It never ceases to amaze me how adaptable we are. From the bush of Africa to the world of consumerism and contemporary design. If I were to choose...I would run (or rather fly) back to Africa. I miss it terribly...
Working on a few interior projects and constantly on the look at for new products and technology, I was, first thing in the morning, at the doors of the Javitt center in New York City for the 2013 International Contemporary Furniture Fair. It was actually wonderful as I walked the aisles of the show, I bumped into my favorite people, Clodagh, the most talented designer of our times, Arlene Hirst of the NY Times and a judge for the show, Tucker Robbins...we could talk for hours... just to name a few. I realized how long i have been in this industry!
I ended up placing some orders for the showroom, found great technological products for my clients.
I forgot my camera and my iphone ran out of battery...I guess i am still in lala land....
Forgive the poor quality of the shots but i captured what caught my eye and the contemporary trends...

Africa withdrawal...I know it well. But how phenomenal that you can move between two such amazing worlds, Francine.
ReplyDeleteOh WOW Francine ..... such amazing pieces. I am sure that I would have walked around with my mouth open !! .... and, I love the wallpaper. I have seen the tin tile one .... that and the script one are my favourites.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as if you are having the same sort of weather as we are .... I managed to get out into the garden this morning to plant a few things that I bought a while ago.
Happy planting and here's hoping that the weather cheers up soon. XXXX
Beautiful lighting, Francine. I love the piece you will have in your shop. All so different, which I love.
