recycling


It's been a while since the last blog thanks to a tremendous amount of travel and so there is a wealth of new material for the blog. One of my favorites from the Paris visit was this wonderful chandelier. It's an old brass base that originally must have hosted some other shade fitting, but some bright spark has had the idea of plugging the frame with plastic cutlery. In this case, spoons, but there was another with plastic forks. I found the curvaceous contrast in this irresistible, especially in back and white. The store was in the 9th arrondissement and I think this image nicely sums up the mix of old and new that's prevalent throughout the neighborhood.
