Marie Dessuant

These are a few collections from Paris-based designer Marie Dessuant 

Xià is a bench inspired from the Chinese ideogram xià means low... I love the hot pink contrasting colors, of  wood and white and the hot pink.


 Duvet is a hybrid between a duvet, a pillow and a kimono. How nice would this be to wear?! super cozy and definitly a more chic version of a snuggie. 


                           Etagère 'Y' is a easily movable bookshelf …so innovative, love the pastel colored shelves.



Last photo is of the Soft Fold which is a temporary space which asks the users to take time out of their day to be in the area of duvets, a reading table, a low bench and a lamp.
I really like her use of contemporary shapes and beautiful pastel color. Her design outlook is so inspiring. She aims to create a new way of interacting with ordinary objects, not just showing, or imposing too much on the viewer, but giving new solutions in a narrative way.

Nathalie du Pasquier

 I love the idea of these square shaped storage shelves, and thoughtfully arranged bookshelves, it reminds me of  Nathalie du Pasquier's paintings and other works. She is one of my favorite artists. Her work is abstract yet so playful and familiar. The colors are beautiful. I love the focus on strong geometric shapes, there's just something about her work - it's hard to exactly know what makes it so great!  She is a French-born, self-taught artist and textile designer, her textiles are so inspired! - she is the founding member of The Memphis Group which was an influential Italian design and architecture group In the 80's.

Faye Toogood

studio toogood townhouse interior

After reading an interview in Apartamento Magazine of Faye Toogood, i decided to look more into her work. I am so inspired by her  design aesthetic. Such beautiful geometric furniture, that she designs under her own name, she also runs Studio Toogood http://www.studiotoogood.com/) , she styles photo shoots, does interiors, and makes sets for fashion shows. I really love the design of the townhouse in the first few photos. There is such a poetic flow in her work. She is toogood, like her last name…which suits her work perfectly well.
