THIS MONTH’S CONTRIBUTORS

Nell Card

Twitter @nellcard Profession Writer Features Live-in exhibitions, p83,

and Norse code, p118 Likes Unexpected, handwritten French road signs that read ‘ brocantes/vide-grenier’ (flea market/garage sale) Favourite colour Sadly, it’s what my friends call ‘greige’. Our home is painted in every conceivable shade of Farrow & Ball ‘white’ (the sludgier, the better) Dream buy Shutters. I just can’t find an affordable, good-looking way of dressing our Victorian bay windows. I have resorted to Ikea roller blinds for now

Ali Morris

Instagram @ali__morris Profession Writer Feature Letter to the past, p182 Likes Travel, good design and dogs Influences Meeting inspiring, independent business owners, learning about craft traditions from different countries and cultures and working with beautiful photography Design heroes I love the architecture of Marcio Kogan and Álvaro Siza; Ilse Crawford is queen of interiors and for product design it’s too close to call between Jasper Morrison and Barber & Osgerby

Hans Blomquist

Instagram @hansblomquist Profession Stylist Feature The joy of colour, p75 Home I live in Paris, in a very typical Parisian apartment, with high ceilings, moulding, marble fireplaces and the most beautiful herringbone floors Interiors style I like to mix different styles and use natural materials and elements to create an interior with a lot of layers and texture Design hero Michael Thonet. I think his bentwood chair is a true design classic
