Our Favourite Things

Favourite Fragrance – Replica: By the Fireplace, Maison Margiela

There’s something magical about Maison Margiela’s By the Fireplace. Its warm, smoky notes of chestnut and vanilla instantly transport you to a cozy holiday evening, where the crackling fire and sweet whispers of wood create pure nostalgia. It’s not just a fragrance; it’s a memory bottled. The sleek, minimalist design paired with the signature fabric label gives it that understated elegance, making it as much a visual delight as a fragrant one.

Favourite Lighting Designer – In Common With

I’ve always admired In Common With for their ability to turn lighting into pure artistry. Every piece feels intentional, blending form and function in a way that elevates any space. Among their collections, the Flora line stands out to me the most. Inspired by floral forms, these designs feel sculptural; like living art within a room. The blown glass finishes create a soft, distinctive glow that adds warmth and character, making any space feel truly special. Their New York showroom Quarters is a vibrant, curated space where these luminous works come together in harmony. It’s the kind of place you could linger in for hours, soaking in the creativity.

Favourite Design Firm – Flack Studio

Flack Studio is my favorite design firm for a reason. Everything they create feels effortlessly refined. Their use of natural stone, rich colors, and layered textures brings spaces to life with depth and character. I’ve always loved mid-century design, and that’s why I admire their work so much. Their mid-century modern-inspired projects strike the perfect balance between timeless elegance and contemporary sophistication. Every project feels thoughtful and elevated, yet warm and inviting. Simply put, everything they do is just so good, it’s design that resonates on every level.

Favourite Vintage Obsession – Record Players and Film Cameras

I’ve always loved music, photography, and the arts, which is why collecting vinyl records and film cameras feels so special to me. There’s something about vintage pieces that makes everyday pleasures more experiential. The crackle of a record, the tactile feel of loading film. My record player and cameras aren’t just objects, they’re essentials in my personal space, adding character and creativity to my daily life.

Quinta da Regaleira in Sintra, Portugal, feels like stepping into a storybook. Its ornate architecture, with intricate details and romantic design, is surrounded by lush, colourful gardens that seem straight out of a fairytale.
