HOW DO I love thee? Goes the sonnet by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, which was dedicated to her husband, poet Robert Browning, for rescuing her from a desperate and reclusive lifestyle.
But love isn't just limited to romantic love. It is also the theme of this year's Wallpaper* Handmade exhibition. Handmade's 10th anniversary sees the magazine cherry picking designers and makers to commission them one-off luxury items. A selection of them are available for sale at Wallpaper*'s online store.
On 2019's theme, the magazine's commissioning editor, TF Chan, explains, "The Roman symbol for 10 is X, and X is also a symbol for a kiss, hence the theme of love."
