Designer Ingrid Starnes shares the accoutrements and creature comforts that are keeping her inspired this season
“My partner Simon and I live in a Vetyver Bergamot haze at home, as we have just released an eau de parfum and 4kg candle. For skincare, I always have our hand cream nearby, and I’m a big fan of Nars Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl ($46) from Mecca Cosmetica.”
“I love 1970s furniture and am currently looking for an amazing cane and wooden sofa with dark gherkin-coloured cushions. I saw one in a vintage store on a recent trip to London and fell in love!”
“When it comes to wine, Rod McDonald Trademark Syrah 2013 ($74.99) is an absolute favourite.”
“I’m loving neutral Japanese ceramics, like this Hasami Porcelain mug ($35), from Coffee Supreme.”
“I can’t wait to wear our Lady Slipper full-length dress ($699) this summer.”
“We visited Tokyo last year and it is the most magical place, so evolved and everyone has such dedication to style – it’s very inspiring.”
“Erica van Zon is a current favourite artist. We also love the Kirstin Carlin pieces we have, and Andrew Barber’s new large-scale floor works look pretty exciting.”
