Thought you might like to see these bright beauties! We were commissioned by Paris design store {the collection} to create a set of retro tea towels. It was fun, we came up with all sorts of ideas, shapes, colours and they settled on these. We’ve road tested them on our twentieth century saucepans and they’re doing a great job.

A while ago I promised some continental news from the Paris design show and now we’re post chicken pox, I can deliver. We ate croissants morning, noon and night (Granny, Wilf and I) and ended up sharing a bed in our tiny rented Montmartre apartment which was interesting with a fidgety 20 month old, but all in all it was fun and enlightening. It is a vast show with too many beauties to put on one blog post, so here are some treats from the Belgium contingent for starters…

Everything about Domani’s stand was inspiring – products, display, lighting, even the giveaway sweeties were well received.

Ateliers Bodart & Vange had some innovative products too, in particular Christian Desile’s folding chair and the slinky style bench by Charles Kaisin.

Atelier Vierkant’s creations are bold and beautiful, perfect colour and form. Oh to have a huge garden and an even bigger budget.
