A house on the isle of Ithaca has a special resonance for designer Marc Newson and his wife, stylist and entrepreneur Charlotte Stockdale.
The temptation to finally collaborate on a work project got the better of them this year; last month, they produced a series of “” phone cases based on patterns designed for the cloisonne pieces in his 2019 Gagosian show. And yet, alongside children , it must be added, a great strength of the Newson-Stockdale union is creating beautiful homes.
“I’ve never had a set routine,” he continues. “I design when I can. Sometimes I think I’m good in the mornings, other times I’m not. It changes as you get older – at least it does for me. I used to never be able to get up early; now I’m up at 5 or 6am for the kids. At least the older you get, the less sleep you need.” October next year marks his 60th.Before tying the knot, Newson overhauled his bachelor pad in Paris’s 19th arrondissement, which he’s since sold.
Newson is vowing the Cotswolds will be the last big family reno. He’s also resolved to do less overseas travel for work as the world finally jags out of the worst of the pandemic. And yet, it would seem he and Stockdale just can’t help themselves. Mauve wisteria and fragrant jasmine are busy colonising everything, from the iron handrailings on the crumbling steps and stone fences to the vast patio. Bell-collared goats roam through the olive and arbutus trees.
