Jules’s repaired radio
A listening thing with a connection beyond the room. Belongings carry traces of neighbours as well as their everyday uses.
Esmé’s listening room · Orchard Court
A little room
for listening.
Esmé has gathered music for supper and would rather have company while she changes her mind. Help her make room for the records, and stay to listen.
Your neighbourEsmé
Make room for records, listening things and small comforts.
Music for supper
A visit with Esmé.
Esmé’s dry humour goes with decisive taste and a music collection with room for surprises. She invites you to share the listening while you help arrange what she has brought out. Her opinions are plentiful; agreeing with them is optional.
Records, listening notes, comforts and tea things are gathered for the occasion. Arrange a sleeve upright or lay it somewhere useful. Keep a few choices close enough to enjoy, with room around the fixed furniture for the things she reaches for.
Jules’s repaired radio, Noor’s notebook and Mira’s scarf connect this room to the people next door. An afternoon with Esmé gives you another familiar door to knock on. You can leave with records still in the carrier and a welcome to return.
Noor’s notebook
A small link to someone whose observations often find their way onto paper.
Mira’s scarf
A familiar textile among records and books. A room can hold practical things and reminders of company at once.
A welcome, in your own time
Good company can arrive before everything is put away.
Move things, try another place and Undo when you change your mind. A visit can end before the room is fully tidy.
