The London-based designer loves cycling, hand-shaped soap and the rules of a Japanese bath

My personal style signifiers are my thin wire glasses by the Danish brand Lindberg. If I don’t have them, I can’t do anything: I’m blind. The last thing I bought and loved was a Japanese teapot with two handles and two spouts. I commissioned my friend, the potter Ido Ferber, to make it for me and I really love it. It’s a traditional teapot but it’s so weird. You can pour two cups at the same time, using the left handle, then the right.

The biggest is cutting equipment: scissors, knives, chisels and tiny Japanese saws that I think are quite cute. I’ve been making things out of wood for a really long time, so now I have a lot. I also have a wall of hooks by designers like Michael Marriott, Martino Gamper and Bethan Laura Wood. The last items of clothing I added to my wardrobe were two T-shirts by a very talented artist called Noriko Okaku.
