English EDiTiOnnO.16 July/AugusT 2014

This month, with our bodies numb from the heat,

our minds escape.This is the perfect time to start

decorating the nursery... the altar of imagination...

water, refreshing, smooth, rejuvenating... the pool

we are dreaming of at this moment, your foot

leaves a wet print on the wooden deck, the ul-

timate, ephemeral moment of summer... water

sneaks into our gardens and the grass at the

Royaumont Abbey, an invitation to follow it... the

air that enters the windows of our houses, circu-

lates throughout the rooms, caressing the cur-

tains, seeps between the slats... air, glorified at

Villa Carlos, the impressive residence open to

the four winds... the current climate, in a former

Oberkampf textile factory transformed into an ins-

pired hotel... light, radiant, almost supernatural, of

a garden or a summer patio at night... the human

cultural influence of Mama Shelter Istanbul... The

water, air, light, ephemeral, fluid, subtle, that in-

termingle, vehicles of the imagination, guarantors

of moments that are immortal because they are

impalpable and not limited in time... Let us extend

the summer, unforgettable, time of delights, by let-

ting us absorb, expand through the pleasure and

subtlety of the present... irradiating...

Choosing the décor of your child's be-droom, often means being confronted with your own desires and those of your little cherub. What can you do? You make the choice, in order to make sure that it will evolve into a pleasant and harmo-nious environment? Let them decide, and take the risk that their choices will reveal some questionable taste? Here is a magical solution... and it must be so, given the magnitude of the dilem-ma... Open the doors of imagination, and go to the place where children and parents can find and understand each other. Do you want the key to this won-derful place? Don't be afraid to let your own extravagance run wild, awaken the

child's soul in you, let your imagination wander, and that will guide you to your child's imagination. Remember... you are a pirate, navigating a stormy sea when a siren's song made you capsize. You wash ashore on a wonderful island, with unknown flora and fauna... You're attac-ked by a swarm of pink butterflies, cares-sing you with the light flapping of a mil-lion wings, like those of these bed covers from Catimini. Or you're on a boat, roc-ked by the movement of the waves, the sun shines on the endless blue sea , as tigers roar on the shore. You tame one of them... because everything is possible for the circus star you are, in this room by Designer Guild.

A bed to fit their dreams...

Is your daughter a princess? And you thought you could get her to fall asleep in a regular bed? Give her a bed worthy of her heart, with swirls and soft colours, where she can fully live out her royal status. The "Alice" bed model from Conforama will transport her to the ends of her starry dreams.

And when the imaginary takes shape in the perceptible world, it becomes art. Naturally, without a preferred medium, children express themselves with the tools they are given. A mini painting studio, a drum, harmo-nica and trumpet, some building toys, everything is a pretext for the expression of this blossoming imagination. Creating an environment conducive to the expres-sion of this imagination, means enabling the child to materialise it, in order to live it and share it. A whole program... From "Hape," a mini wooden grand piano, wor-thy of a future composer, with its 30 keys, will perhaps reveal a future musical talent.

Because this imagination, what form does it take? A child watching an animated film is captivated by the story, the fantasy world that unfolds, far beyond the material aspect. So it's not necessary to limit the scope of perception only to the aesthetics of their favourite cartoon hero. You can spread out infinitely, in order to expand their sensory palette. Works of art in the bedroom? But of course! Your child will grasp the subtlety and creative nuances of the art. So go ahead, indulge yourself with bright and colourful works, such as those offered by "Carré d'artistes," which will nourish the wonderful in them.

Where everything is possible...

From "De la Maison," this "Robin" cabin bed, clean and simple, goes with any décor and any scenario... A little house, a castle, Robin Hood's hideout or Robinson Crusoe's hut? You'll find out as time goes by...



E

Cabin beds are big this year. And for good reason... at ease, the little ones can sleep peacefully in an environment like the maternal cocoon. The enclosed space creates a sense of security. The cabin is a place where children can learn to manage their fears, to hide... from the big bad wolf. It is becoming a great way to bring the overflowing ima-gination of little artists to life. Better than a doll house, it allows aspiring actors to live out their own script, at the size of life. Rather than escaping into imaginary dreams, children can fish, cook up, and flush out treasures here; they are at the heart of the action.

