Ten ways to make breakfast special (and not only on the weekend)
A special breakfast does not depend on the free time of the weekend; it depends on the attention we bring to it. From east light to the wheel-thrown ceramic cup, from the Viennese tray to the linen napkin, this guide gathers ten bio-architecture gestures for the home that turn the first fifteen minutes of every weekday into a ritual, even one that lasts only a few minutes.
