I'm hoping this is going to be easier to visually navigate, and a bit more interesting. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Foundation Louis Vuitton - Paris
Whilst in Paris the other week, we went to the Foundation Louis Vuitton designed by Frank Gehry. This is the first Gehry building I’ve ever been in, so I was looking forward to seeing how the interior spaces worked.
Exhibitions included stunning installations by Olafur Eliasson as well as a show exploring Gehry’s design process. These were fantastic, and made up for the rest of the works not being particularly moving for me.
The internal spaces in the building were a bit of a maze, I didn’t feel like it was a very easy building to move through, and the exhibition spaces felt a bit disjointed. Some interesting use of form internally to create stunning skylights.

Maison et Objet - Jan 2015
 |
Finally getting to sorting though all the goodies I picked up a few weeks ago. This year, instead of attending Milan Furniture Fair, we decided that it would be a good idea to head to Maison et Objet in Paris to see how they do it in France.
|
I honestly can say I’ve never been to a trade show so huge. We only had a day to see everything, but it was so immense I doubt I would have been able to absorb any more. 9 Halls larger than Earl’s Court (threefold!) filled with every permutation of interior decoration and furniture imaginable.
Here are a few of the pieces I thought were really interesting.
 |
| Neri and Hu designed this Modular interior. Beautiful Detailing in the joinery. |
 |
| Nendo's Chocolate Texture Lounge, designed to make you feel like you are in a wave of chocolate. Nendo was also "Designer of the Year" at the show. |
 |
| Gorgeous grey's from La Chance |
 |
| Lights from G&C lighting. LED and they look great in a cluster. |