The whole body is mobilised, for lear-ning to conceive and perform a move-ment. The cabin is their own little house, which will become, later their first apart-ment, it is a place for experimenting with autonomy. In it, the child can discover and live out their emotions, feelings, and desires, through their imagination. Even small rooms can find space for this child's refuge. With, for example, "Bimo-dal" furnishing solutions, the cabinet or desk transforms into a bed and frees up space for a whole territory of play and experimentation. The "Cocktail scandi-nave" cabin bed, raised up and secure, will make the dreams of the little ones come true.

Soft, countless nights...

The "Calisson " cabin bed by "Moulin Roty" forms a reassuring relaxation space, for sleeping or dreaming... Upgradeable, it can be transformed as the years go by, and smartly follows your child's different stages of development; practical, it incorporates space-saving storage: quality furniture and a good investment.

And when she awakens, and is in a state of half-sleep, conducive to liberating the imagination, her eyes in the sky of her room, with the new "Velux" and "Disney" range, your child can create her own stories using her favourite heroes. The familiar characters, create reference points and a reassuring environment for your child, conducive to sleep.

FOCUS: YOUR CHILDREN ARE THE DESIGNERS!

We have fallen in love with the furniture from "Madame Pop and Kids." The spon-taneous drawings by little artists, stylised and transposed onto canvas, lamps, bed linens, chairs, clocks, etc. with professional printing, resemble contemporary works of art, and give a current look to the room. Delighted to be the author of their own décor, your child really feel at home in the middle of their own drawings and will be proud to present their creations to their guests.

The design trends, in 2014, anticipate the child, adapt to their universe, mate-rialise their rich, creative inner world. Then you just have to be attentive to what motivates your child, in order to be able to create the room of their dreams, because today, the furniture and decoration possibilities for children

are numerous and attractive. Refined, aesthetic, these children's bedrooms value the souls of these budding young artists, offering combinations of colours that are both bold and harmonious, with surprising arrangements, and quality, raw materials, to awaken their senses. Inspiration is guided by the

old and the new. The solid values of yeste-ryear also return to centre stage, brought up to date, they advo-cate for simplicity, to let children express them-selves. From "C Mon étiquette," a sticker ad-vantageously replaces the old blackboard, with its practicality and playfulness, but retains its essential function: making it possible to create freely with little.

Intimate setting, romantic staging,there are some atmosphere that you just can-not forget, that we want to recall at will, since they evoke so much sweetness, pleasure, and beauty to us. To create this kind of atmosphere, eve-ry sense must be stimulated, nothing should be left to chance. The first rela-tionship that we have with a room, is a visual relationship. The look must be flattered with harmo-nious colours and effects to give a first impression that makes you want to touch it, with this set of curtains and cushions in moiré silk from ANNE BEKER.

For a more spring-like atmosphere, we can also focus on transparency and light-ness, with curtains that bring the fresh-ness, like in the SONIA RYKIEL collection. Here, prints of birds and flowers act as a protective filter for enjoying the view of the city while being bathed in a gentle, bucolic bubble. After the visual, touch is awakened, for a room in which you want to emphasize comfort, privacy, luxury, and warmth we love heavy fabrics: taffeta, li-nen, and silk. The 2014 collections from ANNE BEKER and SONIA RYKIEL rely on embroidery and highlight the refined materials with graphic and plants motifs.

Filtering light...

Visit the site: www.storistes-de-france.com

Filtering light... To control the temperature of a room, play with light and shadow, secure your residence, exterior or interior blinds, functionality or aesthetics, my heart swings between the two. The good news is that you don't have to choose, with STORISTES DE FRANCE, joinery today adapts to all configurations and all styles.



E

The fundamental charm of a room comes from the softness and subtlety of its brightness. Creating an intimate atmos-phere, staging a large volume, imagining dedicated spaces, playing with shadow and light, these are the essential functions of decoration. To create boundaries wit-hout partitioning, you can go with interior shutters or curtains. We love the dramatic and subtle aspect of these JASNO inte-rior shutters that lend a unique and very soothing atmosphere to this living room. The natural look of the light wood creates a sense of a cocoon that does not isolate one from the landscape outside, exten-ding it. To delineate without separating,

semi opaque sheer curtains from BA-LEINE ROUGE let light through and punc-tuate it with a plant motif that fits perfectly with the textiles around the room. For this collection, BALEINE ROUGE has arrested nature in a special state. Between the memory of the summer and the call of spring. In this transparency, the body of the plant arises, floating on a wall cove-ring, of hanging patterns. The veins of this vegetation are found in the essence of the JASNO interior shutters, with subtle colours that are the essence of nature, in pure and magnified forms. We feel the timeless fibre, time suspended, floating, and transparency.

