### A Note About Peter

Following stints designing for premium fashion brands, including Louis Vuitton, Sonia Rykiel and Nina Ricci, he was hand-picked by Oscar de la Renta to take the reins from the master couturier himself. Today finds Copping embracing interior design, juggling roles as contributing editor at *Architectural Digest* and co-creator of luxe interiors label La Carlière.

Explaining his ‘Shelfie’ choices, the multi-talented Copping says, “My selection combines items I’d love to buy for our manor house in Normandy or the pied-à-terre in Paris I’ve just finished renovating with my husband, Rambert. I am always drawn to textiles and porcelain, but I disciplined myself to look beyond these! For me, the most important criteria was that each piece had to combine personality with beautiful craftsmanship.”

Naturalist inspiration for these glazed ceramic planters which come in two sizes and two colours, soft green or glazed brown.

The Rivet Shelf is designed by Jonas Trampedach for Frama. The concept explores creating a super strong and minimal shelf using the fewest components possible: The end result is a practical and aesthetically pleasing storage solution. Thanks to the separate backplate it is easy (and already prepared) to mount on the wall. Available in two lengths, multiples shelves can be stacked vertically in-line, offset or perhaps horizontally to form a modern shaker-style room shelf.
