"Rituals and habits have become an integral part of my life, especially since my work often requires me to travel. When I am home, these routines become essential to my day."

"While I don't have many rituals, there is one that helps me ground myself every day: breakfast. This daily practice is akin to a monastic habit, particularly when I'm in the countryside, where everything slows down, and there is time to appreciate the simplicity of such a humble routine.
I pour some granola, whip some yogurt, caramelize some fruit, sprinkle some seeds, and most importantly, brew some coffee. I sit and let the day begin, surrounded by the rustling leaves of the trees and sleepy fields of sheep."

"I choose my tableware based on my mood, often opting for pieces that bring a natural touch of something handcrafted. KINTO's NORI collection reflects an artisanal feel, something I always seek in the functional pieces at home."
