Last summer I spent a charmed 24 hours in the seaside town of Fano, in Le Marche, visiting the impeccably designed former farmhouse by Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi of @gamfratesi. Thank you both for letting me into your world — and congrats on the well-deserved cover! And a big thank you to @kurtsoller @tdelavan and Jenny Comita for trusting me with this one 💫 📸 @henrybourne

When I worked at Phaidon fresh out of university, there was always a stand in the lobby with stacks upon stack of the colourfully bound Wallpaper guides. Every time I was waiting for a coffee at the bar, I would pull one out and peruse a different city around the world (and sometimes they would, somehow, end up at my home). So it’s somewhat surreal that just over a decade later I was given the honour of writing one myself, of my adopted city, Milan.
Thank you to the whole @wallpapermag team for trusting me with this fantastic project. It was truly a joy to research and write. Pick one up and come visit!

I’m proud to announce my book ‘Italian Interiors: Rooms with a View’ is being released by @phaidonpress this Fall. A compendium of 50 of the most stunning homes across the country, it is now available for pre-order on Phaidon.com and will be on sale globally in November. It has been such a joy getting to know Italy through writing about its incredible designers and homes, and I’m so excited to share this book with all of you later this year when it’s released. When I landed my first real job after university at @phaidonpress over a decade ago, it wouldn’t have occurred to me within my wildest dreams that I would one day be returning as an author. Thank you to all of the designers and photographers who made this happen. And especially my old-and-new colleagues @josephowen and @mimiterragni, and @apartamentostudios, @mvassociati and marianamar84 for the amazing book design.

“Bronze casting pays tribute to nature,” says the designer Osanna Visconti di Modrone, explaining the allure of her chosen trade. “When I capture the way a petal droops or a bamboo stalk bends, I’m crystallizing it in time so it can outlive even us.” The Milan-based artisan is perched on a brocade armchair in her dual-purpose atelier/apartment, which overlooks a Baroque 16th-century palazzo. She has just returned from the foundry she shares with other artists in Milan’s hinterlands; her dark-wash denim outfit is still flecked with bits of bronze dust.
Visconti’s practice incorporates the ancient art of lost wax casting, which dates back thousands of years and allows wax forms to be transfigured into bronze through fire and molten metal. She takes out her phone and pulls up a photograph taken this morning to show an example of her process. In it she is adjusting a flower bulb that will be soldered to a rectangle of braided bronze vines and sprouting magnolia blossoms; the frame will eventually adorn a full-length mirror. “I don’t try to make perfect pieces,” she says, noting that no two works are identical. “They should have harmony, as they do in nature.”
Ahead of her upcoming exhibition at New York’s @MaisonGerard, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the inimitable @osannavisconti to learn more about her botanical-inspired creations in bronze for @elledecor. Read all about it in the May issue, on stands now. 📸: @lorenzobringheli

It’s always a highlight of the year, working on the @nytimes design special section for @julielaskynyc. This time, I was given the honour of writing the section’s intro — essentially a snapshot of the design industry on the eve of Milan Design Week — as well as an extensive feature on the rise and rise of the talented duo @6am_glass. In many ways, each of these stories represents two ends of the spectrum of Italian design: on one hand, the commercial megalith that is the Salone del Mobile; on the other, a pair of young entrepreneurs who have managed to build a brand independent of that system. Both have their place, and it seems that it’s in the @nytimes.
Thank you again, Julie, for trusting me with these stories.
(And yes, these are snaps friends sent over WhatsApp. I’m continuing my streak of never actually finding a print version IRL)

At the end of September, I jumped on a train and headed a few hours north to the Swiss hilltop town of Carona, a medieval village overlooking Lake Lugano. As lucky as I often am to write about incredible spaces, this one was different, as I would be stepping inside Casa Costanza, the long-closed doors of the home of Swiss Surrealist Meret Oppenheim, one of the most fascinating artists of the 20th century. Artists’ homes, especially ones that are works of art themselves, are a particular interest of mine. Unsurprisingly, it was incredible: full of site-specific work and precious ephemera made and collected throughout her lifetime (my favourite being the small notes she placed throughout the house telling guests and family members where all the things came from and how best to treat them, which have become fantastic resources for understanding her vision). There’s really nothing else like it. You may not be able to visit in person, but you can read all about it on @tmagazine. Thank you to my wonderful editor Jenny Comita for the commission! And bravo to @danilo.scarpati for the gorgeous images.

Somehow, I’ve had the immense luck of sitting down with two of the most interesting people in fashion of late. First, a long and wide-reaching conversation with Pierpaolo Piccioli for @tmagazine ahead of his Balenciaga debut earlier this month (thanks, @nickkharamis), where we discussed his feelings about taking over from Demna, his nostalgia for his time at Valentino, and the art and ideas inspiring him now. A few weeks later, I found myself on the doorstep of Raf Simons’ marvellous Milan villa near Sempione Park for @wallpapermag. We were meant to discuss his latest collaboration with Kvadrat, but instead mostly chatted about renovations on his summer house in the south of France, his obsession with Art Nouveau wall-hanging systems, and his complaints about the lack of colour in contemporary design.
