Derek Henderson Edit

Masterful photographer Derek Henderson creates imagery of natural beauty and classical elegance, selecting bespoke photographic approaches for his subjects. He has created major independent bodies of work that explore and narrate the rich natural landscapes and communities of Australia and New Zealand.

Rosa, his latest book and collaboration with florist Simone Gooch (Fjura), was curated during a week at Matthews Roses in Whanganui and photographed out of the Fordell Hall.

We are happy to share Derek's edit of five Everyday Needs pieces that he uses both at work and at home.

1. Handcrafted Modern

My wife bought the book Handcrafted Modern from Everyday Needs a few years ago, I really like handcrafted bespoke interiors and anything that's built-in, like seating, shelves and beds.

2. Cahier Extra Large Blank Notebooks

The moleskin notebooks I have with me on trips when I'm doing assessments, they are a great size, not too big.

3. Bedside Carafe with Glass

The Tokyo glass is so thin and delicate, I think thats why like it.

4. Wooden Clothes Pegs

Cant go past a wooden peg, reminds me of my childhood.

5. Hasami Porcelain Planter // Large

Anything by Hasami I’ll go for.
