LIFE & ST YLE

Emili shares some first and favourite things.

FIRST ADULT HOME? A lovely Art Deco apartment in Sydney’s Kings Cross with high ceilings and carefully considered joinery. BUCKET-LIST DESTINATIO­N? Iceland for the Northern Lights, Guadeloupe in the French Caribbean ... or anywhere with mountains to ski! BEST MEAL EVER? That’s a hard one, but Rijsel in Amsterdam is a standout for its amazing spring chicken and seasonal greens.

DREAM CAR Anything with seven seats (5) and a roof rack – we love our road trips. I’D I D CROSS THE WORLD TO… spend Christmas with my brother’s family in Porreres, Mallorca (1). FAVOURITE FLO FLOWERS Australian natives (10). FAVOURITE A ARTISTS Jon Cattapan, Belinda Fox (8) and my brother, Chris Fox (6). I also love the work of photograph­er Dan Hocking – his Sans image imag of a quarry hangs in our dining area – and Nick McDonald of Made by Morgen, who made our o dining and coffee tables.

FAVOURITE FASHION LABELS I like to support local loca designers such as Scanlan Theodore (3), Marcs and Gorman.

FAVOURIT FAVOURITE SCENT Issey Miyake (4). ALL-TIME FAVOU FAVOURITE FILM The Breakfast Club (2) would have to be it. Bring back the ’80s!

A DESIGNER HOMEWARE PIECE I LOVE IS My grandad’s grandad original B9 bentwood dining chairs (9) – especially after spending a week putting puttin in the elbow grease to sand them back bac to their original finish!
