MAISON SPRING
World of Interiors, my favorite magazine’s June 2013 issue is presenting beautiful swatches under the title “Human Nature” stressing that “a plethora of pictoral fabrics …. celebrates our desire to make stylised representations of the world”. Once again Nicole Fabre’s Manon here in Bleu Anglais (also available in Rouge Turk, Safran, Purpura and Ardoise) representing a sweet french farm scene probably loved by Marie Antoinette on 100% hand loom woven and hand printed linen. 
Vogue Living
One of my favorite interior design magazines, Vogue Living Australia, featured a beautiful room with a gorgeous fabric by Nicole Fabre called Grand Crocus (the two mid century chairs at the back). It is a pure beauty, a “spring concentrate” of a pattern. Hand loom woven and hand printed in France, 100% linen it’s very tempting to make everything out of it.

I have tried a few things….
a bag prototype for Spring Finn & Co,
a pillow for the studio…
The design comes also in Petit Crocus, which is the same print on a smaller scale.
Available through Maison Spring, bien sure!
Marylene Tortora and her “Glacés”
Marylene, the “queen of cement” as we call her on the Cote d’Azur has just launched a precious collection of cement tiles that can be used as a decor or integrated to floors and walls, indoors and outdoors.
All in finesse, these Glacés can climb on your walls, become collector items for design addicts and survive cosily in mini-series in your interior. Soon available through Maison Spring in Minneapolis!
A graduate of the Ecole des Beaux Arts de Marseille, Marylene has made the cement interiors (floors, bathrooms, kitchens..) of the most beautiful homes in South of France.
