The Netflix series 'Halston' has garnered significant attention from fashion and design enthusiasts, not just for its portrayal of 1970s fashion but also for its meticulous recreation of Halston’s personal and professional spaces. Daniel Minahan, the series' director, conducted extensive research over two decades to ensure the authenticity of these sets. This research included visiting Halston’s former homes and offices and interviewing individuals who knew him, such as Paul Rudolph, the architect behind Halston’s iconic midcentury townhouse on East 63rd Street. Halston’s influence on interior design is explored through several key aspects. His townhouse, originally a 19th-century carriage house transformed by Rudolph in the 1960s, served as a prominent backdrop. Halston himself played a crucial role in restoring the house to Rudolph's original modernist vision, adding industrial gray carpeting and a bamboo garden. This residence, famously acquired by fashion designer Tom Ford, featured white walls, steel beams, a 32-foot-high living room, and a floating staircase, all meticulously recreated for the series in a Brooklyn art dealer's home. Halston also pioneered a form of 'haute DIY' with the help of interior designer Angelo Donghia. For his first studio and fashion show, Halston, working with a limited budget, used inexpensive batik fabric to create a 'rich hippie look' with pattern-on-pattern drapes, a testament to his resourcefulness and Donghia's creativity. This early studio, initially a raw, brick-walled building, was later decorated with sisal rugs, white Parsons tables, potted palms, and white orchids. Following his bohemian phase, Halston became known for his rigorous minimalism, an aesthetic he applied consistently across his fashion designs and interiors. Influenced by Elsa Peretti’s simple personal style and minimalist artists like John McCracken and color field painters, his interiors were characterized by clean lines and an absence of unnecessary embellishment. This minimalist approach extended to his belief that rooms should flatter their occupants, using neutral palettes of white, gray, and black to create spaces where people looked their best, complemented by thoughtful lighting and comfortable furnishings like banquettes covered in gray wool jersey. Red was a signature neutral for Halston, as exemplified by his Olympic Tower office on Fifth Avenue. This glass-walled space, designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM), was furnished with red lacquer tables, banquette seating, and wall-to-wall red carpeting featuring interlocking 'H's. Minahan's research, including speaking with the family of the original furniture maker, helped accurately recreate the cinnabar and vermillion shades of red used in this distinctive office. Halston’s Montauk compound, a property rented from Andy Warhol and Paul Morrissey, further showcased his redecorating prowess, where he installed signature banquettes and upholstered everything in white duck canvas. Notably, he pioneered the 'backwards book trend,' turning books around so only their raw pages were visible, to maintain a tonal, placid aesthetic. Ultimately, Halston was a lifestyle brand. While he never had his own furniture line, he extended his design influence through numerous licenses, producing carpets for Karastan, linens, towels, and even designing airplane interiors for Braniff Airways, including seats in beige and taupe and uniforms for flight staff. This holistic approach to design and branding highlights his profound and lasting impact on American culture and aesthetics. #Halston #InteriorDesign #NetflixSeries #Modernism #MinimalistDecor #LifestyleBrand #FashionInfluence #SetDesign

Meredith Rothman, a manager at Anonymous Content, initially envisioned a Spanish Revival home but was drawn to a modern, boxy house in Beverly Hills due to its floor-to-ceiling windows, natural light, and canyon location, which evoked childhood memories. She sought the advice of interior designer Lauren Waters, who convinced her of the property's potential as a "wonderful blank canvas for intriguing furniture and great art." This affirmation led Rothman to purchase the 2,500-square-foot spec house and commission Waters to transform it into a personal retreat suitable for entertaining and showcasing her art collection, which includes works by Analia Saban, John Baldessari, and a charcoal drawing by her grandmother, Luddie Waters. Rothman emphasizes the importance of collecting art by artists she connects with. The primary bedroom, located on the top floor, is designed as a serene space, featuring a custom wall-to-wall upholstered headboard and large windows offering views of the lush hillside and a 200-year-old oak tree, creating a treehouse-like ambiance. Waters initially advocated for a neutral palette, a decision Rothman now credits for improved sleep quality, with a rust velvet bench from Lulu and Georgia providing the only prominent color accent. A second bedroom on this floor has been converted into a gym. On the main level, a previously clunky electric fireplace with crystals was replaced by an open bookcase. This new feature serves to divide the dining and living areas while also providing a display space for Rothman's dishes, books, and art objects, such as a sculpture by Lauren