During our visit to Euroluce, as part of the most important design fair: the Salone del Mobile, we discovered Art et Floritude, a French company that has existed since 1850.

Honestly I find it hard to express with words the impact with Art et Floritude, I realize that adjectives are not enough for me to describe amazement and wonder.

Let's face it, during these fairs you run, you have a roadmap of things that you absolutely want to see and you are afraid of losing them, but you inevitably do not respect it, because fortunately you give space to amazement, to stop to see and discover unexpected and beautiful things. Here's the impact with them was like that.

I stopped, enchanted and said to myself, "wow and what is this? What does such a beautiful olive tree do in a stand? How wonderful! They enlightened it all!”

Then I slowly approached and realized that it was an installation, the trunk was true but the branches and leaves... a masterful work of craftsmanship. Believe me, the leaves looked real, with the ribs... and the ceramic olives. A masterpiece.

As you know, my camera has decided to throw a tantrum and therefore the photos absolutely do not do justice to their creations and in this regard I invite you to visit their website. You will find much more beautiful photos with wonderful settings.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for the welcome, kindness and information to give me.

Below you will find a presentation.

Enjoy the reading.
