To say we live in uncertain times is an understatement. The past few weeks have made a distant and abstract fear a present and concrete reality for all. And while this should never be some perverse, top trumps game of human suffering, there are those who are sure to feel it more than others.
Over the years, we have had the fortune and favour of standing in the company of impassioned crafters, creators, freelancers and makers. We’ve forged friendships with small businesses that boast big plans and even bigger hearts. From bar top to showroom, factory to penthouse, atelier to ballroom, we’ve travelled far and wide to celebrate the narratives of every sector with warmth enough to open its doors to us. We have done so not for the size, scale or stature of the business, but for the convictions and visions of the people that stand behind them. All of which is to say that this is very, very personal.
