HOW HAS YOUR STYLE EVOLVED?

I want every piece of work I do to be considered individually. But, certainly, I have a recognizable hand. My work should appeal to all the senses and appear carefree and artless. But don’t be fooled – the devil is in the detail, and each piece of work is rigorously thought through.

WHAT ARE YOUR BIGGEST INFLUENCES?

Textiles: whether organic pieces, remnants, colorful threads, ethnic, ancient or contemporary, colorful or monotone, linen, wool, dyed or natural, I love them all. I also love folk art and handcrafted designs.

WHO IS YOUR DESIGN HERO?

TASTEMAKER EMILIO GIOVANAZZI

The first time Emilio Giovanazzi was asked to create a cocktail list, he was working in Paperinos, the beloved but now-closed Italian restaurant in Glasgow that belonged to his uncle. “It was a great place, and it would consistently win awards for its wine list,” he recalls. As the city’s eating habits evolved, they needed to think of a way to attract a younger crowd. Emilio's dad (who owned La Parmigiana restaurant), figured cocktails was the answer. “He went to a charity shop and picked up the first cocktail book he could find,” says Emilio. “And it happened to be The Savoy Cocktail Book.”