Masterlyand monumental...In recent years, the architectural and decorative trend has been toward for large openings, so we must dress large windows while protecting against light and temperature variations. To do this, SOPROFEN brings us a beautiful example of a custom creation with a contemporary aesthetic. From inside, the blinds dramatise the outdoor living space.

Filtering, soften and sifting, providing privacy, all while adding a decorative touch to our interiors, there are VELUX solutions for every room. Day and night, VELUX blinds can create the perfect level of darkness in each room.

FOCUS ON ITALIAN AWNINGS...

The sixties, Capri, Rome, La Dolce Vita, that's what these Italian-style awnings immediately bring to mind. Elegant and clean, Italian awnings or retractable awnings fully integrate and enhance beauty of the loveliest façades. The classic model from ROUSSEL STORE, gives a very stylish look windows and small balconies, they filter and tame the light, by providing a solar brightness and letting the air through, depending on the angle chosen. It's not for no-thing that this is the preferred solution of the oldest luxury hotels, for an incomparable look.

Summer is indeed here, and with it the pleasure of entertaining at home and being outside. Any patio on a building without privacy, in plain view, can be transformed into a cosy little nest over-looking the city, that's the dream of all

the city-dwellers who lack a garden. How do I take advantage of a simple outdoor area exposed to the four elements, you might ask? Here is a beautiful example of a creation from ROUSSEL STORE that combines ingenuity, practicality, and style.

This Vélum horizontal-rolling awning, is built on a separate art deco style frame, is suitable for patios, gardens, or to cover a dining table. Whether you want to protect yourself from the sun or get privacy from your neighbours, you will be the one to choose the opening and tilt of the ROUSSEL STORE installation. Enjoy the summer and the freshness of a starry sky with some discretion.

Alexis Tricoire


Alexis TricoireDesigner by training, Alexis Tricoirehas been exploring the limits of possibility between design and plant, plant and architecture, plant and object since 2006. As a "plant visual artist," a term that appears to best define his work, he's now a major player in a rapidly changing discipline which is freeing itself" to its second generation," by entering large-scale projects. It's the sign of a new consideration of the plant in the collective consciousness for the public space. He stages the spectacle of nature, both inside and outside, for prestigious clients including the EDF Foundation, Macif, the Château de Versailles, Événement Jardins, the Tuileries Gardens... for temporary exhibitions; sustainable projects with Unibail (Shopping Centres in Lyon, Prague, Vienna, Aéroville), Partouche Group (La Grande Motte Casino), Pérene kitchens. He just won the competition to design the Garden of Scents at the Le Havre Natural History Museum.

Mel and KioTalking about Mel and Kio is a challenge.You must speak softly and take your time...It's like stepping into the world of the theatre, where for once, instead of playing history, the storyteller, or rather the storytellers are brought into the abyss.Because in fact the creators, Mel and Kio, often succeed where contemporary art does not dare: they engage in a generous dialogue, offering poetic works that lay bare the intimate and a dreamlike world.Mel is a visual artist. Kio is a writer.Together, they pair up to compose works of a great sensitivity, mingling their inspirations and references. Brought together by chance on a book project, Mel and Kio share a passion for words, rhythm, and lines.So, for nearly 10 years they have created works in which Mel sketches Kio's poetry, while Kio murmurs her words to combine calligraphy with Mel's drawings.

Break free of your bonds,for the best...In the early 1980s, social centres increa-

singly developed recreation for the hou-

sing estate residents. Hip hop comes to

France: DJs, rap, breakdancing, and graf-

fiti invades the streets. The expansion of

this culture finds its place at a time when

the street was the meeting place, where

minds were turned toward discovery and

movement. When you live in interior that

is too narrow, constrained, what do you

do? Stay inside, hidden away, pondering

your misfortune, or go out, live outside...?

Beyond the framework of conventions,

hip hop culture accompanied a new

way of living, in the ghettos of New York,

then in France, in the heart of the hou-

sing estates.

