The Art of Slow Living
In the heart of the Devon countryside, where the rhythm of life is dictated by the seasons and the rugged beauty of Dartmoor, Jeremy and Cath are quietly defying the pace of the modern world. As the founders of Feldspar, they have turned “objects for life” into a philosophy, crafting exquisite fine bone china and woodwork that celebrate the “perfectly imperfect” touch of the human hand. From their remote workshop to the tables of those who cherish timeless design, the duo explores the delicate balance between functional utility and soulful artistry. We sat down with them to discuss the shift from London’s frenzy to the wilds of the South West, the preservation of endangered British crafts, and why the “dimples” on a coffee mug might just be the key to a more mindful morning.
The Nymph Sees
The editorial presents the nymph as raw, complex, and self-determined—a presence both sensually poetic and untamed. The imagery traces the interplay between female presence and the natural world, highlighting how women and nature share the same resilience. This story reclaims this perception, turning the lens into a space where body and environment are viewed with care, respect, and the possibility of healing together.
Artistry in Tandem
In the heart of Lewes, East Sussex, twin sisters Liv and Dom Cave-Sutherland are blurring the lines between functional craft and ancient storytelling. Known for their “heirloom” aesthetic, the duo creates ceramics that feel less like modern products and more like treasures unearthed from a folklore-rich past. For the Spring 26 collection, they have collaborated with Ffern to translate the olfactory essence of the season into physical form—most notably through the “Wild Woman” platter and a unique urn celebrating Celtic fire festivals. From the Romanesque curls of a foliate head to the earthy palette of the Sussex Downs, Liv and Dom share how their shared “twin hand” and a deep reverence for history breathe life into their whimsical, one-of-a-kind creations.
Entre deux eaux
*Between Two Waters
“The darkness allows the light to be seen. This project emerged after a period of emotional fragility, as a space to slow down. I work with seasonal, locally sourced flowers. These images explore a state of being, neither fully dark nor light, but somewhere in between. Moments of instability, of losing and finding balance. Flowers float, each moving singularly, through the rhythm of water. Between shadow and light, a flower becomes a quiet, persistent presence, continuing to move, searching for the light. The work invites a form of quiet contemplation, a space to pause. A way, perhaps, to stop and stare for a moment.” Lucie Bascoul
Grounded in Craft
Nestled within the shifting lights and mossy valleys of Snowdonia, Rollo Dunford Wood and Freyja Lee are redefining what it means to live creatively. Rollo’s work, ranging from historic wagon restoration to bespoke pavilions, is a study in honesty and endurance. Freyja’s ceramics offer a tactile connection to the dreams and flora of the Welsh landscape. Bound by a shared lineage of makers, the couple discusses the joy of raising children amidst the elements, the thrill of the salvage yard, and the delicate dance of collaborating across two distinct, yet harmonious, crafts.
Easter
“The series reflects on the quiet nostalgia of Easter. To me, easter is filled with traditions and childhood memories with nature at its core. Snowdrops, the first sign of spring arrival, would carefully be collected and preserved for Easter letters sent to family and friends. In the garden, my grandmother would hide beautiful handmade nests filled with chocolate eggs for all of us kids to find. Eggs would be decorated and hung around the home as a colourful sight.” Andrea Brandt
Tulip and Sage
Flowers have always been the heartbeat of Hungarian culture. In the enchanting exhibition ‘Tulip and Sage’ at Budapest’s House of Traditions, the secret language of petals and leaves comes to life. Kath Griffiths and Edit Kalman provide a rich perspective on centuries of folk art, exploring how pomegranates, roses, and the iconic Matyó embroidery became symbols of love, youth, and heritage. Whether it is the bold colors of Kalocsa or the storied furniture of Transylvania, this article retraces the heritage of a tradition that is still very much in bloom.
Winter Florals, Tokyo-style
Directly from the AW26 runways, photographer Elisa Eymery captured the raw creativity of Tokyo Fashion Week. Moving beyond the traditional circuit, Elisa explored Japan’s deep-rooted connection to nature through the season’s most bold botanical trends.
A Conversation with Lina
Lina is not your typical chef. As a multidisciplinary artist, she blends Spanish warmth with Swedish minimalism to create "Dine & Draw" experiences that bridge cultures. We sat down with her to discuss her 12-year journey in France, her holistic approach to cooking, and why "waiting for a project to blossom" is the secret to her success. Dive into the interview to explore the intersection of art, nature, and flavor.
Ethereal Inventory
This series unfolds as a sensitive inventory of objects, colors, and gestures. Each image isolates a presence, a fragment of dyed surface, a fragile vegetal form, or a woven object as if gently extracted from an imaginary world. Rooted in ancestral gestures such as dyeing or basketry, it explores what remains once the gesture is completed. The photographed objects oscillate between function and fiction, between utilitarian forms and symbolic presences. They appear as silent artifacts, charged with memory, care, and invisible uses. The fabrics, printed or dyed with vegetal colors, enter into dialogue with the flowers and natural elements present in the images, the vegetal world permeates the compositions, subtly extending into the backgrounds. Through color, material, and composition, this inventory constructs a poetic archive of modest objects, conceived as talismans or protective forms.
Meet Tomoka Naka
Born in Osaka in 1991, Tomoka Naka began practicing calligraphy at the age of seven, training within the Seihitsu-kai tradition. What began as childhood discipline evolved into a lifelong inquiry. Naka, approaches calligraphy not as preservation, but as transformation. Working through the visual language of fashion, she reframes this ancient practice within a contemporary context, allowing brushstrokes to inhabit garments, campaigns, and global platforms. She has presented exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, and Paris. Her emphasis remains inward: continual inquiry, refinement, and the understanding that she is still “on the path” of exploration. Her brush lettering has also appeared in major commercial campaigns, and high-profile collaborations, bringing calligraphy into everyday cultural spaces.

A California Cake Walk
Through the eyes of Ninette Paloma, we are invited into the early-morning mist of California’s farmers’ markets, where the season’s first cherries and fragrant herbs become the soul of the kitchen. She elegantly captures the “sculptures of edible art” created by local bakers, reminding us that a recipe is more than just ingredients, it’s a reflection of the landscape itself.
Toxic flowers
