We highly recommend a peek at Run for the Hills new online shop www.artefacteria.com. Selling original art and vintage finds — created and curated by their studio — it is all drop dead gorgeous!
They’ve also launched a new website, www.runforthehills.com. Head over to see the very best in interior and brand design.
George, of The Duppy Share, is doing something amazing this weekend!
On Saturday he’ll be running a (social distanced) marathon to raise money for two charities that are close to his heart: Hospitality Action and The Felix Project. He hasn’t run a marathon before so let’s dig deep and give him a big GWS push!

The lovely people at Visual Editions have released a fantastic new project. “Stories of Splendid Isolation” creates moments of literary respite in the wake of Covid-19. By activating Google Assistant, listeners can hear writers from around the world share their reflections during a time of unprecedented uncertainty and connected experiences — like a literary version of Thought for the Day.
Head over to their instagram for the full details and to give it a go, it’s really great!
The wonderful MATA Architects are still working on a wide range of projects and adapting to a remote way of working. Here’s a throwback to their restaurant design for Monty’s Deli from 2017.
Selina Blow‘s online store is still open and it’s an absolute dream! This beautiful three-button fitted jacket is from Selina’s Spring/Summer collection.
Sophie Nguyen Architects are working on a new project in Notting Hill. With social distancing in place, the works on site have had to be organised differently. Construction is taking more time to be done and the team are using only materials available in existing storage. It’s a very interesting time for everyone but beautiful pieces are still being produced, like the wonderful staircase above.
The IAM20 – (Integrated Amrita Meditation Technique®) is a non-religious meditation technique that consists of body, mindfulness, breathing and visualisation exercises. Mata Amritanandamayi (Amma) developed this form of meditation to help integrate the mind, body and spirit. It helps reduce anxiety and build resilience, promoting peace, relaxation and happiness.
The aim is that everyone – regardless of experience – can meditate independently for about 20 minutes.
All you need is a cushion and space to lie down with arms outstretched.
The course is live on Zoom – a total of 3 hours divided into 2 sessions of 90 mins each. Teachers offer their time voluntarily, we only ask for a commitment to a personal practice for 21 days (completed on your own) and are extremely grateful for any donations to our UN registered charity.
Debi Ani (Studio 6) has practised IAM for almost 17 years and shares the teaching because its benefits in both her creative and personal life are unquantifiable.
