La Textilerie

When I walked out of the Gare Saint Lazare yesterday, I was rather surprised to see a giant see-through tent by Ikea on the main square of the station. La Textilerie is hosted by 8 seamstresses and 2 interior designers who have lots of ideas for your home to share with you. You can choose from their catalogue a fabric pattern and a design you like for your home (tablecloth, cushion cover, curtains...). Place an order in the morning and a seamstress will make it during the day ready for you to pick up after work. If you have some spare time you can also take part in sewing or fabric customising workshops. Be quick as the pop up tent will be gone at the end of the week...

Eames Plastic Chair

With wood or metal legs, the Eames Plastic Chairs edited by Vitra have become iconic pieces in many homes. We have the white rocking armchair in the children's bedroom that I have used so many times to rock Lucien to sleep when he was a baby. It was a wedding present from Simon's mum and was our first designer chair to furnish our flat in London.This is a selection of Eames chairs from my Pinterest board:
1. Black with wooden legs from La Maison d'Anna G.
2. Mint rocking chair from the French designer Caroline Gomez.

3. A mix of earthy colours from Alvhem Mäkleri & Interiör.

4.White with wooden legs from Remain Simple.
5.White with metal legs from Emmas Design Blogg.

48h in London

I should do this more often. Go to London just to party. I had a fantastic weekend with 12 girlfriends and my sisters to celebrate my (male) cousin's engagement. It was a sort of 'stag weekend' with girls!
Sorry I cannot share the photos of the party ;-) instead I'll show you some great photos of street art typo by Ben Eine in East London on Ebor Street and Hackney Rd (FS) and some of my favourite fabric shop The Cloth House on Broadwick Street, Soho.

A Map of the World - Book

We are so happy to have our paper cut City maps featured in the new Gestalten book A Map of the World - The World Seen by Illustrators and Storytellers

A Map of the World is a compelling collection of work by a new generation of original and sought-after designers, illustrators, and mapmakers. This work showcases specific regions, characterizes local scenes, generates moods, and tells stories beyond sheer navigation. From accurate and surprisingly detailed representations to personal, naïve, and modernistic interpretations, the featured projects from around the world range from maps and atlases inspired by classic forms to cartographic experiments and editorial illustrations.
