New In - Jun 23
Say hello to your June recs, in the nick of time might we add! We’re delved deep into an interior dark hole, ready to pounce for wine-tasting tickets, and are eyeing up an old collaboration for a new purchase.
A natural evolution from the original podcast by The Modern House, 'Homing In' is the new rendition of the design-led, estate agency's audio interview series. It explores the life stories of fascinating people through the lens of 'home.' Whether it be their childhood homes, where they currently reside, or fantasising over their future living spaces. Hosted by Matt Gibberd, TMH co-founder and author of 'A Modern Way to Live,' the podcast is an extension of everything the company has to offer; well-designed homes, an online journal for rich reading, and a directory serving as a sourcebook for modern living.

We're in the market for a new pair of BIRKENSTOCK, so we're looking back to the iconic partnership between the brand and Jil Sander, from a few years ago. Lucie and Luke Meier, Creative Directors behind JL, reimagined some of their classic designs (alongside introducing a new one) as a new release within their Jil Sander+ line, drawing on their upbringing in the Swiss Alps, Canada and taking inspiration from life outside the city and nature. Neutral colour palettes of cream, olive, and black embody the sophisticated JL aesthetic. Comfort, quality, and style are what unify the collaboration.

We've tried to include DWC on our monthly roundups before but it's impossible to coincide with a new ticket 'drop' because it sells out immediately. Allow us to put the Dalston Wine Club on your radar and we'll leave you to scramble for a spot. Brain-child of Scottish, London-based wine writer Hannah Crosbie, DWC is for the new generation of wine drinkers. Drinking, talking, and learning about wine in an unpretentious setting is what we love. It's a 'tasting event, reimagined' and she knows her stuff. Catch her on Sunday Brunch as a regular wine presenter, at Soho House doing bespoke events or writing in high-profile publications; The Sunday Times, Frieze, and Evening Standard, to name a few.
Those that know us, will not be surprised to hear we have recently re-watched Pretend It's A City. Despite coming to our screens in 2021, this would have been recommended sooner had New Journo been up and running. Directed by a long-time friend (and of course, critically acclaimed) Martin Scorsese, the documentary follows a candid form of New Yorker, writer, and public speaker Fran Lebowitz being interviewed, discussing everything from sport to transport, with the majority centred around life in the Big Apple. Lebowitz is unapologetically honest, brutal, and judgemental but never short of common sense. Please watch it, it's great.
