Joseph Dirand

Joseph Dirand‘s home in the Seventh Arrondissement in Paris was recently renovated by the sought-after Architect and the result is a minimalist apartment with perfectly restored traditional French details. The furniture in Dirand’s home is all form and substance. In the living room, sofa and side chairs are Pierre Jeanneret, in the kitchen the family eats at a Ettore Sottsass table, in the bedroom an Oscar Niemeyer chair looks graciously at the bed. As most French, Joseph Dirand relies on excellent craftsmanship to restore the neglected into its past glory. For his home, Joseph decided on simple stucco walls, Versailles parquet floors and simple wall moldings inspired by 17th century Interior Architecture.
One of the things I miss about New York is its wide avenues with synchronized traffic lights during rush hour. Its over sized sidewalks where sophisticated and practical New Yorkers know how to stay on the right side. As a matter of fact I once read that happy cities have in common wide and walkable sidewalks which makes perfect sense to me to whom walking is so enjoyable and relaxing notably in a City where most of the things you look at are beautiful and inspiring. That’s one of the reasons I love Jane-Kim’s Instagram Acct. It’s full of New York City photographs so artistic and beautiful that it brings me inspiration wherever I am. Enjoy!

Hermès accessories are perhaps the chicest that can be in jewelry accessories. Collier De Chien bracelet and cuff come in one size with different leather and hardware options. It’s one staple of almost every Fashion blogger and is coveted by all women who never neglect accessorizing. Those chic ladies who understand that a jewelry accessory can complement or even make an outfit. Enjoy!
In my pursuit for images of Black and White Interiors I remembered this stunning home decorated in this timeless elegant hue combination. The owners love black and white decor hence their Architect design a home with the stunning backdrop of white walls, high lacquered black floors, black curtains bedecked with splashes of gold, gray and dark brown. The choice of a black-and-white palette for the decor of this house enhances the architecture while the mixture of modern and classic furniture brings in a touch of classic modernism.
