Last week I received an intriguing email from a brand-new company called House & Hamper, asking if I’d like to feature its range of gift boxes on These Four Walls. I’m quite fussy about who I recommend on these pages, but it turns out House & Hamper is right up my street. It was founded by Yasmin Ward, who shares my love of Scandinavian design, and focuses on handpicked, natural products . . .
Introducing Yonder Collective
At the weekend I was lucky enough to be invited to the first gathering of Yonder Collective, which saw 20 creatives from the South West come together in Bristol for an evening of inspiration, encouragement and delicious seasonal food.
