It's time for another instalment of 'The Edit' - my regular series sharing considered buys to help you enjoy simple, relaxed moments at home and beyond.

Highlights from 3 Days of Design 2022 | Part 1
After more than two years of cancellations and postponements, design events are back in force, and last week I headed over to Copenhagen for its annual 3 Days of Design festival.
