Notes from the studio
Short pieces on floors, tables, light and the other things a house is made of. New ones when there is something to say.
The kitchen counter, edited
Five things we are happy to leave out on a counter, because they look as good as they work.
Why we start with the floor
Parquet, herringbone, a woven rug: the surface underfoot sets the rhythm of everything above it.
The bath and the bed
Three things we specify for almost every principal suite: a tap, a showerhead and the sheets.
The case for one good table
Dining rooms are back, but only if they are used. A few rules for a table that earns its room.
Pieces we keep coming back to
A sofa, two lights and a table that turn up in our schemes again and again, and why.
Light, and where it falls
A lighting plan is not a list of fittings. It is a decision about what you want to see, and when.
Rooms people linger in
What we put on the tables of a bar and a client lounge, from the glass in the hand to the chair by the window.
Letters from the studio
A note every month or two, with what we are working on and what we have learned. Nothing in between.
