LA MAISON DE VERRE

The Maison de Verre  (House of Glass) was designed in the late 1920's in Paris by Pierre Chareau.
Behind the translucent glass-block facade hides an interior  like no other. The photography by Francois Halard  that illustrates the book La Maison de Verre (published by Thames & Hudson) captures the genius and beauty of the structure and it's contents as it must have been intended by Chareau. I will let the photographs speak for themselves.

A B C DESIGN INSPIRATION

My first stop in New York is almost always ABC Carpet and Home . Not only do they have a vast and well edited selection of merchandise but also have a very talented display team. I never fail to be inspired.
Of  particular appeal to me is their mix of old and new elements.  For some reason I always seem to gravitate to their 'Industrial' style furniture and lighting. I love the old painted and chipped metal pieces. Most are utilitarian in origin but manage to take on a sophisticated aura in the right environment.
