NOËL

Christmas is almost upon us, as Paris is covered in snow - some photos from the month - my apologies for not havng many entries but there was much to be done these past weeks.

Merry Christmas and happy new year!

(crossing my fingers that santa will not let my plane get canceled...)

THE NIGHT

Went out to Ferdi's for dinner last night followed by Mathi's, and a failed attempt to visit a party at Maxim's which was already over upon arrival. Some photos of the evening and especially lovely Miss Julie.

LE WEEK-END

Had the time to visit the Musée d'Orsay this weekend, as well as Costes bar. Some photos.

LOUIS KAHN

Recently trying to find inspiration from my native city of Philadelphia, I fell upon an interesting bit of information. Louis Kahn, a brilliant architect from Estonia, was based for a very long time in Philadelphia. If you are not familiar with his work, here are some of his famous pieces.

MEMPHIS DESIGN

Went to the gallery Alaia to see the Memphis exhibition. Here are some shots.

RUGS

Today I felt like I had to look around for some art deco/art nouveau rugs. Here are some of the results. Why may I look at rugs? Well, the colors and illustrations I find to be quite often spectacular in their richness as well as simplicity, and there is much to help the creative mind in his or her eternal quest of beauty. 

Frida Hansen - Danaids Jar - 1914

Edward Trojanowski  - 1925

Unknown - 1930s

Uknown - 1930s

THE ROOM MAGAZINE

Dear Reader,

There are a lot of fashion magazines today, and that's wonderful. However, there are few that I can recomend as far as content and overall layout goes. The Room, a Hungarian magazine, is one of those few that I love. Take a look at their page.

TAMARA DE LEMPICKA

What better way to start off the day than with some Lempicka paintings. Did you know Lempicka was from Poland?
