Maison Object Spring 2011

Ok, so my camera went south on me during the Deco Off.....Not to worry,

I got plenty of shots of the latest and greatest taken with my little coolpix, clandestinely. (Robes likened us to Maxwell Smart and 99)

Here a gorgeous bed from Demeura. Love the headboard, bedding Yves Delorme

The window at the Pierre Frey Shop.

More Pierre Frey...

This was my favorite at the show, in the entrance was a rickshaw with fabric flowers.

This is KENZO> Fantastic.....

More Kenzo, sorry about the clarity but I was sneaking these with my "fountain pen camera", then my shoe phone rang......

Loved this bed with the Kenzo logo on the coverlet.

Another show stopper Missoni Home.

Thinking this was Yves DeLorme ???Not really that wow I didn't think.

But more purple showing up.......

Designer's Guild, they never fail to dissappoint.

Loved this vignette from Osbourne and Little...The topiaries are even in the floor covering. Look at the way the little trees seem to be 3 D.

Also loved this from Christian LaCroix for Osbourne and Little,

no, grey isn't going anywhere. It's popping up all over.

Paris! Arte Pura, OMG!

Ok, you all know we love Arte Pura, this line of gorgeous Italian bed, table and bath linens made in Carpi, Italy. We are so excited to give you a this first peek of more incredible new things to come. We are still the only source in the country for these fabulous designs from Daniella Delavalle, the creative force behind the line. Their display at the show was a SHOW STOPPER and mobbed.

We made sure to get there the first day as we hadn't been there for a year,

and had the pleasure of introducing this fabulous line to customers across the country

last March.

Remember this fabulous puckered stretchy slipcover we brought in for wooden chairs?????? Well it is crazy popular and is available in 32 colors, two new of which were introduced at Maison et Object.

What we didn't realize is not only can you tie to the legs of the chair but it is made so that you can take the extra strings and ruch up the sides to adjust to many different styles of chairs...

We even tried on some of the old Ethan Allen chairs with the curved Napeoleon top like the old Pottery Barn Chairs..... Gorgeous......(by the way we have had a parade of people bringing their wooden chairs to try these)

Here they are! The Spring colors! A wonderful pale coral that looks like the inside of a conch shell and a new pale butterscotch that they are pairing with white. We saw that color a lot at the show, and a lot pairing with gray, which in my opinion, is still very prevalent in many aspects of design because of it's versitility. It is still everywhere and being used in more and more innovative ways. What makes this slipcover more exciting than before?????? Well, THIS!!!!!!!!!

Now the Evento slipcover comes at no extra charge in this fabulous summer bag!!!!!!!!!
Stay tuned for more and if you want the new pictures of Arte Pura from the show email us. We are going to mail out to our AP Fans in the US and Canada shortly after we have all the information. They are as excited as we are! You won't believe how innovative the new offerings are.
Also, here on the blog we will have pics as promised from names like Pierre Frey, Designers Guild/Osbourne and Little, Christian LaCroix, Missoni, and the new direction from Flamant.........
AND A very provacative surprise.... Stay tuned!
