"The places closest to my heart ... Paris is one of my favourite cities because my parents loved to go there so we went a lot when I was growing up. It's such a beautiful city with such a rich culture. I find it always inspiring. I also love New York and the Puglia region of Italy where my father's family are from.
I love Platner; I have one of his metal side chairs, and had those in our house when I was growing up.
I love peonies. I go to Miho Kosuda NY when I'm in New York, and Odorantes in Paris.
Ed Ruscha is my favourite artist.