This revival is the source of creation, so

much so that people who had a large

apartment also wanted to find a little

culture at home... Creativity becomes

free, even rebellious... It's expressed

everywhere, especially where it's not

expected. Colourful, playful but inspired,

it positioned itself as an observer of the

human condition.

The essence of the 80s, is fun, disco, parties; movement. In 1982, we danced, moved, and went out. In 1982, urban culture took root in France and interiors were adorned with a look worthy of a Paris subway station. Phosphorescent, off-beat, but also intimate and subdued, design, in 1982, was inspired by an emerging cultural movement, whose style is invading our interiors again today.

Everyone in the street!1982

By Eglantine Bremond


A cult year1982 marked the release of Michael

Jackson's "Thriller" album, and the

theatrical release of two cult films, "ET"

and "Blade Runner." A supernatural wind

was blowing in art, between demons and

futurism, a shadow filtered between the

colours and the glitter, making the lights

even brighter, phosphorescent... After a

short period of euphoria, attention again

turned to the night. "Blade Runner," with

its dark, baroque, captivating world, its

schizophrenic vision of a city plunged into

night time, swarming with an artificial life

in constant motion, lit only by neon signs,

introduced a style that would mark many

cinematic, and even artistic, creations.

1982 is definitely the year of the street,

dark or light, place where everything is

possible, an artificial landscape, created

and lighted by man.

1982 design in our interiorsToday, street art is back on centre stage.

These days, when customising the aesthe-

tic and homes, opposing mass society, the

everyday structure, walls take on co-

lours, but not necessarily uniformly...

Stickers, posters or reproductions of

graffiti or stencils by street artists mono-

polize our walls for unique, free, and

vibrant interiors. In an extension of this

trend, more and more young artists, for

quite affordable prices, will come right to

your home to paint directly on the walls of

your house or apartment, for an inspired

décor, inevitably...

1982 also saw the birth of the Audimat TV

ratings measurement device. While mate-

rial pleasures peaked at the start of the

decade, some artists pointed their finger

to shadow, anything artificial, the endless

race, the illusory quest for the epheme-

ral. Creative freedom, while unleashed at

will in the cities, would also be seriously

undermined by the new constraints of the

coming economy... With this life lesson

in hand, the current design trend appro-

priates the positive essence of this period,

which remains a real time of creative effer-

vescence and freedom.

Hotel Fabric Paris

A former textile factory in the heart of Oberkampf. Between République and Bastille, around Rue Oberkampf, in the 19th century, a new working-class area dubbed Ménilmontant grew up during the industrial revolution. Industrial by day, with its lively craftsmen's workshops, it became lively in the evening thanks to its cabarets. Hotel Fabric, housed in an old workshop, pays tribute to this blue-collar past.



E

The lobby is beautiful, with its cement tiles, the oak of the guest table, and leather of the comfortable Chesterfield.The breakfast buffet was recovered in an old Vosges haberdashery, and a wonderful workshop filing cabinet has been restored for Reception.



E

Hotel Fabric Paris draws architectural as well as decorative inspiration from the neighbourhood's working-class past. Transformed into a stylish designer hotel, the place has lost none of its charm of yesteryear. The metal structures, large paned windows, brick walls, exposed columns and raw materials evoke the trades once practised on the Rue de la Folie-Méricourt.



E

The rooms are as stylish as they are comfortable, their décor feeds on the qualities that have always driven the neighbourhood. In them, we find the graphic forms and industrial furniture of factories, but also precious and colourful fabrics reminiscent of the community gardens of Ménilmontant.



E

Very spacious and well equipped, the rooms feature elegant, cement-tiled bathrooms punctuated by "cool and relaxed" LED lighting in all the rooms, and the outsized ceiling height accentuates the feeling of luxury, perfect for travelling.



E

Access to the rooms invites guests to stroll beneath the signs of a secret

Paris by Night, between the neon signs of cabarets and theatres.

Many of the decorative objects adorning the hotel were plucked

from the second-hand goods dealers of Rue Popincourt close by the hotel.

And then there was light...As in a musical score, the lights from FIREFLY collection by MANUTTI punctuate, give rhythm to, and connect the interior and the landscaped garden of this architectural house.

