As admirers of Justine Cook’s distinct brand of “detailed minimalism,” we were intrigued to learn of a new rental project from the creator of Harp Studio—the diminutive Mole Cottage, available for stays.
Cook uses her collection of natural ephemera, including Baobab seed pods, bleached berries, Sudanese ladder seed pods, and structural dried stems, as decor throughout.
The cottage is tucked away down a small lane in the Welsh border town of Presteigne, on the banks of the River Lugg.
Cook’s Campaign Sofabed takes pride of place in the living/sleeping area.
Come evening, the sofa unfolds into a capacious bed.
The small but perfectly configured kitchen has been fitted with worktops made from reclaimed scaffold boards.
A mix of vintage flatware and cooking utensils are displayed in vintage marmalade jars.
