home “I love entertaining, and this cocktail shaker is perfect for mixing a drink for loved ones.” GEORG JENSEN ‘Manhattan’ Cocktail Shaker in stainless steel 21025182, $240. WORDS REBECCA TAY PHOTOGRAPHY ADRIAN GAUT AND FRANCOIS HALARD µ RRP REFERS TO RECOMMENDED RETAIL PRICE OF AUSTRALIAN BOOKSELLERS AND RETAILERS. Born in Duranbah in northern NSW to honey farmer parents, perhaps it was inevitable that Richard Christiansen would become a horticultural champion himself. Since taking over Flamingo Estate, which he named for the fantastical pink house set in seven acres of gardens in Highland Park, Los Angeles, he’s transformed it into a cosy, colourful home for himself and his boyfriend – plus their dogs, chickens, goats and bees. He’s also launched his own brand of body-care and wellness products, and created a community of growers and makers committed to environmentally friendly agricultural practices. WHAT DOES “INNER WORLD” MEAN TO YOU? It’s about abundance and making pleasure a priority. Being able to stop and enjoy a moment, rather than moving through it. We always say that Mother Nature is our doctor, therapist and friend, and by bringing aspects of the garden to my home, I feel more connected to the world around me. WHAT MAKES A PLACE FEEL LIKE HOME? In a world where we spend countless hours staring at screens, and focusing far too much on what things look like, a home should be the place we stop and ignite all our other senses. I want to be able to close my eyes and hear the sounds of the garden echoing, or feel the cold marble while sitting at the bar. A good home is fi lled with inspiration for the senses. An absolute must is an abundance of candles and flowers. I love the ability a scent has to transport you to another world. HOW HAS TRAVEL SHAPED YOUR HOME LIFE? The New York Times once described Flamingo Estate as an epicentre; the best of the world brought together in one place. When we began refurbishing the property, we collaborated with creatives from all over the world. I’m Australian, the architects were based in Paris and the landscapers were from Morocco. We travelled to Africa, Japan and India, gathering all kinds of art, textiles and surfaces for the home, and what we loved was how these countries embrace colour and form. In turn, the house is anything but beige and is an evolving tribute to the globe. WHAT MAKES A GREAT RELAXATION AREA? WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT YOURS? Every Sunday, I wash my sheets with essential oils and dry them in the sun. The garden is where I feel the most centred, so I love having my bedroom emanate these scents. With my scented sheets, my sage candle and my boyfriend next to me; it’s the perfect setting for a relaxing evening. “Linen napkins are a musthave in my home (and every home). Sage green is also one of my favorite colours so I couldn’t look past these.” DAVID JONES COLLECTION ‘Linen Union’ Napkins 23604441, $49.95 for set of four. the relaxation edit... “A fabulous hold-all for your nightstand or in your entryway to bring a bit of Studio 54 into your home.” GREG NATALE ‘Carter’ Bowl 24323976, $180. “I adore Hermès – for their quality and longevity as a business – and I love this charming collection of illustrations from their longtime collaboration with Alice Charbin.” Hermès: Heavenly Days by Alice Charbin and Rachael Canepari, RRP µ $59.99. “Can you ever go wrong with a Missoni throw?” MISSONI HOME ‘Humbert’ Throw 24229779, $760, and Cushion 24229780, $280.
