THE eclectic homes of 20 collectors of natural objects are showcased in a new book by journalist Claire Bingham. Featuring rooms filled with feathers, fossils, shells, pebbles, taxidermy and more, The New Naturalists reveals the stories behind the collections and offers tips on how found objects can be used for sustainable decoration and even sculpture. It’s out on April 14 (Thames & Hudson, £25).
