I’m always looking for new and interesting things: shopping and sourcing, or just curious to see a new artist or maker.
Colourful and eclectic.
A set of Sottsass graphic black and white ceramics. They look great in any interior.
My living room has 25ft-high ceilings with windows that look on to nature all around. I sit in my striped Gaetano Pesce chairs and let my mind wander.
One of the first were beautiful porcelain Hermès dishes that I still use every day. It seems indulgent but it’s wonderful to surround yourself with beautiful things every day. I recently got a vintage 1970s chrome lamp that I love.

A beautiful 1960s Murano lamp that my mother had beside her bed. Every time I turn it on, it brings me joy.
Interesting ephemera with great graphics, old invitations on beautiful paper and exhibition catalogues from over the years.
My collection of books that span art, architecture, interiors, fashion and everything else. I must be approaching 10,000 at this point.
My father gave me this huge quartz crystal ball. It’s bigger than a basketball, something like a sorcerer would have. It’s beautiful and decadent.
I love giving something useful and special, like beautiful cocktail napkins and colourful cocktail glasses.
