Morabito...because I love her

I'm in France for a week so I thought I would treat you (visually) with some images of interiors & products designed by my 'interior' hero Jacqueline Morabito...

The last two are photos I styled for Morabito's collection which is currently in our Summer sale and which also includes this beautiful, handmade plaster candleholder.

Moodboard inspired by Paris...

In about 30min, I will head off to Gare du Nord to catch the Eurostar and go back to London. I had such a cool time. The weather was fab, I caught up with lots of friends at the weekend and still managed to run 3 times with Elodie early in the morning which makes me very happy but usually, I can't be bothered doing anything when I'm travelling. 

M&O was tiring, it's a massive show and you spent a lot of time walking but I have found some really gems, some beautiful things for kids that give me butterflies, a gorgeous bag for men and lots of ideas. Until I see you on the other side of the Channel, here is a little mood board inspired by Paris...

 

1. Paris map print 2. Decorative hearts 3. Industrial clip on light 4. Birds clothes pegs used as paper clips

Dans 30min, je vais aller a la Gare du Nord pour prendre mon train direction London. J'ai passé 4 jours géniaux. Il a fait super beau, j'ai vu mes cops' pendant le WE et Elodie et moi avons réussi a bouger nos fesses 3 fois pour aller courir, ce qui me rend tres contente de moi. Le salon était fatiguant, c'est tellement grand et on passe beaucoup de temps a marcher mais j'ai trouvé pleins de petits trésors, des choses magnifiques pour les enfants, un sac absolument canon pour nos hommes et plein d'idées. En attendant de vous retrouver de l'autre coté, voici un petit moodboard inspiré by Paris...

Un Samedi a Paris...

Of course, we went to MERCI on Saturday and we found the concept store celebrating Japan with gorgeous packaging, calligraphy like the Japanese know how, celebrating simple, utilitarian objects, beautiful to look at. 

I kept graviting around their corner for the men, soft, industrial...how I like them, with cashmere jumpers, beautiful leather bags that will last a lifetime and of course the linen corner upstairs that keeps me dreaming and where little by little I'm building my linen collection for our home in London...

To finish our inspiring shopping trip, Elodie and I had a drink at MERCI's cafe, watching people coming in and out of the shop, then a quick visit to Bonton and we ended up running to Zadig & Voltaire's outlet in Le Marais before closing time.

Who is the designer?

I bought this lovely paper garland last week in Paris from concept store Serendipity to hang on my moodboard at work. It is made with paper from Nepal and comes in all sorts of colours. Does anyone know who the designer is?
I apologise for the quality of the photos but I took them with my iphone....

J'ai achete cette jolie guirlande en papier le weekend dernier a Paris chez Serendipity, pour l'accrocher sur mon moodboard au travail. Elle est en papier du Nepal et disponible en plusieurs couleurs. Est ce que quelqu'un sait qui est le/la designer?
