apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Style by Annick de Lorme

2004_10_25_julie.jpgFrench style. Wandered into this store on Saturday, drawn by the super cool cafe chairs in the window. We have been curious how these chairs are getting into the country lately and this store answered part of the question.

Annick de Lorme's shop on Wooster Street is an elegant mix of traditional parisian furniture and new modern by designer Julie Prisca. It is really an eclectic mix, but it works.

2004_10_25_chair.jpgThe chairs are made by Maison Gatti (since 1920) and constructed out of rattan and Rilsan, a natural polymer made of castor oil. They come in tons of shapes from stool to chair to armchair to lounge and in any color or weave you want. They also cost. Prices start at @ $685 per chair. Ugh. We will be looking for other options, but these are extremely nice (Annick is the exclusive distributor in North America). MGR

To whom it may concern,
Thank you so much for mentioning my store.
I am deeply touched by the time and the amount of research you did about my store.
Thank you again.
Very truly yours

I visited your store on January 2004 and purchased some bitter orange oil that burns on a cardboard ring sitting on a light bulb. The company was Agraria. I'm from Australia, and wanted to see if I could buy it locally, or on-line. Can you help with the details of the supplier. Many thanks.

The chairs are fantastic and truly unique. Pricey but very well worth it and will last a lifetime.

These are beautiful -- up til now I've always recommended that friends buy the bistro chairs from the boutique at Cafe de Flore; probably the same price, and certainly an option if you're visiting here in Paris.

But with all the choices you've given, no need to deal with shipping from la Belle France. Thanks!
