FRIENDS OF THE HOUSE · Knitting the Ocean - “It’s so hard to explain because on land…there’s nothing that is like it. Because you feel weightless… you can’t hear anything besides your own breathing,” says Erik Speer when describing scuba diving. “So many senses are taken away from you, but then you are just inundated with...new experiences and visions.”

The Hakudo Mono Diffuser Set includes a cork diffuser pillar & a 30ml Hakudo Botanical Essence with dripper pipette, assembled in a paulownia wooden box, traditionally handcrafted in Ishikawa, Japan. The cork diffuser pillar is a sculptural and olfactive object in space, shaped from burnt cork. Created by Antwerp based Studio Corkinho in collaboration with Aoiro. To Activate: 1. Place the cork diffuser on the wooden plate. 2. Activate the cork by slowly dripping 1-2 pipettes of Hakudo botanical essence on the surface. 3. The essence will gently diffuse itself in the air, delivering a subtle scent impression within your personal space. 4. Use 5-10 drops to reactivate. Hakudo Botanical Essence Hakudo offers you a quiet moment to unwind in everyday life and to uncover your authentic soul. It keeps the surrounding space purified with eleven botanical essences that work together in synergy: Hiba, Oak Moss, Amyris, Copaiba, Vetiver, Elemi, Yuzu, Green Oregano, Palmarosa, Ajowan and Cypress. Based on a philosophy derived from Kohdo, the Japanese ceremony of appreciating a subtle & exquisite fragrance, ‘listening’ to the scent allows your senses to be infused and to experience it with your entire being. It invites you to take a deep breath, to prepare yourself for the day, and to feel a sense of tranquility in the evening.

I have spent time in rural India villages and it was a regular occurance to witness the village women carrying their pots.They never seemed to struggle with this task, even when transporting large vessels and strolled along

What? Senegal style? I know. I hadn’t ever given much thought to style in Senegal. It’s not like bookstore shelves are lined with books about this style. But earlier this year, while I was looking for a free award flight to Marrakech this week, one of the return trip routes went through Dakar. I didn’t choose that … Continue reading "Senegal Style"
