The vase I did not buy (and why, sometimes, not buying is the most cultured choice)
In a small shop in the souk of Marrakech, I saw a beautiful vase. I did not buy it, and today I am certain it was one of the most cultured choices of my life. Here I share the three-stage test I use to distinguish the enthusiasm of a moment from a genuine relationship with an object.

The most contemporary gesture in hospitality is to build nothing at all. From Madrid’s Gran Hotel Inglés, which began life as a café in 1853, to Thompson Rome, in the former headquarters of the Italian Communist Party on Via delle Botteghe Oscure, and on to the alpine and lagoon inns that keep their wrinkles, Raremood explores why the greenest building is the one that already exists, and why the history of a room cannot be manufactured.
