INTERIEURS' Lighting Artist Jose Esteves in NYC for RE-BORN Exhibit

On May 5th Jose Esteves, Interieurs' exclusive lighting artist, came to our New York Showroom from France to unveil his most recent collection of stunning one-of-a-kind pieces. The "Re-Born" collection, pictured in part below, is the fourth unique item collection Jose has prepared for Interieurs. The last show, titled "Curiosites-Bis," was held November 12, 2008 at Interieurs' West Hollywood Showroom in conjunction with our L.A. opening party.

A few of the intrepid New Yorkers who braved a triple-witching convergence of Cinco De Mayo, threatening storm clouds and Swine Flu Pandemic Hysteria to make it to our New York Showroom for the "Re-Born" Exhibit:

On Friday night, after a grueling week of press meetings and such, I brought Jose and his partner Monique Duveau (see my post below of February 22) to my house in Connecticut for a real New England feast of steamed clams and steamed lobster, cooked to perfection by my exacting Boston born and partly Maine bred husband who insists on remaining entirely unidentified.

Clams, steamed in broth of water, 4 cloves of garlic, 2 diced
sauteed shallots, 5 celery stalks (cut fine) and 1/2 bottle dry white wine

Lobsters, steamed in broth of water, 6 cloves of garlic
4 Bay leaves, palm full of black peppercorns and 1/2 bottle dry white wine

author thoroughly enjoying the fruits-de-mer of the North Atlantic.
