    A couple of floors up a steep and narrow staircase in an apartment building in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, I find the home of Eyal Cohen. The house is what the Chinese call a ‘walk-up’, a building from the 50-60s with no elevator. The first thing I see as I step inside is a bright and colourful wall made of – egg cartons. It’s...

About Me

Anita Martinez Beijer is a Swedish interior designer and the author & photographer of the book Home Life Around the World. The book is the result of her quest; what does a home mean? What makes a living space a place we call home? How do we relate to and interact with it? What qualities in our homes do we treasure the most? What dreams and desires do we have related to our homes?

"The home should be the treasure chest of living".

Le Corbusier
