Trinity Mouzon Wofford & Issey Kobori

At Home With is an interview series from Salam Hello where we follow some of our favorite pieces into the homes of your favorite style icons, curators, and creators. Each interview explores what home means and the pieces, people, and practices that bring it all together.  

Trinity and Issey are partners in both life and business. In 2017, they co-founded Golde, the superfood brand known for its holistic blends featuring turmeric, matcha, and more. Now based in the Hudson Valley, they’re raising their two daughters and working on Trinity’s upcoming cookbook, set to arrive on bookshelves in Spring 2026.


What are some of the places, cultures, aesthetics, art forms, or traditions that have inspired your sense of interior style? 

We’re deeply inspired by the Victorian era our house was built in, Issey’s Japanese heritage, and the Shaker style rooted in our corner of the Hudson Valley.

Are there any rituals, routines, or practices that make your space feel like yours? 

Because we both work from home and the girls are home with us, we eat three meals together every single day. Mealtime is sacred in our home—it’s a meaningful pause from whatever the day has brought. Even if it’s just a few quiet minutes over rice and vegetables, that break really matters.


We tend to share and see the most perfectly-curated snapshots of our homes — can you share a challenge, mishap, or work in progress in your space?

We’ve been in this house for three years now, and so much of it is still a work in progress. We painted all the rooms ourselves, so there are areas where we’re still testing colors—or where we got halfway through and had to pause for who knows what reason. The week of the photoshoot, we had just taken our living room sofa apart and moved half of the sectional into our bedroom.

We’re tinkerers, and we’re okay with being in an imperfect space. The idea that a home should be exactly how you want it within a few months of moving in is such a fallacy. If we had made all the decisions right when we arrived, we would’ve missed so many chances to thoughtfully put things together over time.


How has your sense of style at home evolved over the years? 

We used to have more IKEA and other “fast furnishing” pieces, but these days, most things in our home are family hand-me-downs, antiques, or things we’ve made ourselves. Our Salam rug is especially meaningful—it’s handmade with impeccable craftsmanship and was designed to recreate a vintage rug we had fallen in love with. 

We really believe in filling our home with pieces that are infused with human spirit, rather than mass-produced to imitate a particular style.


What is the feeling that you want your home to evoke?

Warmth and comfort come to mind. We love hosting, and the highest compliment is when someone tells us our home feels truly welcoming.


What is one thing in your home that you recommend to everyone?

Beeswax candles! We light a cluster of tapers on our dining table every evening as the sun goes down and eat dinner by candlelight. It’s such a simple ritual, but it brings a beautiful softness to something as ordinary as a weeknight meal. A small gesture that adds a sense of ceremony to everyday life.

Thank you, Trinity & Issey, for welcoming us into your beautiful home. We loved experiencing the warmth, intention, and quiet charm of your space.
