At Home with Tess Ward
Tess Ward is a cook, mum and farmer. She lives on the ‘Gut & Bösel’ farm in East Brandenburg with her husband, two children and her dog. Here, tradition meets modern design - the country house look gets a stylish upgrade.
AGROFORESTRY AND CO. - The regenerative farm Gut & Bösel
‘Since 2016, I have been trying to prove that agriculture really is the key to solving some of the global problems of our time. It's not just about food, but also about health, biodiversity, rural development and education.’ - Benedikt Bösel
RETRO VIBES IN THE DINING AREA
70s flair and geometric shapes meet high-contrast black and pink.
Favourite piece? SISSI. ‘It's perfect for the kids to climb on and it's very comfortable if you want to sit at the dining table for a long time.’
‘I don't think it's just about where you live and how the interiors are designed in order to live beautifully. But we live through our eyes and our senses. That's why I think it's important to have a place that is calm, peaceful and pleasant.’
GOOD VIBES ONLY
Natural materials, cheerful patterns and romantic details come together in the living room!
THE KITCHEN OF A COOK
‘I think that the table setting and the staging of a meal are just as important as the food itself. Maybe it's controversial for a chef to say this, but you eat with your eyes first.’
