Resin and brass collection by Martha Sturdy

Canadian (Vancouver) artist and designer Martha Sturdy came back to the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York City to introduce new pieces in a green and lush setting. Pieces are entirely made of marbled white resin or hand sculpted brass. We love the table top resin and large-scale resin planters as well as the brass "Art Screen", a sculptural room divider made of brass. Martha plays by bringing the outdoors inside through planting and greenery.

The little sister of the most prestigious and famous French brasserie in New York, Balthazar, is coming to Wall Street for our greater pleasure. Named "Augustine", the new restaurant is part of Beekman Hotel located in Manhattan's Financial District and offers an amazing setting featuring Art Nouveau tiles, distressed mirrors, wrought-iron chandeliers and leather banquettes.

Montaigne Market Suite at Paris Plaza Athénée

Located at 57, Montaigne Avenue, Montaigne Market is a luxurious concept-store offering a cutting-edge selection of clothing, jewels, shoes and accessories by top of the range designers for ladies. During few months, the store moves to one of the Plaza Athénée's suite, overlooking "Cour Jardin", turning it into an exclusive shop looking like a genuine Parisian flat (beauty selection in the bathroom for example). The perfect occasion to enjoy a shopping experience as unusual as private, turned into a custom-made session if you want to privatize it. Faithful to its habits, the concept-store created by Liliane Jossua in Saint Barth won't cease to surprise you.
