What is your idea of perfect happiness?
L: Freedom, not having to work for money. I refuse to think we are here only to pay bills, and buy stuff, consume things. Sometimes we do not feel free because of this matter. I guess what I mean is that happiness for me is the sense of freedom. To be able to move, travel and dedicate my time to what i really wanna do.
CH: Set a table for my loved ones! many friends and kiddos playing around. I enjoy it all the way starting early in the market, to get some fresh food. Usually go with my partner and we treat ourself stopping for aperitivo on the fish store. He is very good with main courses so i let him cook and i got confortable on this while i am doing other things around. I am good at finger food and starters, love salads and fresh food :) Really enjoying using herbs and topping the plates (must be the florist coming out). Cold the wine, and nice music and this is all.
What is your current state of mind?
L: This is a hard one haha. I usually have different states of mind during the day but I guess after all this pandemia situation we are living in I feel awake and aware. I feel a bit more conscious of time and the importance of enjoy because time pass fast, we should appreciate every second! Time is precious, I wanna spend it with the ones I really care about.
CH: Disperse but really happy
Which Super Power would you most like to have?
L: To be able to fly!
CH: Probably teleport
Where would you most like to live?
L: I would like to live somewhere right next to the ocean in the middle of nature. Tiny house, huge garden.
CH: I live in Gracia and i really like it. Missing the sea thats for sure... One day i would like to live in a one-floor little house next to a tree. Doesn't have to be right on the beach but at least on the views.
Which one is your Favourite Garden?
L: I don’t have a favorite, I like a lot of different styles. In a garden I love the contrast between wilderness and subtle formality. My favorite gardens are from Piet Oudolf who for me is liKe a painter but with plants. I also love the work of Dan Pearson And Tom Stuart Smith.
CH: Abuela Sarah's garden in East Devon. UK ❤
For public gardens i dream to go and visit Japan botanics gardens. I had a trip planned last may with many of them on the list but flights were cancelled for Covid. We had to postpone but definitely coming
Who would be your references for flower set designs?
L: My favorite florists are from Australia: Ruby Barber, Simone Gooch. But in flower set design I really admire the work of Alice Auboiron and also Sarah Edwards. All this ladies have magic hands. Their work is naturist, bucolic and timeless but also very modern through composition and color management.
CH: There is many amazing artist and flower and vegetal designers now a days. For gardens will be Piet Oudolf, a dutch landscape architect. He really got me. the managed of textures and colours, seasons and his ability to project the landscapes. Is fascinating. Also his sketches and his work process.
For flowers i really admire Sarah Ryhanen from Saipua ,NYC she is my top one. Mary Lennox, Berlin, she is sublime. Azuma Makoto, JP. from another world.
What is your Motto?
L: Live and let die.
CH: Get to know me and caring (in every sense).
Also get to the roots of the things i am enjoying now a days (is a secret but we are going to try plant our own flowers. We can't wait to get dirty... so much to learn)
Where & Whom would you like to have a Glass of wine with?
L: would love to have a drink with Janis Joplin. But I will have a glass of wine with Anais Nin.
CH: Right now, i would teleport to Sicily with my girlfriends
What is the latest record that you have listened to?
L: Emotional Rescue, Rolling Stones 1980.
CH: Top power ballads from all times. is that valid? :)
Inside tip from Barcelona?
L: Manolo Bars <3
CH: Go in all the emblematic places in the city, is so quiet right now. Everyone is on the beach.
