Salon Cote Sud 2016: inspiration nature

With the Salon, finally comes the summer!!! 

This year, the ethno-chic trends keeps flowing; the omnipresence of green in interior design is becoming overwhelming to my taste, but thankfully, blues (and indigo in particular) are « the new black ».

I welcome the continuing development of hand made porcelain and ceramics by many young designers largely represented in my personal pick of stands, enjoy the show…

This year again, Christian Lacroix painted a number of ceramic plates for the happy few. In case you don’t speak French, La croix = the cross..

Ravel is also showing the furniture collection Uluru by Jean-Marie Massaud. I spotted it in their shop years ago as one off’s, it’s now on sale here

Arrosoir et persil

Upcycling metal object, fair trade with Zimbabwe, as usual a must for the garden, although I am not quite ready for that big questioning bird…
