Paris Style Video: Karl Lagerfeld Crystal for Orrefors

 

Irwin Weiner ASID - Greetings from Paris! Jay Johnson and I are in the beautiful French capital on vacation, and that of course means that we're on "assignment" for Design2Share. We never go anywhere without reporting back on residential and home trends, and that includes the latest international hotel scene and other looks in public spaces that will soon influence the shape of home style. While we're gone this week, we thought it would be fun to focus on different elements of French style in select videos. First is Paris-based fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld showing off his crystal designs for Orrefors.

Go to the Karl website for more information about Karl's world of design. We definitely checked out his recommendation of favorite Places and hope to check out several, e.g., La Societe restaurant and shops like Sennelier and Colette

5 French Style Furniture Favorites from Roche Bobois

The Ferre table adds welcome color notes to the otherwise bland outdoor furniture scene.

Irwin Weiner ASID - We're heading to Paris in mid-October, and today the trip has us thinking all about fine French contemporary design. That immediately puts to mind Roche Bobois, a leader in contemporary French home furnishings. Here are some of my favorites from their current collections; as usual, please click on each photo for more information.

The BLOGGER 3-seat sofa's plump profile is daring and innovative.

Love the PLI chair's crisp plexi folds!

Hail the VICTOR 4-door dresser for its wake-me-up-happy color blocks.

These KOBE armchairs are both comfortable and fashionable, a 1-2 punch.

Is Your Wallpaper This Cool and High Tech?

Jay Johnson - If you think you've heard everything in the world of interior design and decorating, think again - enter modern technology. We've had many revolutions in our industry due to technology, ranging from greener building materials to time-saving appliances. Soon we're going to have Wi-Fi blocking wallpaper!

A French research team at Centre Technique du Papier developed a snowflake-patterned paper - they call it metapaper - made from recycled materials that is effective in blocking 99% of the electromagnetic waves that travel through the air. Traditional wallpaper can be hung right over this special paper if you're not grooving on the flakes.

Why the fuss? Several reasons: homes and businesses that need boosts for their own wireless Internet signals will benefit; personal and corporate Wi-Fi will stay put inside the walls of the home or business to help discourage signal hacking; and there are purported health benefits in blocking out the bombardment of electromagnetic waves we're now being constantly subjected to. The special paper won't block FM radio signals or emergency frequencies. Keep your eyes out for metapaper; it's not on the market yet.
