Oh Herve!
Oh Herve!
I would kill for a Herve Van Der Straeten piece, I know its a bit extreme but anyone that sees his work feels the same way.
Studied painting at Le Ecoles des Beaux Arts, he started his career with jewellery design which am a collector of and always get such nice compliments on. His jewellery have a very architectural and geometric look to them , made of bronze or gold which give a beautiful glow against the skin.
He then transitioned on to Furniture and lightning , made in house by his highly skilled craftsmen , with such exquisite precision and meticulous attention to detail , I am sure that his work will be a future classic.
Herve has received numerous awards including the esteemed Chevalier des Art et des Lettres and the L’Entreprise de Patrimoine Vivant .
His line is represented by the wonderful Ralph Pucci International with location both in New York or LA, or you can make an appointment at Herve Van Der Straeten Gallery in Paris. For the Jewellery you can buy it at Neiman Marcus , Bergdorf Goodman in the USA or Erickson Beamon in London.
Just Splendid xo

"In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer." Albert Camus
Its that time of year again, tomorrow is the Winter Solstice and the end of the Mayan Calendar, fear not as it is just the dawning of a new era and beginning of a new world. Wipe your slate clean and plant magical seeds, watch them grow with the wonder of all that is newborn and pure. Celebrate using your imagination that you are walking in this mystical snow covered mountains on your way to a nice cosy drink in your chalet with a roaring fire. If you could jump into one of these images which one would you chose?
Have a Happy 21.12.12 xo

Icelandic Illustrator, Graphic Designer, Typographer & Artist Siggi Eggerssson's work makes me smile, not only is he extremely talented, but his work is fun and imaginative. Love his repetitive geometry but softened with rounded shape, you could think that his work was vintage in some aspects but yet the colours are so vibrant and modern that makes it all come together to such a great effect.

Colour Me LULU
Should your glance on mornings lovely
Lift to drink the heaven's blue
Or when sun, veiled by sirocco, Royal red sinks out of view,
Give to nature praise and honour.
Blithe of heart and sound of eye,
Knowing for the world of colour, where its broad foundations lie.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The lovely Lulu de Kwiatkowski, She paints, she designs fabrics,wallpapers, dinnerware, pillows , rugs, bedding and my favourite of all are her collages that she transformed into a handwritten and hand painted journal, travelogue, bio, titled LULU all created on from her kitchen floor.
All this amazing work and a mother to three boys, I should have paid more attention when we were in art an sculpture class together at school!
To view more of her work go to her website and wonderful blog where I was inspired to do this post,
Brava xo
