Paring back to the essential

The architect John Pawson’s latest book is a wonderful discovery and an inspiration. Pawson is a master practitioner of identifying the essential, setting everything else aside and making the essential beautiful. Pawson elevates the everyday to something simple and rich with meaning. Mies van der Rohe pioneered this approach and called it beinahe nichts.

Cooking and and spending time with family are super important to us and its expression in our home is a priority.

What’s essential in your life?

Is there something–an activity or a pursuit–that you want to make a priority in your space?

How do you want to live?
