1. Gidon Bing ceramic citrus juicer
Tactile, practical and utilitarian. Small things that you use often should bring you pleasure. This ticks all the boxes for me.
2. Martino Gamper salt and pepper spitz
Pieces of design that can be used, unlike the chair. These liven up any dinner party and make avocado on toast that little bit more exciting.
3. Type 75 Anglepoise Lamp
I always visit Margaret Howell’s Wigmore Street store when in London. I love her devotion to English manufacturing and Mid Century Design. This lamp sits on my desk and reminds me of that every time I switch it on.
4. Hotaru lights by Barber Osgerby
On a recent trip to Tokyo I was reminded of how beautiful good rice paper lights can be and how simple Japanese design is still unprecedented.
5. Martino Gamper one-off chair
This was a gift for my Art Friend and it sits in our hallway. I walk past it every morning and marvel at its weirdness. I’ve never sat on it and probably never will, but its angles, corners and form never fail to amuse and inspire me.
