Luke Edward hall: the artist and designe...

Matt Gibberd and The Modern House
About this episode

Luke has kindly invited us to his house in the Cotswolds, which he shares with his husband, Duncan Campbell, and a pair of enthusiastic whippets.  


I was intrigued to learn that this modern-day dandy comes from a bog-standard commuter town, and like many of the people I talk to on this podcast, his creative impulses offered a route out of mediocrity. 


He tells me his very personal backstory of being estranged from his father at a young age, and what it was like to come out as gay to his family. 


We talk about his witty, whimsical interpretation of the English Country House Style, why he believes you should invest yourself financially and emotionally in a rental, and why he chose to paint his London flat in ‘Pepto-Bismol pink’ before getting rid of it a few days later.


This episode was recorded in person at Luke’s cottage in the Cotswolds.
