I arrived in Paris on Thursday night to attend Maison & Objet, one of the largest international interiors trade show and source some gorgeous new designs for the shop (more of this later). As I'm staying with my sis' until Tuesday, on Saturday we paid our usual visit to MERCI, Paris' fabulous concept store.
This time, MERCI was celebrating Japan with gorgeous packaging, calligraphy and simple, utilitarian objects, beautiful to look at.
For the fist time, the floor dedicated to lighting, furniture and home accessories didn't really rock my boat but I loved the men's corner which had a great combo of industrial furniture, soft cashmere jumpers and beautiful leather bags.
On the top floor, my favourite corner was their linen corner, piles of gorgeous table and bed linens in hues of grays, mustard, crispy white, the kind of bed linen shelves I dream to have at home (with actually someone else to do the ironing bit).
Saturday was boiling hot in Paris so Elodie and I had a drink at the MERCI's cafe and it was quite funny to see the crowd coming in and out of the shop...I hope these few pictures will make you feel as if you were there...
