I have “met” Paola Navone last year at a great panel together with Patricia Urquiola during the Salone del Mobile in Milan. Since then I am a big fan. And I have recently visited Merci in Paris. She opened the Italian version last year in Milan together with art director Daniel Rozensztroch. Paola designs driven by her extreme interest in the most widely differing cultures – particularly oriental ones – but she works as well as an architect, art director, interior designer, critic, teacher and organiser of exhibitions and events. Among her clients are Gervasoni, Armani Casa, Knoll International, Alessi, Driade, Arcade, Dada, Molteni, Natuzzi, Roche Bobois and Swarovski being only some examples. And now her apartment in Paris there has been published at Côte Maison. Amazing! The whole shooting reminds me of the Merci Store in Paris last week!

El año pasado durante el Salone del Mobile en Milan hubo una conferencia muy interesante a la que asistí, y allí conocí a Paola Navone, y soy muy fan suya desde entonces. Reconocí su trabajo también hace poco de nuevo en la tienda de Merci en Paris y ella abrió mano a mano el híbrido de Merci en Milan en el 2012 con el director creativo Daniel Rozensztroch. Paola diseña motivada por su gran interés en culturas varias, sobre todo, en el mundo oriental, pero también trabaja como arquitecta, directora de arte, interiorista, crítico, profesora y organiza eventos. Cuenta entre sus clientes entre otros a Gervasoni, Armani Casa, Knoll International, Alessi, Driade, Arcade, Dada, Molteni, Natuzzi, Roche Bobois y Swarovski. Su apartamento de Paris ha salido publicado en Côte Maison, y me recuerda mucho a la tienda de Merci que visité la semana pasada, la verdad.

Hello Gudy,
after you had visited my blog I had to pop over her to check yours out as well – and I really like it! Especially the video bookreview, what a great idea!
And to answer your question to me: yes, we will have an international shop soon, later this spring. More info and a signup form (to be the first to know more) is available at http://www.nordicdesigncollective.se/yes.
Have a great weekend! :-)
