Art director, set and interior designer Ruth Bartlett has built her brand Our Bartlett with a strong focus on classic craftsmanship. For Manufactum's Alltagsfreude series, Friends of Friends visited her Berlin apartment to explore the daily rituals behind her work.
Filmed in the bright, plant-filled flat she shares with her boyfriend and dog, the portrait moves between her morning coffee ritual, her workshop experiments, and the handcrafted objects that fill her home.
When your passion and your hobby is your work, then there is no off-time.
Manufactum's Alltagsfreude (“joy in the everyday”) series honours conscious daily rituals through portraits of people who advocate quality and craftsmanship in their everyday lives.
This portrait of Ruth Bartlett, produced in collaboration with Friends of Friends, moves through her Berlin apartment and workshop, capturing the small rituals that ground her varied creative work.
