In the mood…for a little romance, dream and beauty

Quite a long title, but it indeed encompenses our unveiling of my Showroom INTERIEURS holiday windows and the latest Jose Esteves Show.

I could not have dreamed of a more festive, happy,beautiful party. Champagne flowing, editors, clients and friends talking and laughing into the night. Everyone chatting with Jose about his inspiration and work.

We transformed the showroom into a "cabinet de Curiosite" with webs and stars floating. Exhausted but thrilled, after the last guest and member of team Interieurs left, I closed the door, shut down the light, sat in my favorite chaise and closed my eyes. 2013 is almost over, the thrills, the pains, the worries, my african adventure, the constant fear of the unknown… is it really all worth it? Then I summoned all energy left in my body, YES it is! How lucky I am to have met creative brilliant kind talent such as Jose, my team…yes we bicker, yes I get upset and demanding, but we laugh (especially when I start dancing the twist to loud vintage rock music past 8pm… trying to crunch the last invoice) and I truly love everyone in my team, my work and the little moments of pure elation when we make a difference in our client's life by bringing beauty, peace and joy.

MERCI!

A Bientôt,

Happy Holidays!

Eclectic Lighting by Jose Esteves

I was so thrilled by the turn out for our Jose Esteves lighting show. Each piece is unique and handmade by Jose in his studio in the Perche, beautiful region outside of Paris.
Collectors of Jose's pieces, clients, friends, editors came to meet with him, and enjoyed a wonderful evening in the Interieurs showroom and  out on the terrace. I trembled all day as the weather had promised us a day and evening of drenching rain...thankfully, the rain was only slight drizzle and the sun umbrellas protected guests from being wet.Wine and champaign flowed, conversations and laughter went on into the night. I am now getting ready for our next event on May 17th...

Jose Esteves Lighting Show

Every spring, Interieurs introduces Jose Esteves latest collection of unique lighting sculptures. 
The creative process is by far the most fascinating part of my work. I love my working relationship with Jose as we both share similar sensibility and taste. 
I went to Paris for one day in January to meet with Jose and discuss the May 2012 show. I already had an idea in my head, I saw...organic, movement, mobile, white and black always with a touch of whimsical. On perhaps the coldest day in Paris, we walked the streets of Saint Germain, and visited all the Mid Century galleries. Warming up over dinner, Jose, pen in hand, and me, talking non stop with excitement, the fusion of our ideas started to take form on the paper table cloth of this quaint fabulous little bistrot that Monique had booked for the three of us.


If you are in New York City on May 8th, please join me at Interieurs and meet the charismatic Jose Esteves and view his Night Light creations.

A Bientot,

Francine
