I love trees. Drop me in a jungle or forest and I immediately feel at one, I don’t need drugs – this is like a trip for me. My library has a whole shelf of beautiful books about trees and one day I plan to travel around the world visiting some of the most special ones.
Scouring a wood yard or an exotic veneer importer, is my special day out. Those acres of exotic hardwoods with the most astonishing figuring and textures, are like wood porn.
So, creating a beautiful brush took a little time and discussion with our suppliers to select the base, bristle composition and structure. These brush experts outside Paris have been operating for 150 years so have stores of rare hardwoods that can no longer be purchased. We chose a Bubinga also known as Rhodesian Teak. Even the country doesn’t exist anymore as such.

None of us know what’s going to take us out. Life’s full of surprises. But we do know that the body starts to degenerate from about age 30 (more cells destroyed than created, barring excess weight gain) and also, crucially, that we can affect the speed of that ageing process.
Introduced by Portuguese merchants in the 16th century, and adapted over time to suit Japanese tastes, this light bouncy sponge is considered a traditional Japanese speciality. More delicate and airy than a regular sponge cake, castella ( カステラ, kasutera) is famous for a fine and moist crumb.
