Product you would put at home?

The Gummy Armchair. I’m obsessed with furniture that has curves. It instantly softens a space and brings a sense of femininity and flow. I was immediately drawn to the Gummy for its playful colour options and how it truly oozes comfort. It feels both sculptural and inviting.

Product you would put in someone else’s home?

Without a doubt, The Pillabout Dining Table. Crafted from solid European oak, it’s timeless yet understated, the kind of piece that anchors a room and only gets better with time. It adds warmth and quiet elegance and is definitely something guests would "talk about" at any dinner soirée.

Favourite District product story.

I’m drawn to Tekla’s philosophy of rejecting fast trend cycles and designing for longevity. Inspired by art and architecture, its aesthetic feels quiet and timeless. Its B Corp certification gives me confidence that its commitment to quality extends beyond design into how it treats people and the planet, aligning with my belief that good design should be responsible as well as beautiful.