A solarium overlooking the sea, furnished here with a comfortable outdoor lounge by MANUTTI invites us to relax in the cool night air. The square forms of the table and chairs let you imagine the comfort of the seat rooted firmly in the ground, welco-ming, and offering a horizontal impression meant to be the continuation of the hori-zon. MANUTTI has had the very ingenious idea of completing this picture with white ceramic pedestals that bring verticality and also evoke a monolith, echoing the rocks nearby the patio. It all creates a coordinated ensemble, with the mineral element as the common thread. Like evoking a bright idea, these giant, surprising bulbs from NOW'S

HOME are a clever solution for illumina-ting this outdoor lounge while providing a humorous, playful wink to this very linear space. The roundness of their form harmonious-ly complements this poolside. The bulbs come resonate visually with the huge old Aleppo pine trees, which, like guards, domi-nate the pool. Through a clever use of intensity modula-tion, lights of different shapes and styles, scattered to the four corners of the pool area, emphasize or tone down the volumes. The olive tree is magnified by a NOW'S HOME spot light placed behind the tree as if the light was coming from its matter.

Playful fun, clean, and design, all the cur-rent trends in interior and exterior deco-ration are enriched by the latest techno-logy. These developments multiply the opportunities and offer a wide range in both aesthetic and technical terms. Of all the forms, from the simplest to the most original, here is a beautiful crea-tion combining all the latest trends: Star-Lights, a range of ambient lighting from ASTRAPOOL can be installed wherever you want them. Inventing a spectacu-lar setting, creating surprise or otherwise illuminating a clean space, all solutions are available from LINEALIGHT. Inside or outside, and even on the water depen-

ding on the ASTRAPOOL model. The modules are water-resistant, specially designed for swimming pools, fountains, and hot tubs, with 15 to 24 hours of lighting autonomy. We love the choice of a multitude of colours and effects. These lights give us the opportunity to adapt our environment to suit the mood of the event we want to organise: colourful, tangy, romantic. We also like the master-ful look of the LINEALIGHT installation on these fairytale stairs arranged on the steps, the effect is princely without being flashy. The light is soft and at the same time makes it possible to see each step, for better safety and comfort.

A festive atmosphere…The sun goes down, plunging the garden into darkness.Suddenly a light shines on you, it's a SMARTCANDLE solar Chinese lantern, and scattered in the trees they give off a cheerful atmosphere! Farewell candles, electrical cords and outlets, the battery is automatically charged by day, thanks to the sun, to give you light all night long.

Inspired by the subtle beauty of nature, the new VIBIA outdoor lighting collection was designed to accompany all evening outdoor activities.The use of LED technology as a lighting source allows you to borrow from the concepts of interior design and adapt them to outdoor use. The lights are considered movable ele-ments, to perform two distinct functions of lighting and decoration, as designed by ROYALBOTANIA. All together, you can create original, custom visual scenarios to suit our desires. There are collections that blend furniture and lighting, like from VIBIA. Rational and architectural, lines are combined with so-

phistication to fit into spaces that are both natural and very design. The aim is to surprise while promoting visual comfort. From ROYALBOTANIA, we love to play with shapes and colours and evoke an artistic, poetic emotion that some will interpret as original or romantic depending on the their sensitivity. Creating magic and surprise with its walkway lights that radiate a star shaped light, and seems to invite you to walk down the path.

For all forms, without any style limitation, whether the garden is rigorous or vapo-rous, there is a lighting solution to satisfy the most demanding of us.

FOCUS ON THE WORKSHOP TREND...

The flea market and workshop trend also covers lamps and lighting installations. Many indus-trial designers are employing a vintage spirit that gives acclaim to our good old fashioned light bulbs. The bulbs are bare but still worked at LE REPERE DES BELETTES, and the exposed electrical wiring is sheathed with the finest materials. The approach is "carefully designed au-thentic" the inspection lamps and ceiling lamps are etched and patinated, we also are seeing the return of gooseneck lamps so dear to lovers of art deco, for the happiness of our exteriors.

