Homing In

Tom Broughton: Founder of Cubitts

Welcome to the Isokon penthouse, home of Tom Broughton, founder of modern spectacle makers Cubitts. It’s no surprise Tom chose this iconic building, which he bought via the Modern House in 2018, as his first pick of top three homes. We explore the charming economy of the design, how to furnish the museum-quality space and the appeal of living in a building that once operated as the de facto London campus of the Bauhaus for the German school’s émigré faculty staff.    To find out more, please follow <a href="https://www.themodernhouse.com/journal/the-modern-house-podcast-episode-two/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">this</a> link.   Subscribe to<a href="https://www.themodernhouse.com/newsletter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> The Modern House newsletter</a> for weekly interiors inspirationFind out more about Matt Gibberd’s latest book, <a href="https://www.themodernhouse.com/shop/a-modern-way-to-live-by-matt-gibberd/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A Modern Way To Live</a>   Hosted on Acast.
