Lost beauty
2008-05-29 12:34:00 When I look at the frequency of my blog-posts I see it's going down... From +40 post to -20 post a month this year. And since I want this blog to grow bigger this isn't a good thing.My problem with blogging these days is that I don't have the time to find enough high quality stories to publish. I'm becoming more critical; there is so much out there, but it's all too much and too much of the same. It is, in some way, a good thing that pure quality is rare but it seems to become almost exotic.Where are the exceptional handcrafted, handmade luxury products, the restaurants with extraordinary service and the brands who want to stay small, to keep the controle over the quality?

Family Furniture
2008-05-22 12:00:00 Did toys turn into furniture or did furniture turn into toys? And who is in the middle?The pieces of furniture are the main characters in this Tableau Vivant. A small change on the convention of chairs has granted them a life. This change mainly consists of removing the rear legs of the chairs and sometimes the addition of feet. The chairs become dependent on each other and their environment, with wich they interact and exist in numerous ways, creating all sorts of different situations. Makes me smile.

She is said to be inspired by John James Audubon and Ernst Haeckel, but dives more deeply into the imaginary and darker aspects of the natural world... More About: World , Internal
Style is a question of charm, not nationality
2008-04-23 09:12:00 The menswear designer at Hermès on the myth of French style, avoiding trends, and why you can never have too much cashmere.2. Style is a question of charm, not nationality. It?s not true that French men have more allure or style than American men. It?s just that they dress with more personality. They don?t follow dress codes, and sometimes they mix things in a way they shouldn?t. Like how Serge Gainsbourg dressed, with his reptile shoes with jeans and blazer and white shirt?that?s charm.
