LE PETIT CABINET DE CURIOSITES

antiquing in Paris

OK I went to Paris for M & O show but I couldn't help myself I had to go antiquing " chiner "

so I went to "porte de Vanves"

Paris deco off jan.2010 : Pierre Frey

In Paris , Pierre Frey has several show rooms and Pierre Frey has several brands :

I went to rue de furstemberg to discover the new collection

new collection of Pierre Frey spring 2010

boussac collection

sorry for the bad pic

love the double side curtains

Rue de Furstemberg you can visit others brands of Pierre Frey :

Braquenié

in the same show room you will see Fadini Borghi  

Then for an ethnic atmosphere you will go to Jim Thompson

and for a bigger show room you go to Rue du Mail

when I had the chance to meet the famous Patrick Frey  

We are " client privilege " of Pierre Frey , I'm very happy about that

because this brand is very modern , they mix a lot of styles , a lot of range of prices !! 

  

Maisons et objets : No photos

I know " no photos " from Maisons et objets : it souds like annoying , frustrating and boring.
I'm sorry but you are going to read me without having any image .

I want to talk to you about a feeling I had in this show and I want to share .

Photos were forbidden in the show ( I took some , I'm a gangster lol)

I don't really understand the meaning of this idea neither the point of view.

I talked with bloggers about it and I talked with exhibitors about it.

They don't want poeple to take pictures because of copyright , copies in China or others countries !

PLEASE , is it a joke????

1st : without any photos and advert , you can not be known .

2 nd : all theses exhibitors , the most "ferocious" about " no photos were all ready inspired by others , they were nothing new and unforgettable in their stands

3 rd : most of the part of their articles are made in China , and they are allready copies of "something

4 th : the only part of the show where I can " understand " this point of view is " the now" hall where you see design and creation ...

Photos in blogging help us to share and help brands to have more credit and importance into the world , so I don't see why I would give them any importance and any credit .  they just prefer to be copied from magazines and their own sites ...that's up to them.

NB : even the customers with press card had travelled to take pictures.

To read more about : No photos read Rebecca's post

Next post : Pierre Frey, Designers Guild, Missoni , Prelle and new partnairs with photos

Je sais " pas de photos " de maisons et objets cela parait frustant , ennuyant et énervant.
Je suis désolée mais pour cet article , vous allez me lire sans les petites images qui sont parfois si distrayantes.
je veux vous parler d'un sentiment que j'ai eu sur le salon maisons et objets et que j'ai envie de partager.
Les photos étaient interdites sur le salon ( j'en ai pris tout de même quelques unes grâce à l'accord de mes partenaires intelligents et de toute façon je suis une " délinquante ")

Je ne comprends pas l' intêret de cette mesure , ni le point de vue des exposants

J'ai parlé de cela avec des bloggers et certains exposants qui ne veulent pas que nous prenons des photos à cause du copyright , des copies en Chine et autres pays .

S'il vous plait, Mr les exposants, c'est une blague lol lol

1 er : sans photos , ni publicités vous ne pouvez pas être connus

2 eme : tous les exposants et surtout les plus féroces à propos de " no photos " sont ceux qui se sont déjà inspirés des autres , il n'y avait rien à copier car rien de nouveau ni d'inoubliable ( ma mémoire me suffira) je ne vous cite pas les marques pour surtout pas leur faire de la pub .

3e :Leurs produits sont déjà faits en Chine et sont déjà la copie de quelque chose d'existant

4e : La seule partie du salon où je comprendre ce point de vue est la partie now où vous voyez de la création et du design et où l'on peut parler de copyright

A travers les blogs, les photos sont un outil pour partager , elles permettent à des marques d'être plus connu et d'avoir plus d'importance à tavers le monde donc si les exposants ne veulent pas être vus cela signifie qu'ils se suffisent de ce qu'ils ont ou peut être préfèrent ils être copiés grâce aux magazine ou leur propre site.

ND : Même les visiteurs avec une carte de presse ont eu des problèmes pour prendre des photos !

 

New inspiration

I don't go often to Paris but when i go there I'm happy because it is a new breath for me , a large source of new inspiration .

Paris is so surprising , I love to look at new shops , at architecture and more.
here I'm going to share a part of what inspires me this time.
For me Paris is : art de vivre, savoir faire and "un je ne sais quoi "

Marcy asked me about bridges , and I love the ambiance and atmosphere on the bridges of Paris

shops with name I haven't heard before :

orchideiste :

boutique of rêve à porter instead of prêt à porter

I love the dress on the left (it inspires me , you know what I mean)

 

 

the well known and incontournable Puces de Vanves ( I bought some nice pieces )

a lot more things inspire me but it will be the topic of others posts

I want to end but a very INSPIRING meeting :
