“A glass of water somehow tastes better in one of my Carolina Bucci x LagunaB glasses – a collaboration with the amazing Murano business owned by the Brandolini d’Adda family. They are dedicated to preserving this dying art form.”

“My desk chair at home is a vintage one by Ico Parisi for MIM. I love the pure green colour of the upholstery. I also like Saarinen conference chairs – we have them in my store. The important thing for me at home is to have wheels. I like to move!”

“I love the porcelain from this old Florentine business, and their candles, too. When it has finished, you have a beautiful pen pot for your desk.”

“The Row make fantastic simple sweaters; they are the perfect fit. For something simpler, I borrow my husband’s James Perse sweatshirts; I love the bagginess of their size on me.”

“Sweatpants are an obvious must. I love this brand – their cashmere trousers are pure luxury.”

“I don’t wear shoes when working at my desk, so Gucci Princetown slides, in beige leather, are perfect.”

“Sharpies, in every colour, are my favourite. But I also love these Faber-Castell art pens”

“Pineider is another Florentine business. They made my birth-announcement cards and wedding invitations, and I’ve just launched my own collaboration with them.”

“I love fresh flowers in a colourful Venetian glass vase – my favourites are by Venini and Archimede Seguso.”

“The marble for our paperweights comes from one of Carrara’s oldest family-owned caves.”