At a time when all the major chains are flooding the design market with their models sold all over the world, the true design trend is originality, and the crea-tors from REPERE DES BELETTES get it. We are looking for an object by a passionate craftsman, with a unique

state of mind both in its design and in its implementation. Making us fall in love with lamps, lanterns, incredibly unexpected lighting strands, that's the challenge of HIND RABII; we love the lights that remind us of forgotten eve-ryday objects, re-appropriated, magni-

fied, and brought up to date. That's also the slant of LE REPERE DES BELETTES, with elegant inspection lamps, geometric and soft coloured strands of lights, plunging us into childhood reverie. Like the flowers and butter-flies from HIND RABII, that fit perfectly in a clean, design environ-ment and which add a touch of originality.

Around the Pool...

The pool coping, deck, and installations, are the setting for the pool, they give it style, aesthetics, comfort, and safety. This pool deck from FIDERBECK offers meticulous finishes with an exotic wood species that fits perfectly into its surroundings. Here, the asymmetric shape is enhanced by the neatness of the wooden slats.

Once the weather turns nice, the pool regains its irresistible attraction and its surroundings become a real living space. Going barefoot and scantily clad to take a swim, on a soft, decorative surface is a happiness made possible by the latest designer creations. There are mythical pools whose name alone brings to mind luxury and relaxation, and whose mate-rials are instantly recognizable to send us into a unique atmosphere. On the deck, a mosaic of small pool tiles from ASAROTA, with hints of yellow, evoke the good life of the sixties and holidays in the sun. Small tiles of melted glass, enamel or ceramic, decorated with

a black cruciform frieze lend a graphic, playful side to this deck. The ASAROTA pool tiles deliberately contrast with the azure blue pool liner. For a very different, more earthy almost Mediterranean look, after basking in the clear water, we can give in to idleness on the welcoming BRADSTONE pavers warmed by the sun. A table and chairs invite you to relax in the shade of a patio umbrella. The pavers and pool decks are like none other when it comes to enhancing this typical sum-mer space. For BRADSTONE JARDIN, the pool deck is made from a slab of reconstituted stone, for a very natural look.

From a purely decorative viewpoint first and foremost, the swimming pool is an aesthetic asset to the house, even if you only use it occasionally, it brings a plus to the garden. The mere sight of a watery surface is refreshing and invigorating. It can be enhanced by subtle lighting, tiling with shimmering colours, or with desi-gner inflatable furniture, toys for big kids from DESJOYAUX. Designers and pool specialists offer a whole world based around the pool. Having a pool is, of course, a delight for adults and children alike, but the ultimate is to add a spa to your pool, in order to completely transform it and

make it a place of absolute relaxation. As for maintenance, that too is very simple, as TOUCAN offers a range of products to protect the quality of your swim. To help you further delight your body, your mind, and your senses, DES-JOYAUX offers spa accessories to flatter the senses. In its range of accessories, the novelty are essential oils to transform your swimming and massage sessions into genuine aromatherapy moments. De-pending on your desire, you can choose between different fragrances and choose the fragrance that best suits you. If that's not happiness, it sure looks like it...

Easygoing and well maintained...

FOCUS ON POOL COVERS...

Design, rectangular with the pure, clean lines this contemporary swimming pool is pres-ented in a wooden setting. For four-season use, ULTIMA COVER is both a summer and winter cover, and safety barrier. The automatic cover combines many advantages, once rolled up, the ULTIMA COVER is out of sight, respecting the aesthetics of the pool, what's more, it is especially safe because it is not possible to access the water even at the edge of the pool. It literally rests on the pool surface, which enables it to have strong resilience.

Totally in keeping with the times, eco-logical and environmental awareness comes into our gardens and modifies our conception of swimming and the swimming pool. In a wooded area, this beautiful natural rectangular pool is lined with aquatic plants to create a space that

is respectful of swimmers and the envi-ronment. Natural pools are regulated by aquatic plants that also have the advan-tage of integrating into our gardens. The Oase range from LIVING WATER offers a harmonious installation system that inte-grates into nature and evolves with the

seasons and climatic va-riations. New techniques combine the multidis-ciplinary know-how of architects and landscape designers. With the sys-tem of poolside edges from LIVING WATER, it is possible to quickly create gossamer barriers around the pool, but also borders for lawns, f lowerbeds, garden paths. And the chore of pool maintenance turns into the pleasure of gardening...

Royaumont Gardens Asnières-sur-Oise…Created by Henry and Isabel Goüin in a former 13th century Cistercian abbey, the Royaumont Foundation is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary.

