If you’re in Paris this July, make time for a stop at the Fradin Labrosse gallery on the left bank. This beautiful gilded bronze standing lamp (1970) by French designer Rene Broissard with its stylized heron base stopped us in our tracks. Supremely elegant, the smoked altuglas floor base serves to anchor the soaring heron. Just glorious!

Also spied at the gallery was this fabulous Italian mid century sofa by Frederico Munari (1950). Sometimes referred to as the ‘canapé haricot’ due to its shape,  it is large, imposing and spectacular! (L230 x H80cm). We loved the refined, sweeping curve and the beautifully positioned legs. Just oozing elegance and sophistication, this would be a true statement piece.

Absolutely love this pair of standing lamps (1969) by Paolo Portoghesi (b.1931). They are made of white painted wooden rings. Porteghesi’s training as an architect can clearly be seen in the linear structure of these lights.
