Profession Author and journalist
Feature For the love of shopping, p49
Interiors style I’d say colourful and
homely with a mix of old and new.
Others would say I’m untidy
Favourite colours Orange and green
Design hero I suppose I’d have to say Sir Jonathan
Ive because I use his designs on a daily basis (although
my iPhone is clad in a fantastic case with a pattern
by the brillant print artist Cressida Bell)
Dream buy Lots of really beautiful carpets and rugs
– and a floor big enough to put them on!

Anders Schonnemann
Profession Photographer
Feature Season of mists, p130
Interiors style I used to be a big fan
of simple living, with an emphasis on
a few vintage designer objects. Now,
after having kids, our house remains
simple but is functional. There is a clear sense of each
family member’s character and personality
Favourite city I just love New York. Even though
I have visited the city numerous times, I still feel
astounded by the vibe there and the cool places to see
Dream buy I would build a garage next to my house
and buy myself a vintage Porsche 911

About Liz is ELLE Decoration’s
Acting Photography Director
Favourite colour Wedgwood blue,
without question. My father’s a
ceramics expert, so I’m a little biased
Interiors style Simple Scandinavian chic with a good
wash of the aforementioned blue
Favourite design object A classic Hasselblad camera
Favourite city Reykjavik. I adore its mix of ancient
and cutting edge, from the monolithic black cliffs to the
sleek modern buildings. No city has so clearly affirmed
for me the reasons that I took a photography degree
