On a bitterly cold evening of Thursday 15 January I attended this elegant event and ate some dim sum provided by the Good Earth restaurant. They could not have chosen a prettier and more apt venue than the Horniman, where we are members. A little disappointed at the display as there was not quite enough …
I love getting ideas when I am travelling. There is nothing like experience for experience. Pasar Bella in Turf Road, Singapore, is an interesting concept, albeit all fake. As I am not a foodie, I don’t mind that: it is a bit like being in a theatre, entering a world. Here the world is the …

I went to the OKA summer preview 2013. This is furniture that I really like, and that my clients really like too. The look is a colonial, plantation, New England, Hamptons, comfy, Sloaney, traditional style. This kind of style never goes out of style. I also like that the designs are flavoured with a taste …
