home truths

FORM OR FUNCTION FIRST?

It has to be both. Things can still look beautiful and be functional; nature is the perfect example of this.

DESIGN HEROES?

I love Vincenzo De Cotiis, Steven Gambrel and Joseph Dirand.

FAVOURITE COLOUR COMBINATION?

Monochromatics, whites and all shades of white and pink.

IF YOU WERE A SOFA, WHICH ONE WOULD YOU BE?

A Sesann three-seater by Gianfranco Frattini for Tacchini – or a pink velvet vintage 1950s model.

SECRET OF A HAPPY HOME?

Lots and lots of natural light and an open-plan entertaining space.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

Many things inspire me – art, photography, fashion, nature – all of which I use in designing a home.
