Henry Bourne photographs his home in London for the Spring 2012 Design issue of T Magazine. Bourne shares the mid-19th century house with his wife, designer Harriet Anstruther, and their teenage daughter. Anstruther restored the late-Georgian architecture of the house and mixed traditional and modern furniture and accents for the décor. Art hangs everywhere; both old and new art work Anstruther and Bourne collect, and Bourne’s own photography. His studio is on the basement level and it opens to a garden courtyard. Bourne calls the house the best of both worlds. He explains, “I would say I’m a modernist, but I love the Georgian aesthetic — especially when it isn’t filled with Georgian things.”

The Selby photographs the rustic interior and menu of Brooklyn restaurant Isa for his latest Edible Selby column for T Magazine. The woodsy eatery has stripped-down interiors with exposed tree branches and piles of firewood. The menu features tapas-sized dishes and entrees, such as raw scallops with apple and celery and beef tartare with smoked oil and juniper berries. Taavo Somer, the architect behind Freemans in downtown New York, and Ignacio Mattos, the former chef of Il Buco, run the restaurant. Both use the word “primitive” to describe the food and the space. The Selby photographed Somer and Mattos as they prepared meals and the menu. He also added one of his signature drawings, this one of a caveman, as a nod to the restaurant’s simple theme.

Bobby Fisher captures artist Ashley Bickerton at his home in Bali for T Magazine’s Holiday 2010 issue. Bickerton is a former 80s wild-child artist from the Neo-Geo movement. Short for “new geometry”, the movement was defined by Bickerton, Jeff Koons, and Peter Halley and was a mix of pop, minimalist, and conceptual art. He moved to Bali full time in 1993, searching for a refuge close to sea and surf. During Fisher’s visit, Bickerton was at work on new art for a spring show in New York as well as picking old art to be featured in an upcoming book.
