Lisa
Loves.

Little rituals.
Lovely finds.
Things I reach for.

Our conversations often wander beyond interiors. You ask about my skincare, my cacao smoothie, the soups I make in my MioMat and even my bedding and towels. So I wanted to bring those conversations together in one place.

With love, Lisa

A few favourites, from my home to yours.

01 / In my kitchen

Good things.
Made at home.

My cacao smoothie and plant-based soups in my MioMat have started so many conversations with clients. The equipment we use and the things we make are part of the story of a kitchen, too.

MioMat

I use my MioMat for plant-based soups and for almond milk, made with almonds and filtered water from our Quooker tap. The chilled milk is the starting point for my cacao smoothie.

cherry smoothie.

Chilled almond milk, cacao, cherries and a little pomegranate. The smoothie you so often ask me about.

02 / Beauty rituals

A moment
for yourself.

Skincare is another subject that comes up when I’m chatting with clients. Here are two of the places I turn to for beauty finds.

A favourite from Hawaii

Leahlani
Skincare

Leahlani is the Hawaiian skincare brand I talk about when clients ask about my beauty favourites. Made on Kauai, it brings another of my interests into this collection: the pleasure of a small, everyday ritual.

03 / Rest at home

The finishing
touches you feel.

The bedding you settle into. The towel you reach for. These everyday details are part of how a home feels, and Rise & Fall is one of my personal favourites for both.

05 / Team favourites

Things we
all love.

Alongside my personal favourites, there are products that get the whole studio talking. The things we enjoy using, showing clients and finding a place for in our designs.

We’re starting with a small detail that makes a lovely difference to an everyday routine.

A team favourite: AXOR ShowerSelect ID in its softsquare form.

Our first team pick

AXOR
ShowerSelect ID

We love the feel of its temperature dial and the satisfying feedback as it turns. It is a detail we enjoy introducing wherever it suits the bathroom and the brief.

Come and try it in the studio, or explore the display to see how it sits alongside the other finishes.
