Enough football for a while (well until wednesday!)... On my way home from work, I came across this cool lighting store at 31 boulevard Raspail. FontanaArte, founded in 1932 by Gio Ponti, is apparently known for its lighting fixtures, glass objects, and furnishings created for many famous designers and architects. All I know is that I like this photo!
Beautiful! I like it also.
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to figure out how you took this angle Eric. Really cool and you know how to make ordinary things interesting.
