i am in paris for maison objet, searching for a few great things to add to our offerings of new design. staying at my favorite new hotel in the 11th near oberkampf, a few blocks walk to the marais and the bastille area. this is a great area, not touristy, great small restaurants, interesting small shops. this little hotel is wonderful, newly renovated, organic and bio breakfast and has some of my favorite products, korres from greece.

Watch this video to understand Rick Owens view of his furniture.

We have this Curial Chair in the gallery now. Numbered 17/25.

It is a beautiful sculpture as is his fashion, stores in NYC, London, Paris.

Rick Owens, fashion designer came to Paris in 2003 to create for Revillon. After opening his own creative house he began a collection of furniture to suit his aesthetic for his own home. Owens has said that he " tries to make clothes like Lou Reed makes music, minimal chord changes and direct" Raw and refined, like art and architecture.

Influenced by Le Corbusier and Brancusi.