Tsai and ceramics by Cody Hoyt. The kitchen underwent updates including brass hardware from Rejuvenation and cabinets painted in Farrow & Ball’s Railings, a soft black with blue undertones, to inspire Rothman's culinary pursuits. The living room is furnished with a custom sofa, inspired by Adrian Pearsall's cloud design, upholstered in cream bouclé and adorned with ball pillows made from vintage silks. Complementary pieces include a vintage French standing lamp and a Charlotte Perriand stool. John Baldessari’s screenprint, _Two Sunsets (One With Square Blue Moon)_, hangs above a vintage woodworking table from Amsterdam Modern, which functions as a credenza. Sliding doors connect the living room to an outdoor area featuring a vintage André Dubreuil wrought iron Spine chair. Notably, Rothman opted against placing a television in the living room, desiring a more meditative space conducive to conversation, while a custom sectional in Erica Shamrock rust velvet in the home's ADU is dedicated to movie and series watching with her husband, Jamie Iovine, co-founder of NTWRK. Vintage Benny Linden teak chairs, reupholstered in Zack & Fox fabric, surround a concrete table from Restoration Hardware, creating an inviting workspace. Rothman, who once preferred Spanish Revival, now finds her modern home perfectly suited to her lifestyle. #HomeDesign #InteriorDesign #HollywoodHomes #SpecHomeRenovation #ModernHome #ArtCollection #LuxuryLifestyle #BeverlyHills

Madeline Stuart, a prominent interior designer in Hollywood, has recently published her new book, 'No Place Like Home: Interiors by Madeline Stuart' (Rizzoli, $55). The title itself is a nod to 'The Wizard of Oz,' reflecting Stuart's deep connection to Hollywood's golden age. Stuart is recognized for her work with a clientele that includes notable figures like Larry David, Gary and Jeanne Newman, Lisa Henson, John Goldwyn, and Jeff Klein, as well as past clients such as Jason Alexander, Stacey Snider, Lindsey Buckingham, and the late Nora Ephron. The book highlights several of Stuart's projects, with a particular focus on her redecoration of the iconic Steamline residence. This home, originally built in 1930 by MGM’s production designer Cedric Gibbons for actress Delores Del Rio, was a challenging yet rewarding project for Stuart. She approached the redecoration with sensitivity, aiming to preserve the original ambiance while incorporating modern comforts. This involved meticulous details such as replicating the home's original gleaming black floors and redesigning French dining chairs to more contemporary proportions. Stuart, the daughter of director Mel Stuart ('Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory') and decorator Harriet Stuart, grew up immersed in a Hollywood environment. This upbringing instilled in her a unique perspective on interior design, allowing her to create spaces that feel authentic and somewhat 'undecorated.' She views each project as a director approaches a film, conducting extensive research to ensure that the design reflects the inhabitants' personalities and the architectural style of the home. This methodology ensures that each of the eight residences featured in her book possesses a distinctive character, a departure from designers who might repeat signature elements across different projects. Her design philosophy is centered on uniqueness and personalization, as she strives to 'reinvent the wheel every time.' Stuart emphasizes that her approach, while not necessarily a conventional business strategy, is driven by a desire to explore the vast array of beautiful design possibilities rather than adhering to repetitive styles. Her inspirations are diverse, ranging from a Hispano-Moresque beach house with individually designed bathrooms to a Wyoming mountaintop retreat furnished with modernist pieces by designers like Paul McCobb and Milo Baughman, eschewing traditional rustic decor. Despite the intricate detailing and unique themes, Stuart’s interiors maintain an ordered, spacious, and comfortable feel. She believes that beyond aesthetics, functionality and comfort are paramount. She highlights the importance of ensuring that a chair is comfortable or that there is a designated space for watching television, underscoring a practical approach to luxury living. Stuart’s work demonstrates a thoughtful balance between historical reverence, personal expression, and modern practicality, offering a fresh perspective on interior design within the Hollywood context. #MadelineStuart #InteriorDesign #HollywoodHomes #NoPlaceLikeHome #CelebrityClients #ArchitecturalStyle #HomeDecoration #RizzoliBooks #CedricGibbons