The restoration of the Cloister garden goes back to the early twentieth century. One striking feature about this cloister is its size and shape: vastly-proportioned, it is rectangular, not square in shape, with its east-west galleries measuring 48.35m, and 46.80m for the other two. This enclosed space was, until 2009, in a state of very heterogeneous and simplified presentation, with the disappearance of the great yews whose silhouettes previously punctuated the periphery of the cloister. In the cloister's architecture and décor, the plants are stylised, simplified, and suggest the mastery of nature which must remain harmonious.

the Nine Squares garden, with its medieval inspiration, an evocation in landscape form of the medieval world, was designed to host exhibitions on plants, their uses and the views we have on them. The structure of the garden, in live braided willow sandwiched between the refectory and the monks' kitchens, can be seen year-round, and the plants are in placenaturally throughout their life cycle.

The garden is like a carpet of plants rolled out on the ground, without a break in levels, respectful of the registered site it is a part of. Its layout evokes the stone garden consisting of the ruins of the Cistercian abbey. The shape of the square beds was inspired by those of the classic vegetable garden, already in the gardens of the cloister and the Nine Squares.

The composition works by the contrast between the hedges that lend structure to the space (yew, boxwood, hornbeam, hazel, etc.) and the plant border. Six squares, measuring 18m on each side, a palette, and a meadow orchard, structure the 9,000m2 plot which hosts 160 varieties of vegetables, 3,000 plants and 60 fruit trees (apple, pear, cherry) pruned to form four arms, on cord or staked.

The 6.5 hectare Royaumont Park is the result of transformations made in very different eras.The Cistercians were the first to shape the landscape, and the canals that run through the park are a testament to their proficiency in hydraulics and development. Later, other canals were added and some were transformed into reflecting ponds.

Mama Shelter Istanbul: a welcoming placeat the crossroads of the world...

The inspired, humanist trio; Serge Trigano, Philippe Starck, and Alain Senderens, dreamed up and created a "Mama Shelter" in the line of the top Paris and Marseille hotels. The hotel is located in the heart of a lively Istanbul neighbourhood, the city that gracefully rubs elbows with Europe and Asia...

The spirit of Starck is very identifiable in this place, linking artistic creation to philosophical meaning. Ceilings, covered with graphs or texts made in chalk by young artists, are a reminder that prejudice and symbols are ephemeral...

The décor of this place--funny, creative--and the appointments promoting discussion and openness, provide the "Mama Shel-ter" signature. The city of Istanbul, in itself, perfectly reflects the spirit of the concept. A bridge between Europe and Asia, Istanbul, while bearing a unique soul, symbolises openness to the "other," where differences come together to create a new world. It's this new, open world, with a peaceful hu-manity, that the initiators of "Mama Shelter" dreamed of. The hotels, friendly and funny, have one primary purpose: building rela-tionships between people. Mama Shelter Istanbul was designed like a village square, for locals and travellers alike. The home bar

is a meeting place for musical, cultural and human encounters. Large tables wooden encourage animated discussions, side by side. The forty eight coloured buoys han-ging over the bar are a reminder that you shouldn't take yourself seriously, but rather that the essential, the raw, the real, remains in these moments, similar to those of child-ren, where the heart speaks instead of rea-son. On the patio, small pots of colourful flowers, worthy of an adorable grandmo-ther's balcony, graphically distributed across the wall, are a reminder that openness to the new and unity with what is considered incompatible, that is the starting point of creation.

The hotel, located in the heart of the action, occupies the top three floors of a building that is also home to a shopping centre. The entrance, totally independent, gives one the sensation of crossing the threshold into a new world.



E



The huge panoramic terrace, measuring 950 m2, is unique in Istanbul. The breathtaking view of the city, is the icing on the cake for this place, designed with conviction and supported by discovery, openness to the world...


An artist who got his start in graffiti,

ADEK has given rise to a subversive

universe embodied by a colourful and

generous aesthetic, at the crossroads

between street at and pop art.

His nickname (an abbreviation of

"Adequate") and his style were forged

on the walls of Paris over several years,

during which a spontaneous passion

for graffiti cohabited with his DJing

and music production activities.

In 2009, ADEK decided to devote

himself exclusively to painting.He opted

for a studio practice and work on canvas

allowing him to deploy in-depth a vast

imagination which combines urban

culture, pop icons and references to

modern and contemporary art.

