WHAT BUILDING INSPIRES YOU?
The Pompidou Centre in Paris, the architecture and design both inside and out is so impressive. It also has great views of the city.
Carlo Scarpa. He was an Italian architect, influenced by the materials, landscape and the history of Venetian culture and by Japan. I admire how he translated his interests in history, regionalism, invention, combined with his craftsmanship into ingenious glass and furniture design.
an artist you most admire?
favourite furniture design piece?
The Angelpoise lamp, which I have also used recently in a couple projects, including our latest BTR project.
A RESTAURANT YOU MOST LIKE TO VISIT AND WHY?
The best advice I have ever been given was from my Economics teacher in school. “The glass is always half full”.
BEST ADVICE YOU’VE EVER BEEN GIVEN?
MOST RECENT SUSTAINABLE BRAND DISCOVERY?
I recently discovered Nove Lighting. They craft various pendants and lamps from cork oak trees and are fully sustainable. I hope to use them in a project in the near future!
