As the Telegraph Magazine's Design Editor, David writes about the best design for the home. He is always bang on with his choices.To find out more about Reiko visit here.

This is the end of our series "What I Love". It has been such a treat to have some of the most inspiring editors from the best shelter magazines from across the globe being a guest on SnOOp. This series has gone way beyond the beautiful and pretty. Suzanne, Sam, David C, Michael, Paul, Alice and David N have shared design ideas to provoke us to think, make us aware of tradition and craft and to appreciate quality.

I really hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have. As Paddy McGuinness would say... "If you don't likey don't wrtiey"... But if you have loved it then please leave a comment and let us know.

What I Love --- Alice Rawsthorn - Design Critic - International Herald Tribune

I recently rated Alice Rawsthorn as one of 10 Influential Women In Design so it's a real honor to have her contributing to SnOOp and sharing with us what her favourite piece of design is for this spring. I love how she has chosen a book.

What I Love --- Michael Boodro - Editor in Chief - ELLE Decor

I'm really loving Michael Boodro's editorship on ELLE Decor. He had some big shoes to fill and in my opinion he fits into them perfectly. The magazine and website is looking fantastic. Make sure you visit Bernhardt Interiors

IKEA Livet Hemma

Did you guys know about IKEA's blog called Livet Hemma? It means 'life at home'. I'm not ashamed to say I love the IKEA brand (designers don't hate me for this statement) because they get how we really live at home and embrace that. They consider the challenges we face when decorating including storage, cost, functionality, mobility and the want to have a modern stylish home. The one hurdle they face is more and more customers want individuality and quality and lets face it you're not going to get that at IKEA. Or can you? IKEA's Livet Hemma want to show us how our mass produced product can be one-of-a-kind.

Joy Of Living by Max Fraser

It is all about the Joy of Living and in this case giving. Design author Max Fraser has recieved amazing support from the leading lights of the design community with his newest project in helping raise money for Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres. He has asked new and established UK designers to create artwork that expresses the Joy of Living – all starting from a simple sheet of A4 graph paper. The artwork will be showcased at Somerset House from 15-21 March.

Sir Terence Conran, Tom Dixon, Rob Ryan, John Pawson, Max Lamb, Tord Boontji and Ella Doran are just a few names who have answered the call to action and produced artworks that embody the Joy of Living. All artwork is priced at £250 and is signed but the catch is you will not know if your artwork is a household name or rising star until after you purchase it. Habitat have kindly sponsored frames for the artwork so you will be able to hang your masterpiece straight onto the wall.

This is a highly personal project for Max , “After a very personal, emotional journey as I supported my mother through her six-year battle with cancer, I vowed to contribute in some way to mankind’s fight against this disease. Maggie’s recognises that building an atmosphere of calm and celebrating a good quality of life are immensely beneficial to patients, and I know that my
mother would have benefited so positively from its services. Charity founder Maggie Keswick Jencks once said, “Above all
what matters is not to lose the joy of living in the fear of dying,” and this statement has inspired the design challenge and
Joy of Living project.”

Max Fraser said, “The time and commitment that so many designers have already pledged to the Joy of Living project is
truly amazing, and I hope that together, and with the further support of the design industry, we can raise our target funds
to back the brilliant work that Maggie’s does around the country.”

"All I thought when producing these artworks was Love, Love, Love. When my dad was going through everything I know it was the support that mattered the most," Anonymous Designer Until Artwork is Sold.

Hermes Maison Collection

Recently unveiled in Paris, European luxury brand Hermès new furniture line Hermès Maison is to feature re-releases of iconic pieces designed in 1924 by late French interior designer Jean-Michel Frank. This is just a sneak peek at just small part of the collection.

The timeless X-base dining table is one of Jean-Michel Frank's pieces to be re-introduced.

My favourite of the collection is the soft furnishings including sumptuous velvet and silk cushions

The exclusive furniture collection Jean-Michel Frank par Hermès will be launching in April 2011 in US stores.

@mruxndesign tweeted yesterday "In Simplicity We Find Beauty". I couldn't agree more. The cool ceramic and enamel is warmed up and breathes character with the weathered and worn wood. My heart aches for all of the pieces.
