Staying In
Listen To The Latest Episode Of House Guest
In this week’s House Guest episode, interiors editor Carole Annett catches up with John Sims-Hilditch, the co-founder of Neptune, as the brand celebrates its 30th year of making furniture and accessories for the home. ‘There are two sides to designing something: it needs to be useful and it needs to be beautiful,’ says Sims-Hilditch. ‘I actually slightly fall into beauty being the most important thing in design,’ he continues. ‘Utility falls away but beauty endures’. Tune in for more about how John and his business partner Giles Redman went from selling hammocks to building a hugely successful brand. Listen here
Going Out
Have Lunch At Dante Mayfair at Claridge’s
If you didn’t make it to Claridge’s to try the much-loved pop-up from New York institution Dante, fear not: the residency was so popular it has launched as a permanent restaurant at the hotel. Founded over 100 years ago in Greenwich Village, Dante embodies the essence of New York dining – known for its signature cocktails and American-Italian menu. Book lunch at Claridge’s to try favourites like the Shrimp Cocktail, New York Kale Caesar and Chicken alla Diavola – or go theatrical with the tableside Lobster Linguine. Pair with drinks like the Fluffy Margarita Royale or the Caviar Martini while enjoying live piano music and singers – or nab a table on the secluded terrace for the perfect al fresco meal. maybourne.com
