MORE GREAT DESIGN FROM PARIS



Today was another busy day of walking the aisles of Maison et Object in Paris. We covered a lot of ground and with the hundreds of companies on display, we worked hard to find the few that fit into the refined Provide aesthetic. Teixidors from Spain, is one such brand that produces luxurious blankets and throws – we ordered a variety in Marino wool and a collection with a strong ecological component (shown above). Look for that to arrive at the store soon.

More interesting things were found in the candles and scents section where we met with True Grace Candles and have our sights on some beautiful room diffusers and others styles that will be new to Provide. We found a French company, named Mad et Len that is doing something highly original, we hope to offer their product soon.

We dropped by the very impressive Nespresso "booth" to see some new finishes in the Citiz machine, refuel and continue on our way. It is hard to express just how big the show is and how one must keep alert, to edit down and discover those hidden gems. The Nespresso helped! More tomorrow...
