The latest Interior Trends from Paris

What: Maison et Objet, Interior Fair
Where: Paris, Frankreich

Summer can come with colorful tableware from Pols Potten

Twice a year the interior fair ‘Maison et Objet’ in Paris opens its gates for the expert audience: The M&O is the platform for thousands of international buyers, interior designers, architects, shopkeepers and lifestyle journalists who flood the fairground with its eight exhibition halls. Even though the mood in September 2016 was rather dampened due to the terrorist attacks in France, the response to the show this spring is a lot stronger and brighter.

Colorful pillow parade! Cotton pillows by Van Verre

For many years I visit the Maison et Objet and I do that always with great enthusiasm, as it is the most diverse and informative exhibition of its kind. While the ‘Salone del Mobile’ in Milano showcases large design brands of the furniture industry, the Maison et Objet shows all areas of living, decorations and furniture designs, home accessories, textiles, fragrances, the world of the child, tableware. Every time I ask myself how the exhibitors and designers create a new motto, a pioneering theme, within a period of less than six months.

No longer so fluttery, but still beautifully colorful – butterflies under a glass hood

A challenge that has to be faced by the fashion industry as well. Both industries benefit from the seasons and the associated materials and colors. But convincing customers to buy a new sofa or new tableware requires another, in my opinion, greater persuasiveness of the seller and the needs of the customer than buying a new dress or a bikini.

Green is still very trendy

The good news: color green – which I already discovered on the last Maison & Objet as a trend – remains. Videlicet in all its nuances, from delicate lime green to bright petrol to elegant fir green. For spring and summer 2017, the industry has yet another motto: Color, color, more color. The whole Maison et Objet presented itself in a single color noise. What could be more beautiful during this gray season? BvH

The colorful world of the French company Asiatides

Chic: Black and yellow play of colors

Very popular are velvet sofas

I really like those brass door handles in the form of parrots and trees. Handwork from India

For (luxury) children: retro plane as (day) bed from Magical Furniture

Rosé-colored velvet sofa by Bruccs in front of matching flamingo wallpaper. So retro, so cool!

Color, color and more color: carpets of Italian Seletti

Classic wicker sofa by Gervasoni in front of a cute flower wall

Green, green, green

I love the green glasses. They make you want to spend some summer holidays

Outdoor furniture by Missoni homecollection

Colorful ceramic beetles as a decorative element at the Portuguese designer Mambo

The Jonathan Adler collection is always good for a colorful surprise

Brit-Chic by Jonathan Adler

The whole Maison et Objet presented itself in a single color noise …

… as here at the booth of Fancy

Each glass is unique: glass art by the Italian designer Carlo Moretti

Trash or art? Armchair for friends of stuffed animal formations and for fans of extravagant living designs: Flamingo chair of the Belgian label AP …

… Also available in the variants wild boar …

… and swan

Color, color and more color

The product range at Maison et Objet includes not only decorations and furniture designs but also home accessories, textiles, fragrances, the world of the child …

… and tableware. This one is from Lifestyle homecollection

If you do not have enough books, you can now stick them on. Wallpaper on the stand of Venetia Studium

Lampshades made of peacock feathers: How wonderful is that?

Also an installation idea: chandeliers at a branch

Original: This iron table was made from an old oil drum

In last September there has been a noticeable drop in visitor numbers: 40% fewer trade visitors than in the comparative months of the previous years. There hasn’t been a trace of this in January 2017

African Delights

After so many popping colors here’s something soothing for the eyes: art from Africa

The Spanish Fernando Otero specialized in art from Africa: colorful wedding hats from Namibia …

… wooden masks from the Ivory Coast …

From the Congo: former seat mats for guests, today a decorative wall decoration

… bronze heads from Benin. Ethno-Chic is always ‘in’

Regine Sixts’ Ladies Wiesn: men you’ll have to stay outside

Birgit von Heintze — Thu, 24 Sep 2015 15:05:03 +0000

What: Regine Sixts’ Ladies ‘Wiesn’
Where: Oktoberfest, Munich

1.300 ladies from all over Germany are eager to oblige

Wiesn Alarm: When rental car entrepreneur Regine Sixt invites to her traditional ‘Ladies-Wiesn’ on the first Monday after the opening weekend of the Oktoberfest the German ladies are eager to oblige. Not a single woman who would want to miss this exclusive – and therefore highly desired- invitation. 1.300 ladies get ready and arrive dressed in the newest Dirndl creations at the Marstalltent at the Theresienwiese in Munich. The beer tent transforms to a runway and selfie setting. No admittance for men by the way. I was there and will introduce you to some of the ladies in their gorgeous dirndls. Who wore the most beautiful one?

