Good Design is Alive and Well!
Marc NewsonOrgome Stretch Lounge, 1993, aluminium and enamelCollecting design is similar to collecting art. It can get quite addictive for some. With fairs and auction houses offering the best of traditional, modern and contemporary design, there is no shortage to what’s in store for design enthusiasts, and collectors alike.
“I learned to enjoy design as much as art, if not more. After all, you can’t sit in a painting, you can’t cuddle up with a bronze.”Adam Lindemann

The Weekender: French by Design
“Every man has two nations, and one of them is France.” – Benjamin FranklinARTISTIC LIFESTYLESKnowing how the French usually do things with great panache, one might get the impression that they approve of nearly anything as long as it is done with style, but I don’t believe that is the case. Style is great but savoir faire is so much better. And thankfully, French design carries both elements. To me, it reveals the secrets of fierce creativity illustrated with a futuristic point of view on design at its best!
