Book description
"We're grateful to Yumiko Sekine of Fog Linen for introducing us to a new world of quietly beautiful household and clothing essentials from Japan. At Remodelista, we've all incorporated her subtle, refined, unshowy, and eminently useful pieces into our everyday lives. Now, in Simplicity at Home, we get a further glimpse into her design philosophy and her devotion to sustainability and slow living-plus a first look at her enchanting new Tokyo home."-Julie Carlson, Editor-in-Chief, Remodelista"As a longtime fan of Yumiko's and a loyal customer of Fog Linen Work, I am thrilled for this book. These pages synthesize the minimal, beautiful, and gentle philosophy that drew me to her work to begin with. At a time when the world feels chaotic, Yumiko's Japanese rituals and ideas bring calmness and purpose."-Aran Goyoaga, author of Cannelle et Vanille"Yumiko has been a part of my home for the better part of a decade-and it's more than just her Fog Linen Work towels, aprons, and napkins. It's her sensibility, captured beautifully in this book. Simplicity at Home embodies the idea that a pared down life of intention leaves space for all sorts of moments, magic, and rituals to be explored."-Heidi Swanson, author of Super Natural Cooking jQuery(function() { jQuery( "#tabs" ).tabs(); });
