I'm thrilled to have two features in the Autumn 2014 issue of the heavy-duty compendium of upscale design lushness which is Alto Magazine. The magazine issues follow the seasons so there are only four a year which makes a refreshing change in this high speed media world and at £30 a copy it is really more like a book. It's the very definition of "tangible media" my current favourite buzz phrase to describe the tactile delight of an actual paper magazine.

On p48 is my piece on the beautiful lights being dreamt up by bespoke lighting companies for which I interviewed Charles Edwards, Chris Cox of Cox London and Will Fisher of Jamb. And on p154 is my interview with interior designer Sarah Lavoine about an extraordinary apartment she designed for a French movie producer in the 7th arrondissement in Paris. I could get used to living in Alto world.
