On scents and the mapping of beauty
Notes|March 2025
Scent is memory, place, and time – an invisible thread that links the material character of nature with the subjective realm of dreams, evoking emotions and connecting the past with the present.

Olivia Lonsdale on the joys of going smaller
Interviews|March 2025
At first glance, the works of filmmaker Olivia Lonsdale seem hard to place in time. It might be because of the timeless beauty of every frame, the recognisable emotions she points to, or the grainy texture of her visual language, reminiscent of the past and mirroring the present. It’s deliberate: in her work, and in her life, the filmmaker and actor finds pleasure in the art of limits, favouring reflection and pause before finding the shot.

Signe Siemsen on the freedom of trusting in nature
Interviews|March 2025
Plants have always been a source of both food and medicine, and the knowledge of how to use them has been passed down through generations. However, for most people today, that link is broken, and nature often represents something we need to approach with care. For Signe Siemsen – an herbalist, doula, and craftswoman living in Stockholm – having a relationship with the wild brings healing and meaning to what it means to be human.
A reflection on blue
Notes|March 2025
It’s a paradox, blue. Often cited as the world’s most popular colour, it is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Abundance and rarity, both everyday and exception.
Ella Soccorsi on longevity and meaningful design
Interviews|March 2025
‘Design means curiosity to me. It is a tool for discovery, excitement, and a chance to completely dive into a topic I’m drawn to but know nothing about,’ says Ella Soccorsi, our Head of Design and Creative. ‘It could be science or nature or something as literal as material.’
Carina Seth Andersson on functional forms

Mario Milana on moments of presence
Interviews|March 2025
The works of Mario Milana focus on the interaction between the body, mind, and objects. With this approach, the Milan-based furniture designer attempts to integrate the habit of presence into everyday life, looking to expand the meditative practice beyond an assigned time and place. ‘If you have to interact with something both physically and mentally, then you're present in that moment.’

Synthetic fibres
Care guides|March 2025
Synthetic fibres such as polyester, polyamide, acrylic, and elastane have many useful properties that can be enjoyed in a variety of garments, including activewear and swimwear. They’re usually comfortable, quick-drying, and keep their shape well. However, they also shed tiny plastic particles that can enter the sea and cause harm to our ecosystems. Here’s how to care for synthetic garments.
Silk
Care guides|March 2025
Silk is composed of incredibly fine natural protein fibres produced by silkworms. It is surprisingly strong, smooth, breathable, and transports moisture. Handle silk garments with care to maintain their smooth and lustrous texture.

Wool
Care guides|March 2025

Brass provides a sturdy base for our gold- and silver-plated jewellery, enhancing the durability of the pieces. The plating offers a beautiful, lasting sheen that can be prolonged with the right care.