This article features an interview with Mary Graham and Nicole Salvesen, co-founders of the interior design firm Salvesen Graham, renowned for their classic-meets-contemporary aesthetic. The discussion centers around the launch of their debut book, ‘A New English Style: Timeless Interiors by Salvesen Graham,’ offering insights into their design philosophy, sources of inspiration, and fundamental style principles. The designers reflect on the book's creation process, noting that it prompted a deeper consideration of their client work, their evolution as a practice, and their aspirations for growth. They emphasize that English style is inherently dynamic, characterized by ongoing change and the layering of new elements onto existing structures. The process also allowed them to revisit earlier projects, confirming the enduring quality of their initial designs even after a decade. Addressing the balance between English style's rich legacy and contemporary relevance, Salvesen and Graham explain that they always begin by examining the building itself. This approach helps identify traditional elements to be preserved, restored, and celebrated, guiding the overall design direction. They stress that homes should be vibrant and lived-in, not static museums. To inject modernity, particularly in traditional settings, they prioritize personal belongings such as artwork, books, and object collections. They highlight the impact of combining a formal drawing room with a striking piece of contemporary art as a central feature. Regarding the influence of location and setting, the designers assert that the essence of English style is not geographically confined. It can be successfully applied globally, adapting its unique character to each new environment. They liken this adaptability to how each project differs based on individual client preferences. The core of their approach lies in the 'spirit of decorating,' which encompasses layering, incorporating antiques, and prioritizing comfort, rather than being dictated by a specific setting. Layering is a fundamental aspect of their style, and they advise confidence in its execution, suggesting that more layering often leads to better results. They advocate for a mix of patterns and plains, alongside a variety of textures, to achieve depth in a room. For instance, the light-absorbing quality of thick cotton velvet can effectively contrast with a light-reflecting chintz. They clarify that layering extends beyond fabrics to include all elements of a room: flooring, lighting, art, books, and the tones and finishes of paintwork. The aim is a considered, not necessarily fussy, aesthetic. The designers emphasize the critical role of antiques in grounding a room and imparting authenticity, advocating for pieces with clean lines and excellent proportions, whether a 1970s glass lamp or a Georgian center table paired with a modern pendant light. They advise a gradual approach to incorporating antiques, adding pieces over time until a personal balance is achieved. Their approach to color involves strategic splashes in unexpected places within traditional spaces, such as inside a larder cupboard or at the end of a corridor. They acknowledge a contemporary conservatism regarding color in homes, contrasting it with historical periods that embraced more vibrant palettes. Often, they derive color inspiration from a favorite patterned fabric, extracting various hues and applying them with differing intensities to establish a room's identity. The designers confess to occasionally bending conventional design rules in their own homes, particularly regarding pragmatic considerations like heating requirements, prioritizing aesthetics over strict guidelines. They also take a relaxed stance on rules concerning wall light height or furniture spacing, believing that comfort and intuition are paramount. Living with their own interiors has reinforced the importance of quality design and craftsmanship. They note that well-made, classic pieces provide a stable foundation around which styles can evolve, allowing accessories, artwork, and furniture coverings to change while the room's essential structure remains. This concept of 'getting the bones right' applies to architectural details, room layouts, and investment pieces. They draw a parallel to fashion, where a timeless core allows for subsequent embellishment. The concept of 'Future Heritage' means creating interiors that honor and draw inspiration from the past while integrating modern aesthetics, technologies, and lifestyles. Their designs aim to bridge historical elements with contemporary innovations, yielding interiors that are both timeless and forward-looking. Ultimately, they hope their book offers readers a versatile, approachable, and accessible guide, encouraging them to celebrate heritage without being constrained by tradition, and to confidently infuse their homes with personal expression. #InteriorDesign #SalvesenGraham #EnglishStyle #FutureHeritage #TimelessInteriors #DesignInspiration #HomeDecor #Layering #Antiques

The Brooklyn town house belonging to actor David Harbour and singer-actor Lily Allen is a vibrant and unconventional space, designed in collaboration with AD100 designer Billy Cotton and architect Ben Bischoff of MADE. The home, described as a "familial fantasyland of daring beauty and individual connoisseurial vision," stands in stark contrast to the prevailing trend of minimalist, neutral aesthetics. Its interiors feature a dynamic mix of chintz balloon shades, crystal chandeliers, pink silk, tiger-patterned textiles, and Mylar wallpaper, reflecting Allen's bold, eclectic, and fun personal taste, as noted by both Cotton and Harbour. The project began with the renovation of a late-19th-century Italianate brownstone in Brooklyn’s Carroll Gardens neighborhood. Architect Ben Bischoff recalls the house's initial deteriorated state and the subsequent discovery of original moldings and doors beneath layers of past renovations. The