In this guest episode, I sit down with Ali Milam, managing director of Porta Romana, the British lighting and furniture house, to swap some of the best origin stories I've heard in years. If you're the kind of person who loves a historical novel about an artist or architect — the drama around who really painted the portrait, who sat for it, who bought or stole it over the centuries — this episode is going to appeal to you the same way. Every piece Porta Romana makes has a story like that behind it.
Earlier this year, I got to live out a total design-geek dream and tour their workshops in the English countryside. This episode is me bringing you along.
