The SAINT LAURENT boutique on rue Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris has finally opened up its door again after month of renovations. The face lift is directed by Hedi Slimane himself who is the creative director for the French house since 2012. The store which is basically covered in marble has features of brass, mirror-emebllished Art Deco pieces along with some ethnic touches and vintage treasures – not to mentioned the Bamana mask from Mali , which are reminiscent of the Yves Saint Laurent’s passion for Africa and African art sculptures which were seen in collections the designer made ​​with Pierre Bergé. Furniture is made by Dane Theo Ruth and French designers Jacques Adnet, Andre Sornay and Alfred Porteneuve along with drawings by Jacques  and Emile Ruhlmann. The 390 m² space accommodates the ready-to-wear collection and accessories for woman on the ground floor, while the first floor houses a private room reserved for VIPs – the only boutique in Paris to offer this exclusive private space. Only two other Saint Laurent shops in the world offer a private lounge – Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles and Green Street in New York. All Parisian SL stores will from now on follow in the flagship store’s footsteps and present the new store concept by Slimane.

Zuza Mengham Sculpt  Scents at The Conran  Shop

ABOUT the Artist London-based artist and designer Zuza Mengham is fascinated by materials. She makes large-scale sculptures and installations that explore ideas of what constitutes a ‘space’, and objects that toy with the suggestion of function. Often incorporating traditional craft techniques into new settings and methods of making – as exemplified in her ‘fictitious furniture’ series of steel sculptures that seem both pointless and purposeful – Zuza creates modernist, abstract works that seem intriguingly out of sync with reality. Her current work has seen her shift from steel to resin – another material that is briefly malleable before settling into permanence – alongside a jewellery series that uses powdered copper and slate to create unique marbling effects.

Is this not the best looking florists you ever did see? I know.

It's BLUSH

in Auckland's Parnell, and was designed top to toe by Blush owner and creative director, Kelly Karam. Yes, it was Kelly's idea to make use of that lovely high stud by creating stacked troughs to house the flowers. And her idea to have Powersurge make her a solid brass library ladder (at the risk of sounding like I'm 18, I am obsessed with that ladder) to reach the highest troughs. And her idea to have a massive brass counter custom-made, with handleless drawers in the back. Kelly has an impeccable eye, for interiors as much as for the floral styling she's known for, for weddings, events, and lucky flower-receiving people. Also - special mention to Think Pack who (in collaboration with Kelly), designed the flower carrier and luxe packaging.  Who wouldn't love flowers delivered in one of those long pink and gold foil boxes?