Moderator Verena Kerth and me in swaying-rhythm

The guest list reads like a who-is-who list: “Some of the most important women from the world of business, politics and society are represented here today”, welcomes Regine Sixt the attendants, among them mother-in-law of Swedish princess Madeleine – Eva O’Neill, Princess Elisabeth of Bavaria, the wife of the prime minister of Bavaria Karin Seehofer, Kimberly Marteau Emerson – wife of the American ambassador, actress Uschi Glas, DJane Giulia Siegel, WAG Cathy Hummels.

Regine Sixt promotes her charity ‘Tränchen Trocknen’ and asks to support the children’s aid foundation. I think it is remarkable how the active entrepreneur has been exceptionally committed for years now – and the success is impressive.
When finally hit-singer Roberto Blanco hit the stage and belted out his hit “Ein bisschen Spaß muss sein”, none of the exuberantly ladies remained on their seats any longer. Dirndls were presented in all sorts and colors: from traditional to really imaginative. Sometimes it is astonishing to which lengths some women got to get attention- not always flattering. After three hours of swaying to the music, feasting and donating, it was time to say goodbye. ‘Servus’ and ‘Pfiat di’ – see you next year! BvH

Damenwiesn into the Marstall-tent: Cheers!

Who wore the most beautiful Dirndl?

Wiesn Alarm!

Gala editor-in-chief Anne Meyer-Minnemann wore a dirndl by Munich label OWLOON- who, like the name already suggests, have an owl as their logo. “This is my dirndl discovery of the year”, gushes the journalist, “jacket and dirndl are made from extraordinary fabrics and are coordinated beautifully. They are modern and don’t have anything in common with the so-called fantasy dirndls.”

Nice: Katerina Schröder, wife of the Berlin BMW head-of-marketing Hans Rainer Schröder in a traditional dirndl by Angermaier

Beautiful in pastel: PR-Expert Andrea Schoeller and daughter Helena, both in dirndls by Sportalm

From the tv container straight to the ‘Wiesnzelt’: Entertainer Desiree Nick likes to wear custom-made dresses with a little bling by her tailor Astrid Soell from Regensburg. Power woman Nick tells me about her upcoming Christmas show at the ‘Berlin Theater’ on Kurfürstendamm. It never gets boring with her

The wife of the US-ambassador Kimberly M. Emerson (Blouse and Dirndl by Lodenfrey) revealed that Regine Sixt dirndl designer has designed the apron especially for her.

Chic Boutique Belgique in Cologne

Birgit von Heintze — Tue, 26 May 2015 08:00:24 +0000

What: Boutique Belgique
Where: Cologne, Belgisches Viertel

“You’ve got to go – this is the top shopping destination of Cologne – trés chic”, told me my friend Charlotte, when I was planning my recent trip to the Rhine-Main area. No sooner said than done. Located in “Belgisches Viertel” of Cologne – which is also known for its many pubs and restaurants – shop founder Lena Terlutter established her fashion and lifestyle store “Boutique Belgique”. A total of four stores, because trendsetter Terlutter is very business-minded.

Only one year ago “BB LOVES” reached this stage (there you mainly get home decoration and Interior), and there’s the “Super Store” since 2012 as well as the first shop “Sahnestück”, that has been founded in 2007.

Shopping paradise for all fashion victims

Apparently, the former model Terlutter captures the spirit of her predominantly young clientele precise, because her shops are successful – although they’re all in immediate vicinity to each other in Cologne’s trendy district.

On Instagram and Facebook Lena Terlutter posts diligently the latest trends and styles and daily presents herself with the latest must-haves.

Curious, I therefore walked into “Boutique Belgique”, a bright concept store with white wooden floor and tables from sale Euro-pallets on which not only fashion, but also home accessories, books and perfumes are presented.

Shopping victims will find trendy and inexpensive parts of labels like Lucy Paris, See u soon, Be Girl, Deby Debo, Vila Clothes. I fell in love with the sweet, floral Espandrilles of Maison Scotch. Now the summer can come. BvH
