DISTINCTION AWARD 2022 FOR BEST ENTIRE BOOK DESIGN - AUSTRALIAN GRAPHIC DESIGN ASSOCIATION

H o m e is an exploration and celebration of the home. It is a book that is soft and kind. The 440 pages are filled with stories, histories, musings, recipes, insights, how-to and warm and touching, real and relatable images of homely things from all over the world.

H o m e is a much needed virtual cuddle. A gentle nudge to value the importance of being content in slowing things down, to appreciate contemplation as much as playfulness, laughter and joy. To see our homes as a cocoon. That our home is our nest, our safe place to recharge and rest, explore and be our unguarded self.

H o m e reminds us to appreciate the beauty in everyday things and observe rituals such as the comforting art of making a tart or boiling the perfect egg.

H o m e is not about trends or following them, instead it places value on the importance of relationships with family, friends and the hardest, oneself. Our homes are the very essence of us. They’re where we explore and develop our individuality more deeply than anywhere else. They are a concentrate of all we are. Quintessentially so.

Victoria, I can not thank you enough for the parcel you sent with my book, it began at the smart box, on to the ribbon, the tissue, the you hoo, the book and it’s inscription, and as well a card with a message to tuck into the complete treasure that is your book. The first few lines about tea teapots china choices…. it is inviting and beautiful and I thank you for it. You certainly live by the message in the bottom of the box, a start to finish delight. ….back to my reading now. J.
