Emma’s Edwardian terrace
in inner Sydney is home to a
vast collection of artworks,
handcrafted pieces, and wares
both modern and vintage.MY FAVOURITE THINGS
Table and chairsI inherited the
table from a former flatmate
and bought the chairs at
Lawson’s auction house.
Vases (on table)‘Hand-built’
Young Vessels+Objects pieces.
ArtworkIt’s from a paper-cut
series by my friend, artist Oliver
Watts. I used to work in a studio
alongside him.SideboardFrom
Grandfathers Axe.Vessels (on
sideboard) Some of the first
things I ever made. They’reimperfect, but I hang on to them
for sentimental reasons. They
hold my carving tools, which
belonged to my grandfather.MY LOCAL HAUNTS
I first came across Danish brand
Hay in Copenhagen and hauled
some of their blankets and rugs
back to Australia, so I was very
pleased when they opened in
Surry Hills. Nearby in Redfern is
another lovely shop, Chee Soon
& Fitzgerald, where I bought the
first of what turned out to be
many – possibly too many –
Marimekko cushions. Surry Hills
and nearby suburbs also have
a great range of dining options,
particularly 121BC, Vacanza,
Longrain and Kepos & Co.
