours I might like

Italian vacanza.

I always love to see how the creative and unique approaches design companies take in sharing their brand philosophy with their customers. Danish design brand Vipp have been slowly but surely developing their own portfolio of design-led one-of-kind hideaways, that allows guests to fully immerse themselves in the wonderful world of Vipp and experience all their products in the most beautiful of settings.

Arrangements in blue.

Blue —and more specifically cobalt blue— has always been my colour of choice for adding accents to my home. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll have likely noticed that cobalt blue has been everywhere in the fashion world lately; from the SS23 runways to the windows of COS, Arket et al and, where fashion leads, homeware usually follows.    For me, the colour blue always evokes a sense of wanderlust and escapism, especially when paired with creamy whites

Life in the folds.

French design brand Ligne Roset celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Togo chair this summer.  Characterised by its distinct curvature and sunken profile, the structureless Togo sofa has a crumbled silhouette reminiscent of a tube of toothpaste folded back on itself, and emphatically captures my love for relaxed yet refined interior decor. Designed by Michel Ducaroy, in the same year the Ligne Roset brand launched, the modular sofa can be reconfigured in a variety of ways and has sold over
