apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Joe the Polar Bear from Ibride can now be seen at the Bon Marché department store, which is hosting a satellite of contemporary art, fashion and design objects from Paris design gallery Arty Dandy until May 24.

At the Joe the Polar Bear website, the owners of the 49 other limited-edition polar bear bookcases can share stories and photos of Joe the Bear sightings on a world map. The first several bears have migrated to Paris, Milan, Moscow, Amsterdam, Athens, Cairo, Sofia, London, Geneva, Vienna, Copenhagen, Bangkok, Sao Paulo and New York.
