8. Sarah Sherman Samuel
38:36||Season 2, Ep. 8Sarah Sherman Samuel’s approach to her career is a modern one - she didn’t have a set path and moved across the country a couple of times, going where the wind took her and landing jobs where she could when she arrived. But her flair for taking a good photograph, coupled with some early career training in spatial design, saw her deciding to renovate her own home and document it online.Her California sunshine aesthetic resonated, and her project began to be shared and re-shared, growing her an army of fans who still follow along to catch a glimpse of her beautifully lit home - so beautifully lit, in fact, that when we put a corner of her house on our cover, complete with mustard yellow armchair and dappled light, the cover line that summed up her approach simply said ‘golden hour.’Home Truths is a product of Livingetc, hosted by Pip McCormac.

7. Bill Amberg
31:50||Season 2, Ep. 7Bill Amberg’s luxury leather goods - his bags, his purses, his baby slings and his floors, are characterised by their buttery softness, by the caramel tones and bright colours, and by how lovely they are to touch. But although his goods tend to belong in a fairly rarfied world, Bill himself is welcoming, passionate and playful inventor, constantly looking for new ways to improve on the material that has been the enduring love affair of his career. He came of age in London at the same time as Tom Dixon, when there was a punky attitude and anything goes approach to design, and its fascinating to see how that feeling has stayed with him throughout his career.
