Wish List No.4 Mathematical wallpaper from Rachel de Joode

I recently discovered photographer come designer de Joode and loved the way she transforms her fashion photography into wall coverings, a clever way of developing new avenues for her brand and crossing the boundaries between interior design, art and photography.

The photo collages are such that their geometric appearance, as seen from a distance, gives way to an intricate and somewhat surreal pattern of glamourous girls when viewed up close, each body, in a yoga or pilates like pose carefully angled reflecting a preoccupation with the ancient Greek counting system - alpha, beta, gamma etc, hence the name of the collection.

The 'Mathemagic' range of papers is being released later this year so keep an eye on the Soonsalon website, agent and distributor for de Joode.

Wish List No. 3 A scarf and cushion from Zuzunaga

Drawing inspiration from the geometric architectural structures, London based accessories firm Zuzunaga create interior and fashion products which reflect the vibrant and colourful nature of the modern day metropolis. Luxurious silk scarves and cushions printed in Denmark by Kvadrat visualise the ever changing moods of the city with no one cushion or rug appearing exactly the same. Launched in the Kvadrat store during London Design Week back in September an interactive, multi-sensory installation developed by Digital Tea enabled visitors to explore designer, Cristian Zuzunaga's preoccupation with our everyday environment and how we interact with it, the varied pixelated designs then reflecting the unique feelings and experiences created with hundreds of possible combinations of colour.

Wish List No. 2

A new note book, I have pondered over quite a few but have still not decided.

After growing up in close proximity to moths, my dad studying and collecting them over the years, I haven’t harboured a irrational fear of these delicate creatures. These entomology notebooks by luxury home wares emporium,  Natural History, reminded me of the fascination I had with their different colours and patterns wings and the beautiful 19^th century French illustrations printed onto the exterior leather binding do them justice very well.

Perhaps my decision has already been made!
