french decoration trends fall 2008

After my visit to salon Maison et objets in Paris , for me the fall decoration trends are :*

"Dramatic" decoration , above all black furniture in the Napoléon III style

Original black victorian piece of furniture

 

"dramatic pompadour"

Cabinet of curiosities style , it is perfect that is the name of my blog . This style means a lot of stuffed animals , globes, shells ...

You can check some brands like les objets de curiosité 

 

Industrial ambiance with metal furniture

 

eco friendly decoration with a lot of floated woods and use of things that exists in the nature . I saw some stunning and spectacular roots

 

I want to thank you to Katie from Katiedid for her post about me , I always love to see my photos and reading others bloggers talking about my blog

 

*some of the actual trends were already the "it decoration"

DG:royal collection-royal party

Tricia Guild and her team have created a sophisticated collection inspired by the magnificient interiors of Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, and by works of art in the Royal Collection

 

To celebrate this new collection , we had the chance to be invited to a beautiful party , that took place in the english Embassy , in faubourg Saint Honoré , PARIS

Let's get in

 

this is the classic entrance of the room where the party was ( I appreciate this decorum but I prefer Designers Guild's ambiance)

PARIS ...FRANCE...FRENCH SAVOIR FAIRE

I'M BACK FROM PARIS

IN MY SUITCASE ,  I have Ladurée 's macarons , I have souvenirs but above all I have photos and " tendances " ( trends)

Before to go to a fantastic party , before to go to salon maison et objets , my first stop was for the Prelle's showroom. One of the eldest fabrics factory in France , it was created in 1752 , it sums up perfectly what french savoir faire is .This factory made most of the part of the fabrics in Versailles

They have beautiful archives , it is the perfect place for an antiques dealer who is the daughter of an upholsterer

 

I had the chance to see the exhibition "Josephine or the passion of flowers and textiles"

 

Copy of an order from Josephine

 

archives from the beginning of the XIX th century 

I love this show room full of old fabrics

 of archives (archives...antique but so modern )

of samples

OF BEAUTY in each corner of the room...

 

I love their "mise en scène"

 

Tomorrow I will share photos of a fantastic ...a melange of british tradition and a modern point of view ....
