The last couple of weeks have been an exciting time with the launch of my new book, The Quiet Home. Published by Octopus in the UK, and Hachette in New Zealand, Australia, and the US, it was lovely to kick things off here in Auckland, with thanks to Unison Spaces for kindly hosting us in their beautiful Muuto boutique.
Muuto’s ethos around neuroaesthetics — the idea that design influences our wellbeing and emotions — aligns beautifully with the concept of The Quiet Home. I have long admired Danish design, first visiting Muuto in 2017 during my Copenhagen trip for 3 Days of Design. It felt like a lovely full-circle moment to hold the launch here.
The launch was exactly as I had imagined — a relaxed, intimate celebration with friends, family and the dear people I’ve worked alongside over the years. With the support of our generous partners, guests enjoyed a beautiful selection of wines curated by Everyday Wine, delicious canapés by local restaurant Mama, and sparkling waters from Almighty. My favourite Auckland bookshop, Lamplight Books, was there too — and seeing people lining up for signed copies was a real pinch-me moment. Huge thanks to Juliette Hogan for my stunning dress, which made the evening feel even more special.
