    Forest Glass (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    I somehow hit a moment of zero inspiration and couldn’t find something exciting to write about. Actually that’s a lie, I have a long list of topics but for some reason none of them were hitting the right chord. I know I’ll get back to them, it’s a matter of headspace. Same as reading, for me. There are books I drop and come back to much later.All of this to say that my mother was visiting and I picked her brain. She suggested I look into Bohemian glass, les verres de Bohème. She loves them and h

    Restaurants That Make You Feel at Home (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    I turn the plate over. Anyone who’s had dinner with me has watched me do it.Discreetly, and usually before I’ve looked at a single line of the menu (the truth is, I’d probably already had a look online before, yes, I am one of these people). I turn over the plate to find out who the maker is. I do the same with glassware. I notice the napkin before I notice the bread. It’s a weird habit, I agree, but my curiosity takes over.I’ve spent a good part of this year working on the tableware for two upc

    Objects of Absurd Specificity (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    We’ve all seen on some tables things we are surprised exist: asparagus servers, a spoon for olives so the brine stays behind, a saucer. If you get into it, the list of these pieces can easily become extensive. I’ve inherited some and started collecting some. But it’s on my mother’s table that I’ve seen most of them and every time I love it. My brain is just wired that way, I suppose, drawn to these strange little objects.Open my kitchen drawer and you’ll find a cheese knife, which we don’t reall

    Coup de Foudre 002 (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    There’s one time of the day we all love in the summer, aperitivo. Wherever you spend your summer, it’s always the best time of the day. Whether you plan for it or it’s impromptu, it always delivers. And there’s always the hope it will lasts longer. And in the summer, it’s better outside, by the water or near it. Or, if you're in the city, simply pretending. So for this Coup de Foudre, I went looking for the objects that make that hour. I didn't set out with a theme, but the pieces I gravitated t

    The Quiet Rebrand of Silver (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Somewhere off the main Salone circuit in April 2025, I ate a rose & raspberry ice cream out of a sterling silver cup.Georg Jensen had turned a tiny space into a Danish gelateria: espresso, gelato and a side of crosswords. I’ve loved the brand for years, but this was something else: new pieces made not for the silver cabinet but for daily life. The little silver ice-cream pot. The cones. All of it so chic, so precisely designed, that the experience felt complete and I love nothing more than an ex
