Pierre Yovanovitch update

It has been about 5 years since I last featured Parisian architect and interior designer Pierre Yovanovitch, and after devouring his portfolio I have to admit that I'm loving his newer work much more. A bit more refined, a bit more rustic, a bit more neutral. Elegant and contemporary, design projects that persuade by the strength of their soundly conceived architectural presence that gracefully avoids both complication and ostentation. So good I have some favourites coming up later.

Germain Suignard

I want to eat that photo above. Utter perfection. Captured by talented Parisian photographer Germain Suignard. All the others are his as well. There is a whole lotta midcentury fabulousness up in here.  

P.S. Fellow Ottawans, it's that time of the year! The Ottawa Antique Show is happening this Friday to Sunday at Carleton U!! Always a good time, and always lots of cool things to see and purchase (I scored in April!). Check out their website or Facebook for details.

Fresh, fun, colourful, bright. There's whimsy and humour and joy and simplicity. Oh it's like a drink of cold water. The name of my new crush? The photographer that has my pulse racing? Paris based photographer Julie Ansiau. Un portefeuille d'exception!
