Notes

Things worth
knowing.

Observations on houses, gardens, materials and the people who make things well.

People

The upholsterer

A profile of the hands, materials and judgement behind a chair made to last.

Rooms

The case for lamps over downlights

Light should gather people into a room, not flatten everything within it.

Gardens

What makes a garden feel generous

Not size, but abundance, shelter and somewhere comfortable to pause.