couple sought to preserve the historical character while creating a casual, family-friendly environment, rejecting overt formality. Billy Cotton presented three design directions: traditional English, modern Brooklyn town house, and a layered Italian style, which the couple embraced due to the neighborhood's Italian-American history and Allen's desire for something "weird and wonderful." The layout of the house also deviates from typical conventions. The second level features a primary bath-cum-sitting room, adorned with wall-to-wall floral carpet, Zuber wallpaper, and sink stands fashioned from Louis XVI–style commodes. This eclectic design prioritizes the owners' preferences over traditional resale value concerns, as highlighted by Allen. The primary bedroom, uniquely situated as a windowless chamber between the main bath and dressing rooms, further exemplifies the personalized approach to the home's design. On the piano nobile, the kitchen and dining area are positioned at the front of the house, immediately accessible from the street, signifying its role as the home's central gathering space. Conversely, the living/garden room, featuring a double-sided sofa in emerald velvet, is located at the rear. The lower-level media room, devoid of original 19th-century details, adopts a crisp, contemporary interior with a glamorous, Madeleine Castaing-inspired aesthetic, showcasing matching tiger-patterned carpet and sofa against high-gloss, creamy-white walls. This design choice, according to Cotton, is a reflection of Allen’s captivating presence and her aversion to conventional living spaces. David Harbour, a self-proclaimed "suburban boy" accustomed to a more conventional aesthetic, expresses admiration for his wife's distinctive vision and willingness to take design risks. Despite the unconventional style, which their children playfully refer to as the "clown house," the home embodies a deeply personal and creatively executed living environment that perfectly suits the family's unique preferences. The collaboration between the homeowners, designer, and architect resulted in a unique and character-filled Brooklyn residence. #HomeDesign #InteriorDesign #CelebrityHomes #BrooklynRealEstate #EclecticDecor #RenovationProject #ArchitecturalStyle #LuxuryInteriors

Holly Hunt, a significant figure in the interior design industry, has been inducted into the 2024 Interior Design Hall of Fame. Born in 1942 in San Angelo, Texas, Hunt initially pursued a career in fashion after majoring in English at Texas Tech. Her early professional experience included an executive training program at Foley’s, a Houston department store, and a role as an assistant buyer in millinery, followed by designing for a costume jewelry company in New York City in 1969. Hunt’s pivotal entry into the design world occurred in 1983 when she acquired R.J. Randolph, a struggling showroom at Chicago’s Merchandise Mart. She rebranded it under her own name, HOLLY HUNT, and embarked on a mission to redefine the showroom experience. Her approach was revolutionary for its time, focusing on elevating customer service, improving product display, and introducing transparency in pricing—a practice that faced initial industry resistance. Hunt curated showrooms that resembled actual living spaces, integrating architectural details, artwork, and a diverse mix of products and styles. She championed established designers like Vladimir Kagan and Rose Tarlow, while also discovering and promoting emerging talents such as glass artist Alison Berger and furniture maker Christian Astuguevieille. The company’s sophisticated branding and marketing materials were developed with the avant-garde graphics studio Thirst, all united by a commitment to superior quality. A key collaboration in the early 1990s was with French furniture designer Christian Liaigre, whose sleek, monochromatic aesthetic resonated with Hunt’s own. Hunt’s company became instrumental in manufacturing and distributing Liaigre’s designs in the U.S., influencing American interior design with rich dark woods and creamy textiles. This partnership gained significant recognition when André Balazs's Mercer Hotel in Manhattan opened with Liaigre-designed interiors in 1997. Hunt’s strategic vision extended to expanding her showrooms, notably opening one in the nascent Miami Design District in 1998. Designed by architect Alison Spear, this showroom deviated from conventional layouts, offering a luxury boutique experience accessible to all. Another Manhattan showroom, intended to open in October 2001, was successfully launched just two months after the 9/11 events, demonstrating Hunt’s resilience and foresight. She navigated the 2008 recession by restructuring her company, which led to the creation of Holly Hunt Modern, a collection that surpassed the profitability of her previous collaborations. In 2014, Knoll acquired HOLLY HUNT for $110 million. Hunt remained CEO for two years, overseeing expansions in Dallas and Los Angeles, and continued as a consultant until 2019. During this period, she undertook design projects such as a penthouse at the Surf Club in Miami Beach. Currently, Hunt leads House of Hunt, a Chicago-based interior architecture and furniture studio, engaging in projects ranging from product design, like the Dune sofa for HOLLY HUNT, to comprehensive home renovations. Her career trajectory is marked by continuous evolution and an adaptability to challenges, consistently eschewing rigid business plans in favor of dynamic engagement. #HollyHunt #InteriorDesign #HallOfFame #FurnitureDesign #ShowroomInnovation #DesignEntrepreneur #LuxuryDesign #ChristianLiaigre #DesignIndustry

