Mother's Day Muse — Jiho Yun
We spend a slow morning at home with Jiho and Eden...
A cherished part of our Tessuti family, photographer and founder of Common Garden Jiho Yun is this year's Mother's Day muse, photographed by Greta van der Star at home in Sandringham, with her bright and hilarious four-year-old daughter Eden...
Having moved to New Zealand twelve years ago, Jiho and her husband, Sam of Walk in The Park, immersed themselves in the creative community of Auckland, and have since collaborated with many thriving artists and projects...
Their home in Sandringham is warm and thoughtful, just like its occupants, and filled with objects that stimulate memories and friendship. Jiho is a quiet master at all things one can do with their hands: cook, mend, arrange, gift, care. Trained as a cook in New Zealand, Jiho has a natural ability to conjure flavour and intrigue to both her savoury and sweet dishes. It is a passion that she enjoys with her daughter Eden — who has inherited Sam's gorgeous wide smile, and Jiho's enthusiasm for cracking a joke...
We document a slow Sunday morning with Jiho, as she potters her way through grounding activities, such as decorating a cake, picking guavas, and reading favoured books...
