The new issue of Est Magazine is all about simplicity. Editor Sian MacPherson is embracing the new year as a time for reassessing the way we live, and the focus on a less-is-more lifestyle is demonstrated by the selection of pared back homes from Melbourne to Amsterdam. As always, we love the Real v Replica section which investigates the differences between authentic design pieces and copies - this issue focuses on the classic Thonet bentwood chair.
Our Editorial Director Karen McCartney (pictured above at Ten Bells) has contributed a personal tour of her favourite London haunts, some of which she visited on her most recent trip to the London Design Festival. Here's a taste of Karen's picks.
Atelier Abigail Ahern: Abigail Ahern has recently visited Australia spreading her design philosophy of moody, troubled wall colours and an expressive decorating style that mixes textures, objects, colours and patterns with extreme confidence. The shop is your chance to buy a slice of her style from ceramics to cushions, throws, mirrors, lights and surprising decorative objects that you didn't even know you needed.
The Duke of Cambridge: This is no ordinary gastro pub. Driven by the passion of its owner, Geetie Singh for organic, seasonal produce, it is the first and only gastro pub certified by the Soil Association. The menu changes daily depending upon what is available, with 80% of produce sourced from the Home Counties. Home baked bread and ice-cream are made on the premises and if you can't make the trip to the UK to sample the cuisine, Geeties' Cookbook: Recipes from The Duke of Cambrdge Organic Pub, featuring her signature hearty British fare, is available on Amazon.
For the rest of Karen's picks, including purveyors of quality household goods Labour and Wait (above), head to the Est Magazine website, where you can also subscribe (for free) to future issues.

Inside Atelier Abigail Ahern.
Ten Bells: Beside a rather beautiful Nicholas Hawksmoor designed church in London's Spitalfields sits the infamous Ten Bells. Infamous, because rumour has it that two of Jack The Ripper's victims were regulars. Although refurbished, the original Victorian tiling and murals depicting weavers adorn the interior. As it is on the corner of Fournier Street, where artists Gilbert & George live, who knows who you might meet over a pint.