Interior designer Trip Haenisch, author of the new book "Personal Space," discusses his approach to decorating Hollywood homes, focusing on incorporating color, using furniture as art, and creating a "collected" feel without appearing dated. Haenisch, recognized as a top interior designer by The Hollywood Reporter, showcases his past projects in the book, which features a foreword by Courteney Cox and includes clients like Laura Dern, Hank Azaria, and WME co-CEO Patrick Whitesell. One prominent project highlighted is the 7,600 square-foot Cape Cod-style home of Erik Feig, founder of Picturestart, and Susanna Felleman, SVP Business Affairs at HBO, in Pacific Palisades. Haenisch infused the home with personality and modern color, adding a playful blue runner in the entryway, orange wallpaper in the television room, and an indigo bar that connects the kitchen and family room. The couple desired a chic yet welcoming environment, and guests frequently comment on the lively color scheme. Haenisch also integrated their expanding art collection, featuring works by artists such as Ellsworth Kelly and Chuck Close, by designing spaces that allow the art to shine. He also emphasized the concept of "furniture as art," creating a custom dining-room table with a unique wood base and an Italian mosaic fabric pattern. Feig's favorite room is the library, while Felleman enjoys the family and living rooms, appreciating the carefully curated pieces. Another project featured is the 8,900 square-foot traditional home in Bel Air belonging to Shannon and Michael Rotenberg, executive director of Matthew McConaughey’s Just Keep Livin Foundation and a partner at 3 Arts Entertainment, respectively. Shannon, who dreamed of a white brick house with black shutters since childhood, wanted lemon yellow incorporated into the interior. Haenisch used this vibrant hue throughout, including a bright door leading to the powder room, and a yellow lucite Alexandra Von Furstenberg game table in the formal living room, which Shannon describes as providing a perfect "pop of color" that balances the traditional style with a contemporary touch. The master bedroom features a soothing lavender and gray palette, with paneling inspired by an old Paul Williams house and unique light fixtures. Haenisch combined traditional elements like the paneling with contemporary pieces such as a Christian Liaigre bed. For their eldest son's room, Haenisch suggested a red-and-white polka dot wallpaper only on the back wall to avoid overwhelming the space. The Rotenbergs' home also includes auction finds like crystal sconces and Biedermeier furniture, alongside modern pieces such as an egg chair and Joe Colombo bar stool. The kitchen prioritizes comfort with a window seat for watching TV, complemented by vintage lights. Michael Rotenberg's wine collection is housed in a wine cellar with vaulted ceilings and a Robert Rauschenberg painting at the end of the corridor, creating a fresh juxtaposition. The backyard boasts an infinity pool and offers an indoor/outdoor California living experience, with sliding doors in the dining room opening to the patio, fostering a sense of togetherness during family gatherings. #InteriorDesign #HollywoodHomes #TripHaenisch #LuxuryInteriors #ColorInDesign #ModernArt #HomeDecoration #CelebrityHomes #DesignBook

The intersection of fashion and home decor is becoming increasingly prominent, with designers extending their creative vision from clothing to interior spaces. This trend has seen luxury and established houses like Ralph Lauren, Dior, and Louis Vuitton offering home goods for some time, but in 2025, newer and particularly Black fashion brands are embracing this expansion. Victor Glemaud, known for his knit materials and exquisite patterns, recently unveiled a collaborative rug collection with Patterson Flynn. This collection is characterized by warm tones and abstract yet classic patterns, influenced by Glemaud's travels to Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, and Dakar, Senegal. The designs feature artistic animations of fish, turtles, and lizards, alongside floral motifs. Glemaud emphasizes that his design DNA translates naturally between fashion and home, highlighting the importance of respecting artisans and craftspeople in these new ventures. Similarly, Chuks Collins has ventured into home decor through a collaboration with Lush Decor. His collection, which was presented alongside his Fall/Winter 2025 fashion line, includes linens, duvets, and shams. Collins views home as an extension of oneself and a sanctuary, believing that personal style and home curation are intertwined. His designs incorporate intricate prints and craftsmanship, drawing inspiration from themes of renewal and healing. He foresees a continued integration of fashion and home design, aligning with Pinterest’s 2025 trend predictions for “Surreal Soirees,” which feature fanciful prints of fungi and wildlife. Sade Mims, founder of Edas, a