La simplicidad de sus diseños se convirtió en su seña de identidad y en una representación material de su personalidad. A través de una pequeña entrevista en AnOther magazine descubrimos mejor esta simplicidad a través de su colección personal: piedras. Margaret Howell guarda cientos de piedras en su casa con una pequeña particularidad, son piedras con unas pequeñas marcas creadas de manera natural que forman letras y números de forma azarosa. “En realidad no las buscas – Si lo haces, nunca encontrarías ninguna.” Una belleza única e irrepetible que hace de cada una un objeto fascinante.
