hello, si from the french by design blog here. Today, in this regular “i could live here” series, we’re heading to paris, france. attachez vos ceintures* and bon voyage!
oh, now that’s another place i could easily live in! this is the home of isabelle, matthieu, and their 4-year-old son, arsène. isabelle and her companion are both architects, and transformed the abandoned attic of an old covent in the heart of the city of lights into a cosy interior, thanks to a dark color palette and a few brilliant interior design ideas. isabelle drew the front door, the staircase, the living room teak bookcase and the fireplace to name a few, and local artisans and craftsmen let their magic hands to the rest. little arsène can therefore enjoy sleeping in a dream-come-true wooden cabin-bed in his bedroom. now, how seriously cool is this?

Just as how antipasto enlightens ones to have great expectations for the main dish to come, “Being an inspiration to fashion,” ANTIPAST is named to pursue and perform in the same manner. these beautifully detailed tights come from Japanese designers Junko Jinushi and Kyoko Kato. the designing duo established their fashion company Coup de Champignon in 1991, where their accessory line Antipast first saw its beginnings. Their exotic tights and socks come in a number of bold patterns and colours and evoke a whimsical Japanese sensibility. not to mention their amazing graphics. simply swoon-worthy — just go have a peek at their lookbooks.
their motto? “Antipast inspires and escorts your appetite for wearing just like what the sun does to blossom flowers”. nice.
