John Pawson and Nicolas Schuybroek chat about the fruits of their collaboration with Obumex and When Objects Work, presented at Milan 2022.

We speak with architectural designer, John Pawson, about a change of pace, the rituals of entertaining and why he would encourage getting into architecture.

John Pawson designed his private home in i Notting Hill, London, from 1992 to 1994. From outside, the Victorian townhouse appears completely unaltered, but the interior has been transformed in accordance with classic Pawsonian principles. The home appears as a clear example of the designer’s minimalist approach to architecture and interior design.

This house on the shore of Lake Drevviken takes the form of a simple box, with an enclosed courtyard at the back and a terrace to the front. Uncompromisingly contemporary, the architecture is nonetheless a quiet presence in the landscape.

John Pawson designed his private country home in the Cotswolds as a minimalist retreat, using Dinesen elm to resonate with the history of the place. Home Farm was originally built in 1610 as a farmhouse with a farm cottage, a barn and stables set in an apple orchard with a small pond. Pawson converted the buildings and rebuilt everything in his own design. At Home Farm, which was completed in 2019, Pawson was his own client, free to realise his architectural visions.