brand known for its vibrant accessories, also delves into home decor. Her work aligns with the “Mix And Maximalist” trend, utilizing bold colors and textures. Mims designed a side table in 2019 and is planning more homewares, including an incense holder. She initially aspired to be an interior designer and always saw the potential for fashion and interior design to intersect, despite earlier industry resistance. Mims expresses her happiness at the current shift, where creatives are encouraged to explore various realms of design without being constrained by traditional industry blueprints. She believes that the fashion industry's constant search for innovation has led to the successful integration of home styling, particularly for Black designers, given the rich history and aesthetic storytelling embedded in Black homes. This natural progression reflects a broader understanding that both fashion and interior design ultimately aim for self-expression and embodiment. #FashionDesigners #HomeDecor #InteriorDesign #BlackDesigners #VictorGlemaud #ChuksCollins #SadeMims #FashionTrends #CollaborativeCollections

Henry Holland, a prominent figure initially known for his contributions to the fashion industry, has successfully transitioned into a ceramics artist, establishing Henry Holland Studio. This article delves into his creative journey and the diverse influences that have shaped his distinctive style, characterized by boldness and playfulness, which he views as a direct reflection of his personality. Holland emphasizes the role of clothing and home decor as forms of self-expression. His artistic inclination was evident from a young age, with teachers recognizing his creativity and early entrepreneurial endeavors like starting a Christmas card business. His mother served as a significant source of inspiration, fostering his creativity and exhibiting a strong sense of style. The profound impact of her loss over a year ago compelled him to actively seek joy in his work, as he believes sadness hinders his creative output. Presently, his inspiration primarily stems from his friends, family, and husband, as he is drawn to human stories and enjoys weaving narratives into his characterful ceramic and homeware designs. Moving to London from Northern England marked a pivotal moment in Holland's development, where he recognized the importance of taste and personal style amidst the city's diverse cultural landscape. His career path has been serendipitous; he initially pursued journalism but found himself drawn to fashion through a hobby that quickly evolved into a brand. Similarly, his foray into ceramics during the pandemic began with lessons and organically grew into his current studio. He highlights the unexpected synergies between the fashion and homeware industries, noting that his fashion background provided invaluable business training, and he now appreciates the more relaxed pace of the homeware sector. Travel has also played a crucial role in shaping his creative vision. Childhood experiences in the French countryside, accompanying his parents to antique markets, exposed him to various design periods, from art deco to mid-century modern. This early exposure instilled a deep appreciation for diverse aesthetics. He is an avid collector of Richard Bernstein's *Interview* magazine covers from the 1970s and 80s, valuing them as miniature pieces of pop culture history that illustrate the nascent intersection of fashion, culture, and celebrity. His most cherished item is a Debbie Harry cover signed by Andy Warhol and Truman Capote. While not an extensive reader, Holland finds value in self-help and spiritual guides, citing Eckhart Tolle's *The Power of Now* as particularly impactful. He also utilizes Blinkist to access condensed book summaries, a testament to his admitted impatience. Film, specifically costume and set design, provides another rich source of inspiration. He admires Baz Luhrmann's visually striking films, particularly *Romeo & Juliet*, and often references 1990s teen movies like *Clueless*, *Hackers*, and *Empire Records* in his fashion work. His musical tastes lean towards 90s pop, influenced by his first job at *Smash Hits* magazine, and he enjoys sharing these playlists with his studio team. Despite not being a keen cook, he hopes a forthcoming kitchen renovation will spark culinary creativity, though he prefers dining out. His favorite restaurant is Brat in London, known for its exceptional food and cocktails and its chef, Tomos Parry, whom he considers a friend. Holland expresses admiration for numerous contemporary creatives. He acknowledges the challenges faced by professional creatives and values the heart and soul they invest in their projects. He is particularly impressed by Es Devlin's set design and fellow ceramicists like John Booth, whose vibrant use of color he appreciates, and Alma Berrow for her humor. He also follows Christabel MacGreevy's transition into ceramics and is a significant admirer of Dirk Vander Kooij's work, especially his innovative use of recycled plastic materials, exemplified by a Melting Pot dining table that represents their first significant home investment. #HenryHollandStudio #InteriorDesign #CeramicsArt #CreativeInspiration #FashionToHomeware #PopCultureInfluence #TravelInfluence #DesignPhilosophy
