MUSEE JACQUEMART-ANDRE

Interesting trip this afternoon.

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

SALO INTERIOR

Some shots from the Pasolini film Salo (!) If you haven't seen this film I cannot give you and recomendations a part from the fact that it is superb. Especially for the decor...

JEAN-MICHEL FRANK - FONDATION PIERRE BERGÉ YVES SAINT LAURENT

There is a new exhibition at the Fondation Pierre Bergé Yves Saint Laurent on Jean-Michel Frank. I highly encourage anyone reading this (pour ceux qui habitent Paris) to go check it out. I'll be going this weekend.

NENDO - CABBAGE CHAIR

Chou! Usually not into this kind of design anymore but I had to fold for this one.
