My Favorite Things

In a short time, the young British developer Gabriel Chipperfield—son of famed architect David Chipperfield—has established himself as one of London’s ones to watch, thanks to a roster of international projects, which include the renovation of Chiltern Street’s treasured newsstand Shreeji, as well as the design and construction of artist Tracey Emin’s Margate painting-and-sculpting studios and his first hotel venture, the nearby, art-filled Fort Road Hotel. Here, Chipperfield, ever the aesthete, lets AIR MAIL in on his top selections of the moment

Botot

$12

Natural European Toothpaste

“This is our all-time favorite toothpaste. We have never been able to find it in a shop, so I really depend on Amazon for it.”

Manhattan Toy

$210

Celestial Star Explorer

“We have a 14-month-old, and Maisonette is a great one-stop shop for anything we might need for him. We love their selection of wooden toys, like this activity center.”

Thousand

$145

Chapter MIPS Helmet

“I have gotten really into cycling since Covid; these helmets are very slick.”

CQP

$285

Men’s Racquet Sr Suede Sneaker

“If I can get away with it, I prefer to wear smart trainers over a more stuffy formal option, so navy blue CQPs are my go-to!”

Khaite

$1,680

The Scarlet Cardigan

“My wife loves Khaite’s sweaters and practically lives in them once the weather gets fresh again.”

Rimowa

$1,025

Check-In M Suitcase

“Our entire family travels with Rimowa, which is always reliable. My wife can overpack hers, and it still manages to last.”

William Finnegan

Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life

“I am an aspiring surfer; I don’t know how to surf, but I love the sea and the origins of surfing culture. I have been recommended this book too many times to ignore reading it now.”
