objects of empathy

 

 

The super cool concepts and brilliant execution of artist Miya Kondo.

I am particulary fond of her ceramic series.

 

 

 

 

L'univers calmant et subtile des créations de l'artiste à concepts Miya Kondo.

Exactement besoin de ça en ce moment.

 

 

jewels

 

Lately i have been doing some research on jewely design  -a field i am fairly ignorant in-  and I find myself so wonderfully surprised with my discoveries. 

Most of these pieces are easily categorized as objects of art in my book. They are so outrougeously beautiful and intricate, I would hang them on my wall. The thought of owning one to wear just gives me goosebumps.

 

 

 

In order of appearance:  Lizzie Fortunato, Eddie Borgo, Akong, Jennifer Loiselle, Marion Vidal and (my fave = pony hair!):  Elizabeth Knight.

 

 All designs sourced here.

 

 

 

Completely obsessed with the work of Anna Pogossova.  Do you ever ask yourself sometimes "how didn't i come up with such cool concepts?". I am having a moment like that, just now.

 

 

 

Très envieuse et un peu obsedée par le travail de cette artiste. J'adore ses compostions, choix de couleurs et la maîtrise de son sujet. Une grande source d'inspiration pour mes projets perso.

 

 

hat stories

 

I've kept you waiting,  but today i can finally share with you the work i did last month for Lillie & Cohoe.  Below are few samples of the pictures i styled and the ones that actually made the cut for their fall/winter catalog.

I thank Liz and Julie for putting so much trust in me on such a short notice, i truly hope to work with them again.

 If you wish to inquire about my services,  please contact me directly via my website www.anneclairerohe.com

Voici le résultat de mon travail de stylisme pour la marque Lillie & Cohoe.  Le catalogue automne / hiver 2012 vient d'être publié et je partage avec vous quelques extraits.

Un grand merci à Liz et Julie pour leurs efforts et leur grande confiance en moi, malgré la distance.

 

Wood, in a whole new way.

Stunning work by Elisa Strozyk.

 

 

 

so pleased!

 

This morning, the New York Times posted a beautifully styled home by the super talented duo Nightwood and oh surprise! a tryptich of my artwork is hanging in one of the pictures! (seen on the wall in the kitchen area - click on picture to enlarge).

What a warming & satisfying feeling to be associated with such a tasteful & sun-filled home.

Thank you to the designers and to the soulful owner of this gorgeous townhouse!

 

 

 

 

 

Un superbe appartement publié aujourd'hui dans la rubrique "Great homes and destinations" du New York Times et la douce surprise d'y trouver dans l'une de ces photos trois de mes aquarelles! (sur le mur dans la cuisine- cliquer sur l'image pour l'agrandir).

Les stylistes de Nightwood on sû trouver le parfait décor pour mon travail!  Je les en remercie et félicite la propriétaire de cette superbe maison qui respire paix et bien-être.

 

wyeth

 

The somehow theatrical styling choices in these pictures really caught my attention.  Found in the Wyeth lookbook.  Apparently the designer has not produced a collection since 2006.  But what i am interested in here is the decor.  I want to make a mural like the one the third picture!

 

 

 

Me donne des idées de décors... j'aime beaucoup le choix des couleurs et le petit coté "pièce de théâtre" de ces compositions.  Ligne de vêtements Wyeth.

 

 

the skin of things

 

 

When ceramics become objects of art. 

Work by Laure Sulger-Libessart. 

 

 

 

 

 

Splendide découverte que celle de la céramiste Laure Sulger-Libessart.

Aimerais tellement avoir l'une de ses création là sur mon buffet.

 

 

porcelaine

 

I have been in a state of erratic wishful thinking lately, sort of trying to reinvent my life, one million ideas at a time. And i don't know how to catalyze this energy, really.

The work of ceramist Nathalie Dérouet is a good representation of a peaceful mind bursting with new, challenging ideas.

* Enjoy *

gretel

 

Even if i try to stay away form the "product blog" type, once in a while i want to share with you a store or a product that is delighting my shopper senses. Gretel is the type of (web)store that initiates the "when i'll have a bigger house" kind of wishlist that we all secretly have. Lots of these objects yearn to be mine...

Un e-magasin tip-top d'objets design pour la maison. Et on n'en finit pas d'agandir sa wish list...

 

 

 

in sync with symmetry

 

The infinitely calming visual world of interior genius Michalea Scherrer. Her style draws inspiration from the clean lines of Japanese design. One of my favorite designer out there. Her aesthetic and need for tranquility deeply resonates with me.

 

 

 

 

 

Il m'arrive assez rarement d'adhérer avec tant de convictions au travail d'un décorateur d'interieur.  Michaela Sherrer, elle a ce truc qui me fait fondre.  Son style impeccable puise l'inspiration dans les lignes pures et minimalistes des intérieurs japonais.

 

 

precisely

 

In my crafty-artsy little wishbox, i have always had the wish to learn how to work paper like these two skillful & advanced artists do.  Two different techniques, same wow-effect on me.  I am affraid time won't be on my side this summer though, i have been quite busy between leaving one job, picking up tons of freelance work and enjoying a prolific time in my life!

 

* vive l'art et vive la création! *

J'aimerais un jour pouvoir procalmer maîtriser une technique telle que celle de ces deux artistes. Deux styles différents, utilisant le même médium: le papier. Quel talent. L'intégralité de leur travail à decouvrir en cliquant sur leur noms respectifs.

 

soul full

 

Mmmmm... i am freshly back from my trip to Alsace, France and i have about 550 pictures to sort through in order to give you a good resume of the amazing places i saw while vacationning there. So for today, i am just going to give you a small eye candy to keep you satisfy before i fully return.

I can't remember where i sourced these pictures but this primitive stool/table really caught my attention.

Small, with character. I call it quiet charisma.

 

En attendant les images de mon voyage de retour au pays (plus de 550 à trier!), voici une petite parenthèse sur un objet que j'affectionne beaucoup dans la déco: Le tabouret. Je l'aime en général dans toutes ses formes et matériaux, surtout lorsqu'il peut servir également de table de chevet... Celui-ci est particulièrement un chouchou avec son coté primitif et robuste.

 

stay minimal

 

If i was to give advice to someone decorating a room, i would say: edit first and then start adding objects (with measure!) and art that truly represent what you love. Too many times, we keep things around on the shelf just because we think we can't part with them or we think they are part of us or something. 

I am myself tough to tame when it comes to collecting beautiful objects, i held myself back just yesterday wandering around the Brooklyn Flea. I would have bought a handful of things if the passionate side of my brain had dominated the rational one.

That said, i have found in this Etsy shop named The Oak Leaves perfect minimal ceramic designs creating stories without cluttering : they are miniature!

I just love the aesthetic of their product and shop and wanted to use them for my official Spring post;

 

Think spring,

Think cleaning

and reinvent your home with a bare mind.

 

 

 

 

 

Quoi de plus réjouissant que le commencement du printemps?

J'ai trouvé ces céramiques miniatures parfaites pour acceuilir l'idée d'un grand ménage de printemps.

Minimal et éparse pour un ménage de l'esprit aussi!

 

 

 

Enjoy life, respect the planet.

That's the motto at environment, a fabulous line of to-die-for wood furniture pieces with industrial accents. In my book, the perfect choice of textures and materials.
