Visiting design fairs and events it’s the best way for finding new products or even looking at those things you already saw on the web by person. I love to walk around, speak with designers, hear the stories behind the products.
I’m publishing today a small recap with the products, news and places I noticed this edition of Paris Design Week and Maison et Objet. Random, like putting here on the blog my notepad of my Paris-day with those things that drew my attention inside the fair and outside in the city exhibitions. Enjoy!
