Schönbuch: A fan of vintage and of art deco architecture, she integrates elements of both into her designs. They can also be seen in the items in her treasure box.

-For me the treasure box is quite literally that: a box of treasures. It’s where I keep all my favourite things, like the earthenware pot my mother made, which always reminds me of her, a pair of Ahlem sunglasses and a Byredo lipstick, says Susan.

-I also keep things that inspire me in my work there. The shoe and the binoculars, for instance, are from my vintage collection, and their colours and materials inspire my new designs. And there’s another wonderful coincidence: the Porte Dorée clutch from my collection fits right in the middle of my treasure box. I put different coloured ones in there, depending on the time of year.

-I opted for the treasure box in black because it goes perfectly with the 1960s vintage teak cabinet below it. I find the black creates a nice contrast and really brings out the other interior pieces.
