I have a vintage fórcola, the oarlock of a Venetian gondola, for which I had an arm made by Carlo Scarpa’s metalworkers in Venice. It’s pretty special.
I don’t have the collecting gene, but it would be Cy Twomblys if I could.

I have some ceramics I would like to pass on to someone special.
If (over) staying with friends, Madre Linen.
