In/Out - This & That: Adam Goodrum for Cult

Come and get cosy with Adam Goodrum and these winter warmers from The Sartorialist.  Recently, we were lucky enough to meet Australian furniture designer Adam Goodrum’s newest collection from the newly launched Cult (formerly Corporate Culture). Goodrum has designed a tight little collection of plump lounges, armchairs and a beautiful winged bed. All pieces have one thing in common, contoured cushioning with sharp-as-a-pin tailoring. It was a pleasure to see this level of craftsmanship from one of our very own.

Chic and enveloping forms all wrapped-up in sophisticated woven textiles, it’s not hard to imagine the good-looking subjects of The Sartorialist taking a seat in these pieces. So, feast your eyes on these well heeled duos and drop by Cult to have a snuggle with Adam Goodrum.

Casa no Tempo translates as Timeless Home, which wonderfully sums up this uplifting Portuguese retreat. This is the place where your spirit can truly connect with mother earth, where hours and days bear no relevance and all can be forgotten except the basic essentials of harmonious leisurely living.

João & Andreia Rodrigues have not only fulfilled their grandfathers wish by maintaining the homestead and its surroundings but graciously extended the hospitality of this private sanctuary for all to enjoy.

Working closely with Architect Manuel Aires Mateus they have created a pure interior, that although minimal in nature runs parallel to its surrounds. The crisp white plush lounges and linen are akin to fresh country air. Uncluttered rooms awash in natural light correspond to the endless horizons and the handcrafted clay brick flooring are a true representation of the earth.

Humble yet exquisitely realised, this is where you go to unravel city knots. Bikes and horses are on hand to explore this nirvana, or if you’d rather stay put there’s a heavenly pool lapping away at the back door. The kitchen is a pure palette of white marble and timber, with its feasting table and open vistas it is just begging for fine grassy Portuguese wines, share plates and great company. What more could you want?

A stones throw away from Lisbon I’m sure you have to book well in advance to get your slice of this paradise!

Oregan based RillRill by Katie Freedle salutes the domestic gemstone marble in its modern day medallion necklaces. What a delightful surprise to see this common yet complex rock get its time in the sun!

In the built environment it is the natural materials that always give honesty and warmth. Stone in particular with all its intricate lines of history is what lifts the mundane to the magical so it’s no wonder that these neck charms resonate with us.

Their contemporary tribal geometry combined with their generous scale make them gallant medals. Statement ornaments combining copper, leather and marble could just as well be diamonds, gold, and chain – in our books they are one and the same.

From morning to night these rocks rock on.

The Delicacy of the Hand

The Delicacy of the Hand is a delicious dish-up from British food and culture magazine, The Gourmand chaperoned by stylist Annette Masterman. Photographer Amber Rowlands has captured a lively love affair between the food follies of London-based chef Nuno Mendes, and the bold baubles by Julia Muggenburg of Belmacz jewellery. It’s a lusty fling filled with fantasy!

Evocative if not a little David Lynch, these images are hauntingly Stepford Wives. Hands of jeweller Muggenberg are littered with jeweled indulgences caught unawares in a tangle of edible tactility on a backdrop of opulent couture.

Food and fashion – who can deny the deliciousness?

The Ham Yard Hotel is totally stuffed with plushness. It is a vibrant home-away-from-home just bursting with the signature British Kemp cool. Kit and Tim Kemp have gone all the way once again, to ensure that The Ham Yard is a memorable den for world-weary travellers.

Each one of its 91 rooms are about comfort and energy – inviting overstuffed armchairs beckon you to take time out, while electric combinations of colour and pattern thrill the senses. Lusciously dressed with rich, personable details suh as stacked coffee books, flowers in vases, rich tapestries and buoyant artworks give you the prim and proper sense of a everything you could want from a quintessentially English homestay.

It’s this delightful attention to materiality that defines the Kit Kemp signature. Handcrafted, robust ethnic textiles sit comfortably on traditional silhouettes and heavily buttoned upholstery. Strong timber legs ground fiery fabrics and wall-hangings ranging from Indian rural scenes, to lordy portraits, to the work our very own favourite Shilo Engelbrecht, delight the roving eye. Heavy draperies ensure that the visitor is well cocooned in their abode.

It’s a typically English sense of eccentricity that we know and love that allows the confidence to layer the conservative with the outlandish with such flair. Once again, Firmdale Hotels are at the top of their game. Where do I check in?