Heir to his masters, ADEK is open to

the influence of the colourist work by

Matisse, the geometric rigor of Vasarely,

or Agam's kinetic art.

Lucio Fontana

LUCIO FONTANAAutour d’un chef-d’œuvre retrouvé

Exposition du 26 avril au 21 juin 2014Vernissage le vendredi 25 avril de 18h à 21h

Disparue depuis plus de 30 ans, Le Jour, une toile exceptionnelle perforée par Lucio Fontana, a été retrouvée par la galerie Tornabuoni Art. À partir du 25 avril 2014, l’œuvre sera révélée au public lors d’une exposition inédite intitulée Lucio Fontana, autour d’un chef-d’œuvre retrouvé, dans la galerie parisienne de Tornabuoni Art. Sera également projeté lefilm documentaire de sa création. Cette exposition est concomitante à la rétrospective Fontana au Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.

Le Jour est l’unique oeuvre de Lucio Fontana dont la réalisation est documentée par un film. Les critiques et les historiens avaient connaissance de l’existence de cette œuvre grâce au film témoignant de sa création mais en avaient perdu la trace depuis les années 80. Tornabuoni Art est partie à la recherche de cette œuvre.

Il s’agit d’une découverte exceptionnelle ; Le Jour (1962) est l’une des plus grandes toiles sur fond doré de Lucio Fontana. Réalisé en 1962, Le Jour, est le résultat de la perforation par Lucio Fontana de l’oeuvre de son ami Jef Verheyen, dans la maison du collectionneur Louis Bogaerts à Knokke en Belgique. Le film de la performance de Lucio Fontana sera projeté à la galerie ainsi qu’au Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.

Le Jour est révélé au public par la galerie Tornabuoni Art. Autour de cette œuvre, une vingtaine de pièces seront présentées à la galerie : les céramiques, la période baroque, les cratères, la série des fentes, toutes regroupées sous le titre commun de Concetto Spaziale.

L’engagement de Tornabuoni Art pour les artistes italiens et l’œuvre de Lucio Fontana culmine aujourd’hui avec un double événement, au Musée d’Art Moderne et à la galerie. Ce double hommage marque l’importance historique d’une œuvre de dimension universelle reconnue autant par les institutions que par les collectionneurs. Avec plusieurs tableaux importants exposés au MaM, Tornabuoni Art est l’un des préteurs principaux de cette rétrospective.

Obag': a stylish, trendy accessory in the kitchen!...Obag' has launched its range of original bags for dressing up packaging containing wine, fruit juice or olive oils. It's an innovation that brought home a nice medal from the Concours Lépine, and which will revolutio-nise picnics and barbecues! Red, rosé or white, Obag' can carry and serve up your drinks at parties or summer events. With its clean lines and natural design, Obag' fits in at every festive moment. You can hang it from a tree branch for a picnic lunch on the grass or it can stand on the table during meals, using its base. A decorative object, it can also go to work in the kitchen, to store olive oil. Finally, Obag' is the ideal companion for birthday parties, holding the kids' fruit juice. Inspired by the tradition in Nordic countries, where it is customary to buy wine in boxes rather than bottles, Florence Aobadia came up with the idea of designing a teardrop-shaped bag to conceal unsightly wine container that sat in people's kitchens. www.obag.fr

Villa Carlos, Francisco Simões Architecture studio and KAWNEER

Located in Paço de Arcos, Portugal, Villa Carlos is a suc-cessful architectural ensemble combining comfort and functionality. The design and construction of this villa were entrusted to the firm of architect Francisco Simões.

So that the owners can take full advantage of the interior spaces while having the feeling of staying outside, the architect chose, from the home's conception, to multiply the bay windows and large openings. For this he called on KAWNEER to produce all the custom aluminium joinery.Therefore, aluminium and glass have been the key materials in the design of the Villa Carlos, combined with natural stone, plaster, and wood.


E



Villa Carlos is arranged on three levels. On the ground floor, with a surface area of 220 m2, are the living areas: living room, dining room, kitchen, hallway, as well as the laundry room and bathrooms. In an open floor plan, this level naturally extends outside with an alfresco dining area, a covered deck, a swimming pool and patio.


E


The second floor, about 220 m2, holds the private areas, with an office-study that boasts great light, thanks to the KASTING large sliding panels by KAWNEER.
