Here I write about living and designing, about my travels, about the apartments, and about life with my family. A mix of everything that matters to me. Personal, calm, unhurried.
The Journal
Family
My favourite flea market in Provence, Saturday morning in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon. Browsing with kids, relaxing in the park, a cat and Corsican pizza included.
Attitude
Why I speak honestly about money and call prices by their name. On transparency, honest materials and trust you have to earn.
Personal
What it is like to live in an apartment that is also a film location. Between everyday life with children and a camera crew, told personally from Marseille.
Personal
Why a well-made square moves me more than any monument. On unsealing, trees and giving the city back to its people.
Family
A family day in the Calanques from Marseille. How children read a place with their hands, which cove suits small feet and what to bring.
Attitude
Why I believe arriving deserves a person, not a number code. On thresholds, keys and the small gesture that changes everything.
About me
For years I have put homes together by hand, curated, not furnished. From that work a love of detail has grown, for honest materials and for pieces that are made to stay.
This journal is my place for it. I write about living, about the weekends when we share it, and sometimes simply about the life in between. Lovely that you are here.

Weekend seminars
A few times a year I invite a handful of people. We cook, we talk about rooms and pieces, we arrange something together. No stage, no minute-by-minute schedule. More a long weekend among kindred spirits.
Materials, patina, an eye for the real.
From the first concept to the last Bakelite switch.
Cooking, talking, arriving. The kitchen at the centre.
The core
Small groups. Regular meetings. People who understand that it is about quality, not quantity.
We meet regularly. Sometimes online, sometimes in person. We talk about design, about life, about the beautiful things we come across. Every gathering is open and invites you to bring yourself in.
The community is the place where we learn. From one another. From the places we visit. From the people we sit down with.
Write to me
You would like to join the community. Or you have an idea. Or you simply want to say what you like. Write to me.
