Mirrors and clocks: prettify your walls!

Mirrors
I have always adored mirrors, they reflect the light and are like jewellery for the walls. In fact, I think every room should have at least one...I hope it is not a sign of vanity!
Anyway, here is a selection of unusual and beautiful pieces that I spotted at Maison & Objet in Paris:

  


Sturm and Drang Gals Italia designed by Piero Lissonni

Clocks
Again, clocks can become artwork on the wall and make a real statement
Diamantini & Domeniconi are behind the famous Cucu clock seen in every design shop but they have also created these really cool knitted clocks:



Gomitolo clock



One for the children: the Uomino wall clock

And finally, whilst not a mirror or a clock, these diacasan rugs are almost too beautiful to walk on and can definitely be fabulous wall accessories too!

Ploum Ligne Roset sofa designed by the Bouroullec Brothers

Yes, more Ligne Roset products...Ligne Roset unveiled their 2012 collection including the new Ploum sofa designed by Ronan and Erwann Bouroullec at Maison & Objet in Paris.  So sexy that it deserves its own post.   

Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec design for numerous manufacturers: Vitra, Kvadrat, Magis, Kartell, Established and Sons, Ligne Roset, Axor, Alessi, Issey Miyake and Cappellini to name a few.

Several exhibitions have been devoted to their work. Two exhibitions are scheduled for 2011: "album" at the architecture center arc en rêve in Bordeaux (January 27th to March 27) and a major monographic exhibition at the Centre Pompidou Metz, in the fall.
I know where I will be going when I am in france in two weeks' time!

And for my French friends: Deux expositions consacrees aux Freres Bouroullec sont attendues en 2011: "album" au centre d'architecture arc en rêve à Bordeaux (27 janvier au 27 mars, 2011) et une grande rétrospective au Centre Pompidou Metz, à l'automne.

Difficult to choose between these tree colours, my favourite might be the red one - what's yours?

Sofas & armchairs (in the mood for spring!)

I still have so many incredible products that I want to write about from M&O but this week is flying by and I just have time for a quick mood enhancer post (still keeping the theme of French design though). I think it must be the need for light, warms and a blue sky and sunwhich attracts me blue and yellow at the moment! I have spotted this little blue number at Ligne Roset designed by Eric Jourdan - a great combination of classic lines with a contemporary twist. Apparently Eric Jourdan designed the sofa as a tribute to England "Where the most flamboyant of modernity and tradition meet (bowler hat and dreadlocks)". That's is probably why I like it, I share his views!

 



I must say Ligne Roset's collection is absolutely awsome, all those colours bring a smile to my face, here are my favourites:

Ruche



Ottoman



Anneau

Fabuleux, non?
