A List of Useful Recommendations — June 2026

There is a particular pleasure in objects that do exactly what they promise and look extraordinary doing it. A shower that connects to a hose and stands in the garden like an architectural proposition. Tiles that are Josef Albers’ lifelong study of colour and the square, made permanent in ceramic by Mutina. Niwaki tools for the garden, a hammock for after. And then the ease of it — a market basket woven from palm leaves, falling sleeves, and glass spoons that are their own kind of sweet. Jewellery with a little weight to it: a quartz necklace, earrings worth noticing. Rachel Cusk’s Life of M for the long evenings.
