My love of cooking inspires my designs; beautifully functional kitchenware that spurs on my creativity in the kitchen and reminds me that no matter how my day was, a favourite piece of fabric can be enough to brighten my evening and make me feel right at home.
As human beings, we are hard-wired for connection. Gathering around a table feeds that need. Its a place where bonds are reaffirmed and where breaking bread actually breaks down barriers. The centrepiece of our table should be the space we’ve created to gather together to connect and transform us. And it so happens that the most lasting human relationships are formed around the table, rooted by love. Today, I welcome you to gather around my table. A table that displays a life of abundance, celebration and an insatiable drive for perfection.
