As an interior designer, I've spent years asking myself one question: should I create, or should I uncover?
We live in an era obsessed with the new—new collections, new drops, new aesthetics. Yet in that relentless forward motion, we've passed by entire worlds of objects that already exist. Pieces made with intention, with craft, with stories embedded in their form. Forgotten not because they lost their beauty, but because we stopped looking—or perhaps never started.
That tension is what led me to Seven Lamps. I realized my creativity isn't diminished by sharing what others have made—it's fueled by it. Every forgotten object I find is a small act of rescue. A reminder that beauty doesn't expire, and that objects made decades—even centuries—ago can still transform the way we live today. In a world where heirlooms are increasingly rare, these objects carry memory, care, and ritual across generations—reminding us of a way of living that values time, intention, and continuity.
This journal is where I share that search: the finds, the stories behind them, and the quiet argument I keep making to anyone who'll listen—that the most extraordinary things are often already here, carrying within them a kind of ritual, a way of making life more intentional, one beautiful object at a time.
