Alfonso Pérez-Ventana’s Madrid apartment feels surprisingly detached from the city below. Mature trees rise outside the windows, plants spill across a small terrace, and with the doors left open, indoors and outdoors begin to blur. It is an apt setting for the landscape designer, whose work is defined by observation, patience and an instinctive understanding of place. In conversation with Alessandro Laraspata, Pérez-Ventana reflects on the landscapes that shaped his childhood, the lessons he learned at Madrid’s Royal Botanical Garden and why the best things in life are rarely finished.

Camilla Frances spends the day with antique and vintage hunters, Brooke Metcalfe and Sarah Hiscox, whose keen eyes for design and nose for a special find led them to establish Source London in 2021. With their special curation for Cabana Vintage now live exclusively, the pair talk Camilla through their lives, both personal and professional, over one long, inspiring day together.

Cabana honours the life and legacy of Fernando Caruncho, a cherished friend and longstanding contributor. A singular figure in landscape design, Caruncho brought to his work a rare sensitivity to spirituality, geometry and nature. To mark his passing, we share a personal remembrance from Miguel Flores-Vianna, followed by The Soul of the Observer, Sophie Goodwin’s reflective conversation with the masterful Spanish landscape designer, published in Cabana Issue 24.

Over five decades, Jeremy King has transformed London’s restaurant scene, creating glamorous meeting places where royalty, rock stars, artists and politicians mingle with cabbies, footballers and photographers. From Le Caprice and The Ivy to The Wolseley and Simpson’s in the Strand, Sophie Goodwin traces his remarkable career and considers the resilience, instinct and appetite for reinvention behind it.

In this series, we ask antique dealers and collectors to share the stories of two special objects that have passed through their hands: their greatest 'find' and the piece they'll keep forever. This week, it's the turn of London-based interior designer, Rachel Aisling Walker.

When Märta Måås-Fjetterström died, she left behind hundreds of designs waiting to be woven. More than 80 years later, the drawers in the Swedish textile designer's studio overlooking the sea at Båstad continue to yield new rugs, many of them emerging from sketches she never saw realised.  

The Zetter Bloomsbury, designed by James Thurstan Waterworth, opened its doors this spring beside the British Museum. Taking the neighbouring institution as his point of reference, the founder of Thurstan has created a hotel with a rare atmosphere. For Cabana’s Finders Keepers series, he shares with Emma Becque the stories behind ten exceptional pieces found within its walls.

Antiques dealer Hilary Fisher of Fisher London reflects on two deeply personal treasures: a remarkable relic carved from the Waterloo Elm, and a humble 18th-century box that first sparked a lifelong love affair with history, mystery, and the poetry of objects.

For Oberto Gili, photography has never been about perfection. Over a career spent moving between New York, Italy and some of the world's most fascinating houses, he remains drawn to the details that reveal how people truly live. As he marks the launch of his new book Everything, At Once, published by Cabana, Oberto reflects on curiosity, observation and the enduring pleasure of finding meaning in the things others might overlook.

Painter Gigi Ettedgui lives in London, but is never happier than when travelling. She sits down with Sophie Goodwin to discuss her all-consuming practice: why she typically paints men over women, the psychology of the sitting process and what she listens to whilst she works. Gigi is also developing her tiny house on the sea on the Greek island, Patmos, and has two exhibitions on the horizon.

Portrait miniatures were made for the hand, explains Emma Rutherford, because “they were the only way of obtaining an honest portrait of someone you loved”. Emma has built a career bringing these small, charged objects back into view through The Limner Company. As part of our Finders Keepers series, she reflects on two special objects: one she found and one she could not let go.

Renowned costume designer Sandy Powell CBE remains a distinctly original voice in an increasingly homogenous world. Her sharp instinct took her from South London to Hollywood where she has worked solidly for nearly 50 years, playing many parts and dressing many characters in more than 50 films. She talks to Sophie Goodwin.

Deep in the hills of Andalusia, Trasierra feels like a world of its own. Conceived and shaped over decades by British interior designer Charlotte Scott, the former cortijo has slowly evolved into a beautiful hotel. Charlotte shares the rhythms and rituals of her day, and a life defined by contrasts: solitude and sociability, English restraint and Andalusian warmth, discipline and improvisation.

South Africa-born UK-based textile entrepreneur Bernie de Le Cuona has built a brand rooted in resourcefulness, sustainability, and an enduring connection to Africa. Speaking with Camilla Frances, she reflects on rural beginnings, daily rituals, and how the landscapes, textures, and spirit of her homeland continue to shape her work and worldview today.

Founder of Moltoitaliano and Molto Collectibles, Rome-based entrepreneur and collector Lorenzo Bassetti, has spent the past two decades cultivating a personal vision of Italian culture – one that moves fluidly between art, design, craftsmanship and everyday life. Lorenzo shares the story of two important objects that have passed through his hands: his greatest find and the piece he'll keep forever.

Trained as a conservator, Adam Calvert Bentley spent 15 years examining objects at close quarters, learning how they were made, used and repaired. Now an antique dealer based in London's Holland Park, he brings the same patient research to buying and selling. Adam shares with Emma Becque the stories of two objects that have passed through his hands: his greatest find and the piece he will keep forever.
