I took these photos in Perugia a few months ago, in Spring. The light is amazing in Umbria. So different to here. I think it was my last full day in town. Funny, but no matter how many times I return to Italy, I always get a bit snap happy when it comes time to leave.
Today it was nice to be reminded of the source of one of my favourite colours.
Sunday afternoon, Magione (PG) Italy… che dire? Grazie di cuore to Tania and Salvo for making us all look and feel like very privileged protagonists in a modern day Renoir.
My pick for best chair at this year’s Milan Furniture Fair: The Bouroullec designed Baguette for Italian brand Magis.

Seth Godin talks about finding your own brand essence, your own style, culture whatever you want to call it. And how if you have to search really hard you’re unlikely to find one. ‘Clothes don’t make the man’, he says, ‘the man makes the man’. Clothes simply amplify whatever it is you really stand for.
I’ve hung on to that idea all week. How it works when you swap ‘clothes’ for ‘interior design’. This Rome loft (the home of artist Valentina De Martini) feels like a case in point.
When, one day, I return to the lovely walled town of Lucca this apartment is where I want to live.
