Jonathan Adler guest edits Livingetc's June issue - here's what to expect
Interior designer, TV presenter, potter and bon viveur has become the first ever guest editor of Livingetc, filling our pages with his creative genius

Interior designer, TV presenter, potter and world-renowned decorator Jonathan Adler has become Livingetc's first ever guest editor, overseeing the features and art direction of our June issue, out now.
And what an issue it is. Brimming with modern interior design ideas straight from the brilliantly creative mind of Jonathan, he wanted it to feel like "sorbet for the soul", or a wonderful palate cleanser between the difficult past year and good times that are hopefully ahead.
