Ancien et Moderne 2017 – the Paris Pop Up Returns

Ancien et Moderne Paris Pop Up

Now that the new year is here, the biggest design destination on everyone’s calendar is Paris for Maison et Objet and Deco Off later this month. I am thrilled to announce that Beth Dempsey and I will be presenting  Ancien et Moderne 2017, our unique Paris Pop Up that debuted last year. Representing the fusion of time-honored craftsmanship with 21st century lifestyle, the space will feature an international cadre of talent.

In our same charming left bank location as last year, in the heart of the Paris Deco Off action, will be a space celebrating the best of timeless style. With a theme of exotic bohemian chic, British, French and American participants were selected for their impeccable quality, style and creativity.

Fromental will once again be swathing the space with a custom wall covering, this year a vibrant hand-painted silk inspired by the iconic French artist Jean Lurçat – sneak peek detail below.
