The Stylist Edit – Jess Kneebone

The spaces we inhabit wield extraordinary power, shaping not just our thoughts and routines but often our happiness. We yearn to create a sanctuary that resonates both within ourselves and with those who share in its intimacy. However, we are faced with questions: which pieces to include, and where to place them? While each brief is personal, I hope this provides inspiration.

Lately, I’m fascinated by asymmetry, textured materials and the imprints of craftsmanship. I find myself drawn to the qualities of seasoned wood, unpolished metals, organic shapes and lived-in leather, which each bear tangible signs of life. These traces of humanity speak more deeply to us than the cold uniformity of mass production. You’ll notice among these pieces is the use of mixed materials, a blend of classic and contemporary forms, and, hopefully, the warmth that drives many of my projects.

“I find myself drawn to the qualities of seasoned wood, unpolished metals, organic shapes and lived-in leather, which each bear tangible signs of life.”

I encourage you to leave room for spontaneity in your spaces; allow the pages of books to lie open, melodies to linger and objects to rest on the floor. Cherish the traces of candle wax as echoes of fervent conversations. Abandon the pursuit of rigid order and in the charm of imperfection, find beauty.
